Jennifer Aniston and Scarlett Johansson had a few things in common last night. They were both wearing Versace, to mixed results. They both attended the Oscars as presenters and both attended with their lesser-known partners/husbands. Beyond that… yeah, not that much in common.
For what it’s worth, I actually sort of liked Jennifer Aniston’s Versace. I thought it was strapless, but she has one nude-type strap, you just can’t see it because she wore her hair down and styled the same way it’s always styled. I liked this Versace because A) it didn’t look too prom-y, which Aniston veers into often enough and B) because she wasn’t moping around in a black dress. While this cream/nude doesn’t really stand out, she was on trend for the evening, and I actually think this was one of the best dress examples for that trend. I would have styled her slightly differently – make the makeup a bit stronger and do something different with her hair. I also would have gotten her in some major jewels – this whole look is desperate for some bling. Is it just me or does Justin Theroux have a “trapped” look? JT’s wearing D&G, by the way.
I was complaining on Twitter about Aniston getting to present with David Oyelowo, because it seemed like a false equivalency that they were both equally snubbed. They were not. David Oyelowo was legitimately snubbed for a career-defining performance as MLK and Jennifer Aniston just try to buy and hustle her way into an Oscar nomination and the Academy gave her a pat on the head and turned her away. They are not equal. That is all.
As for ScarJo… I really didn’t like this. But I’ll try to be nice… her body looked crazy and this Versace just emphasized her insane proportions. I liked that she went with a bold color, even though I thought this particular shade of green read as kind of cheap-looking in many photos. Most of my issues with this look were with the necklace, which was too matchy with the dress and just too BIG for ScarJo. (Update: Scarlett is wearing a Piaget ear cuff.) She’s a small, short girl with an hourglass figure – she needs to lengthen her body and neck, and the necklace cuts her off. I’m so over her Miley hair too. PS… What does Romain have against socks?! Brother is NEVER wearing socks.
