The “Biggest
Night In Hollywood” was last night and I was honestly nervous about what the
Red Carpet would bring. I said in a
previous post that Red Carpets this Awards Season have been very blah. Thankfully, the stars brought it for the Oscars. Here are my favorite looks:
Once again, JLo shut it down! She can do no wrong in my book.
Lupita is another one who can do no wrong. And how flawless is her skin?!
I don’t know Rosamund Pike but she killed it last
night.
Common always represents for the fellas. He and Lupita share the same stylist…she’s very
talented.
David Oyelowo showed us that men can look good
wearing bold colors too!
I’m giving
these two ladies Honorable Mention.
While they both look stunning and I like each of their looks, I don’t love either. What I can’t deny is the confidence
that each displays. Solange‘s happiness radiates and her style is all her own. And Zoe
Saldana, who had twins a few months ago, just looks so comfortable in
her own skin. They both owned the Red
Carpet and I love it!
And finally, a
BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Common and John
Legend for taking home the Oscar for Best Original Song for “Glory” from
the movie Selma. I am SO PROUD of these
two men! Both are veteran musicians in
an industry that’s hyper-focused on sex, the degradation of women and image over
artistry. Yet, these men have carved
their own niche and brought it to the mainstream. More so, every time they
stepped to the mic to accept an award this season, they made certain to
acknowledge that “Glory” wasn’t just a song; it was an expression of our
experiences – the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s and the
challenges we faced before, after and even today.
And I love how they brought Selma to the Oscars. Thank you, Common and John Legend, for making certain the movie and its message goes beyond the theaters.
Xo,
