The Oscars
came and went in a flurry of star studded selfies, A-list outfits and spontaneous
pizza deliveries, but the biggest surprise came when Matthew McConnaughey
scooped the Oscar for best actor leaving nominee Leonardo DiCaprio empty
handed. From the best dressed attendees to 2014’s one to watch actresses, let’s
take a look at the award show's highlights.
Oscars Best Dressed
Emma Watson
has come a long way in the style stakes since the days of Harry Potter. Gone
are the adolescent curly locks and burgundy neck-ties of Hogwarts, these days
Emma prefers the demure, smart look. The 23 year old dazzled at the Oscars in
a glitzy Vera Wang dress, which accentuated her slender figure.
Model Ireland
Baldwin looked ravishing on the red carpet in a lacy Burberry dress with a
thigh high slit. The blonde bombshell stood tall at a height of 6 ft 2 and was
acting as a fashion reporter for television network Entertainment Tonight. She
was joined by fellow presenters Nancy O’Dell and Joe Zee.
On the Rise
Mia Wasikowsa is one to watch, the
Australian actress is currently making waves in the indie film circuit most
recently starring in Stoker, Only Lovers Left Alive and The Kids Are All Right.
They say the best actresses are constantly reinventing themselves and this is
certainly true of Wasikowsa who has transformed her look and acting direction
from film to film.
In psychological thriller Stoker,
Wasikowsa played a moody brunette teenager whereas in vampire-romance flick Only
Lovers Left Alive she became Eva, a century old vampire. With 4 upcoming films
set for release this year, 24 year old Wasikowsa is most definitely on the rise.
Nica’s Oscar Film
Favourites
American
Hustle is for fashionistas. Amy Adams stole the film’s style credentials with
an array of V-neck dresses in tantalising colours and textures, all of which evoked
the free-spirited essence of the 70’s. Jennifer Lawrence dazzled too, she was
styled in halter neck maxi dresses, fine fur and curly up-do’s. If just for the fashion alone, this was and still is a must watch!
Despite
losing out on 5 potential Oscars, The Wolf of Wall Street was the film that everyone
praised this season. Side splittingly funny, a little bit naughty and full of
lavish scenes which will make you do a double take, The Wolf of Wall Street is
a feel good snapshot of hedonism and living life to the full.
