Naomi Watts in Armani Prive
 As the stars start to arrive, let's look at Oscar Red Carpet Fashion 2013. It's not exactly a year of thrills and chills for fashion. More like a year of safe, pale, and boring, with a few stunning exceptions. SCULPTED SILHOUETTES- Naomi Watts pictured above and below, in Armani Prive looks like a movie star. An exceptional aspirational gown as described by Armani as  a "custom Giorgio Armani gown fully envelope in layered gunmetal grey sequins.  The other worldly gown features galactic cap sleeves and an abstract triangle cut out in the front.  The fitted bodice cascades into a slightly pooling train creating an architecturalsilhouette."

She’s Got Leg- And Too Much of it from Angelina Jolie

Something tells us that Angelina Jolie is somewhere out in Malibu with her ultra-toned right leg covered in a militia's worth of ice packs after last night's odd show of the come-hither at the 84th annual Academy Awards. What was with that much leg? Every picture of the starlet, every pose, is just ridiculous and on a 'Hollywood' stylist note, completely questionable as it was unbearable to watch. >>MORE: Oscar Fashion 2012 MORE: Red Carpet Sure, we continue to applaud Jolie on her relentless philanthropic works and agree that most of the time, especially after her Brad Pitt make-over, she looks amazing.

Best of Oscar Red Carpet Fashion 2012 Rundown

From Penelope Cruz's retro-Hollywood inspired Armani Prive gown to a parade of matronly gala dresses, you never know what to expect from the style scene at the Oscars and this year's 84th annual Academy Awards served as no exception -although a cold one indeed. The problem with the stylization of Hollywood is the banal red carpet scene as of late with its too safe & ho-hum attempts and now rare misfires. With the infiltration of stylists amongst Tinseltown actresses have been dressing increasingly flat, mundane, less daring & less personal. And though we've selected our top five favorites of the evening, they do bring to mind that Hollywood style has changed little over the years and like a good fashion show, the

Oscar Red Carpet Fashion- The Most Matronly… it’s sort of like the worst

I'm sorry but I have a habit of trying to not point a finger on who looks awful, because everyone has a bad day.
