Oscars

The Oscars, which took place last night (Sunday March, 5) are quite the opposite of affordable fashion. Stars walk the most celebrated catwalk (a.k.a the red carpet) with photographers snapping away, fans screaming and Joan and Melissa just waiting to know who they are wearing. Though the stars wear thousand dollar gowns and millions of dollars worth of jewels that doesn’t mean you can’t get more affordable versions of their gowns.
One of the most famous fashion after effects of the Oscars are the knock-off gowns made by Allen Schwartz for ABS. Schwartz manages to take these extremely expensive gowns and make them with cheaper material but all things considered they come out pretty close to the real thing.
Here are my picks for the top dresses that should be knocked off if you will.
1. Sasha Cohen (Olympic Silver Medalist) in a dress by a talented and skilled designer that is currently unknown.
2. Salma Hayek in Atelier Versace
3. Felicity Huffman in Zack Posen
4. Diane Kruger in Elie Saab
5. Sandra Bullock in Angel Sanchez

I do have to comment however that there were more fashion mishaps this year then ever before. It can be seen in the lack of color and ill-fitting dresses at the show.
