Admiring from the Backseat: Oscars 2012 Edition

by The Backseat Stylers | February 26th, 2012

Michelle Williams in Louis Vuitton

Finally, the fanciest, shmanciest night in Hollywood arrived tonight, the 2012 Academy Awards! Fess up – you were glued to the tube for all 17 hours of Oscars red carpet and awards ceremony coverage like us, weren’t you? No need to feel ashamed about it. We too oohed and aahed over Michelle Williams‘ coral Louis Vuitton gown, cheered for Jessica Chastain‘s best red carpet outing to date (in Alexander McQueen!), and felt those pangs of jealousy over how hot Angelina Jolie looked in Atelier Versace.

All of our favourite leading ladies stepped up their sartorial game, just as we’d hoped. Rooney Mara wore a colour other than black for once – white Givenchy, in fact. Gwyneth Paltrow continued to rock the sleek, minimalist gowns, choosing a white Tom Ford for the occasion. Stacy Keibler - whom S still can’t believe has gone from WWE wrestler to George Clooney arm candy – donned the only Marchesa gown we’ve ever loved.

Rounding out our top 10 best dressed list were Emma Stone in red Giambattista Valli couture (how funny was her bit with Ben Stiller?), Rose Byrne in a black sequin number by Vivienne Westwood, Milla Jovovich in Elie Saab couture, and Natalie Portman in vintage Dior (from 1954!), carrying the Charlotte Olympia ‘Pandora’ clutch S so covets. They too seemed to have gotten the memo that red, black and white would be the colours for Hollywood’s biggest night out.

Admiring from the Backseat: Natalie Portman

by The Backseat Stylers | December 5th, 2010

Life in the backseat has been so hectic lately that some of our regular features have slipped a bit, but “Admiring from the Backseat” is back with a vengeance today with a spotlight on my celeb girl crush, Natalie Portman (last featured here). Portman is sporting none other than the very Lanvin (hearts) H&M plum one-shoulder dress I bought 2 weeks ago. If I had any doubts about the fabulousness of this dress (I didn’t), I don’t anymore – what’s fab enough for Miss Portman is certainly fab enough for little old me. Now all I need is a movie premiere to wear my own dress to…now accepting invites from A-list male actors looking for arm candy with which to walk the red carpet.

Natalie Portman stayed both warm and chic at the Quicktake Rodarte Exhibition opening party in NYC last night. There’s something so aesthetically pleasing about a winter white wool coat, especially paired with red lipstick and gold pumps. Natalie can do no wrong in my books; she’s proven time and time again, outfit after outfit, that she’s one of the most stylish women in Hollywood.

Loving Natalie Portman’s look during her recent appearance on The View, especially her Lanvin Spring 2010 necklace. Wish it was within my budget, but it looks like I’ll be keeping an eye out for a more affordable version instead. This calls for an Etsy visit.
