My Oscars 2024 Best Dressed!!!

It’s been ages since my last Best Dressed post, way back at the 2018 Met Gala! With some downtime on my hands, I couldn’t resist dishing out my top picks from the red carpet at today’s Oscars, so without further ado, here are my top 10 best dressed…

Past Lives actress Greta lee looks so chic, clean and elegant with this simple black look from Loewe! An absolute stunner!

Ariana Grande is in Giambattista Valli Haute Couture looking oh-so glorious! The Wicked star announced the winner for Best Original song!

Best Actress nominee Sandra Hüller looks absolutely smashing with this Schiaparelli creation!

America Ferrera donned a sparkling pink Versace gown as a tribute to Barbie. For her role in Barbie, America snatched her first Best Supporting Actress nomination! This really is a beautiful look from head to toe! 

Margot Robbie looks immaculate in this black sequined Versace gown. She may not have won anything earlier tonight, but she’s a winner in my book with this look! 

Emma Stone consistently dazzles on the red carpet, and this custom pale mint peplum gown from Louis Vuitton is simply flawless on her! She was dressed to win her second Oscar Best Actress throphy for Poor Things! Congratulations Emma!

Lupita Nyong’o announced the winner of the Best Supporting Actress award while wearing a powder blue silk embroidered gown by Giorgio Armani Privé, adorned with crystal beading. As usual, Lupita never disappoints!

Anya Taylor-Joy stuns in Dior with jewelry from Tiffany & Co. Just like Zendaya, Anya always knows how to work the red carpet! 

Carey Mulligan, who was up for best actress for Maestro, looks elegant in a black-and-white Balenciaga mermaid dress! One of my absolute favorites of the night! She’s everything!

As soon as Zendaya stepped onto the stage, two words came to my mind – luminous and ethereal! Her collaboration with her longtime stylist and friend, Law Roach, never disappoints. Zendaya stunned in an antique rose silk gown by Giorgio Armani Privé, perfectly complemented by elegant drop earrings, a ring, and bracelet from Bulgari. She’s truly a vision to behold! This might just be one of the most stunning looks to ever grace the Oscars red carpet!

Lemme know who your favorites are!

Review: Past Lives (2023)

Nominated for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay.

“Past Lives” is a semi-autobiographical narrative that draws from the experiences of its writer and director, tracing the journey of two childhood friends across 24 years as they navigate the evolving nature of their relationship and diverging life paths. It offers a poignant exploration of fate, choices, and the complexities of human connection.

The film unfolds as a meticulously crafted story about human connections, losing them over time, and reconnecting in the future. Greta Lee delivers a captivating performance, complemented by John Magaro and Teo Yoo’s raw and understated acting, creating a palpable on-screen chemistry with both.

I think one of the film’s strengths lies in its sensitive portrayal of the immigrant experience, capturing the intricacies of cultural adaptation and belonging. It has profound dialogue, nothing that is contrived, and will most likely resonate with a lot of people. 

However, I find the pacing excessively slow, as the narrative unfolds gradually without significant plot developments.

I still think that its nomination for Best Original Screenplay is well-deserved, reflecting the depth of Celine Song’s storytelling in offering a nuanced exploration of human relationships. Celine Song really delivered a riveting debut of a film that is quite understated but still hits home.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
