Hollywood Style Glamour is Back

Some Oscar gowns were absolutely flowing--like the styles women wore in classic musical movies. Other gowns looked a little harder to navigate in, and like something you'd see on a 1958 Barbie, but they all came together to create a feeling of vintage glamour at this year's Academy Awards. Jewelry was mostly understated, but elegant, with white and colorful diamonds on lots of ears.

Overall, I liked the look. Not everything of course--we all have our own opinions when it comes to jewelry design and fashions. Like the canary yellow Vera Wang gown that nomineee Michelle Williams wore. I've read a whole range of opinions on that one--everything from she looked like Big Bird to it was gorgeous. You know, all that matters is that she felt great wearing it.

Salma Hayek was beautiful in teal blue and I loved Jennifer Lopez's Oscar look--reporters have said her green gown was a vintage piece. Jenninfer Aniston and Keira Knightley were two of the few women who wore large necklaces.
