Oscar Dresses

Where can I find a dress that is similar to Anna Kendrick's Oscar gown? [picture!]? I fell in love with this dress & I'm hoping to find one like it for my prom later this year (I know it is very early for this, but I want to get the dress asap & be done with that whole thing!).I love the neckline & the blush color is so pretty, especially since I have very fair skin, darker hair, & blue eyes, so I think it would be a pretty combination.

Looking for beaded fabric. ? I'm looking for fabric that has bugle beads already sewn on it. Please don't answer that I can find it anywhere or in a cosmetic shop. The fabric is very hard to find and very expensive, but I'm willing to pay top dollar for what I need. Think of a red carpet Oscar gown like these: http://razzledazzlegowns.net/yahoo_site_admin/assets/images/SH9.41114644.jpg http://razzledazzlegowns.net/yahoo_site_admin/assets/images/SH6.41114453.jpg http://www.style.com/slideshows/2010/fashionshows/F2010RTW/MARCHESA/RUNWAY/00140m.jpg I'd like it in copper or bronze and would be willing to pay to have it imported.

Could you help me find this dress for prom? +BQ? Hi! My prom is in May, and I'm looking for a dress similar to the one that Hailee Steinfeld wore to the oscars. I love the color, the tea-length, the beading, ALL of it. However, I realize that I probably can't get my hands on a one-of-a-kind Marchesa gown. That's where you come in! I'm willing to bend on colors (I pretty much like them all), but the dress has to be the same silhouette as Hailee's, though I might go a bit shorter (just below my knees). Pictures are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! Here's a link to her dress: http://www.parentdish.com/2011/02/27/hailee-steinfeld-oscars-red-carpet/ BQ: What sort of hair/makeup/accessories should I wear? Links and pictures would be great! Thanks again!

I am so bad at writing I need help on this please! I need your advice? THE QUESTION IS........What do you expect from a college education? How will it help you reach your life and career goals?. I want someone to wear my gowns and make everyone’s head turn. I have always been drawn into Fashion Designing because I want to help someone feel good in what they are wearing. I know my talents have to be challenged to grow. Vera Wang is truly an inspiration, to get to that level of prestige and perfectionism is a life goal. Melissa Smart is a new favorite of mine too because she has the same taste I bring into my designs. My second designer I admire is Vera Wang because I want to get to that level of vision and prestige. If I’m accepted into The Art Institute of San Francisco I will not let anyone down. This degree help will work along side more people and it will also help me grow as a person. I have never been surer about anything in all of my life. Just a few months ago I watched an old clip of the Oscars on a website, youtube. When I saw them walk the red carpet I felt in awe. I felt in awe because it’s like watching a masterpiece come to life. Education is priceless and it's a hard thing to come by. I’m interested in this school because I know that this is the right place for me to learn how to become more independent, most importantly I will learn the fundamentals that makes a designer successful. I want to be able to create a couture gown not for fame but because it as always been my dream

Need help finding a prom dress? So I'm going to be looking for a prom dress over in Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, but I don't know where to go.

Which of these prom dresses? I've always bought cheap dresses from Ross and Marshalls for homecoming and winter ball the past few years of high school, and now that I'm of age my parents have opted to purchase my prom dress regardless of the price (though nothing ridiculous for their sake). I know it's pretty early to be prom shopping but I want to make a purchase before I'm FORCED to get a dress from Ross/Marshalls... Not that it's horrible to buy cheap dresses, but I want to look amazing for prom. :/ I have these few selected, going to share that I plan on wearing my hair down (my hair is red, also), I have light yellow-tinted skin (I'm Asian), I'm 5'10" and plan on wearing heels (my boyfriend is 6'4", so it's okay), am in between average and skinny, and I have a chest, if those were any concerns. Basically right now I'm torn between looking like a classy princess-red carpet thing or going for more of a devilish/sexy (but not trashy) look. Soooo, here are dresses and some light commentary. http://www.promgirl.com/shop/dresses/viewitem-PD592740 I really like this in the tannish color (the default one) but the material seems cheap and the dress seems like something I could find at Dillards. I like the rouched front, dislike the bottom hemline: I feel like it'd be stiff. http://www.promgirl.com/shop/dresses/viewitem-PD586441 Love the Sherri Hill dresses. This one's beautiful but feels a bit plain, and limited on colors. If I decided on this I wouldn't know which color to get... But I'm leaning toward blue. http://www.promgirl.com/shop/dresses/viewitem-PD638866 It's sparkly, but to me it puts off more of a glam vibe than tacky so I like it. But who knows, it could really just be super tacky in person. Maybe I just like it on the model. http://www.unique-vintage.com/preorder2011-faviana-prom-dresses-demi-moore-oscar-inspired-melon-ruffle-strapless-prom-gown-p-9768.html I showed this to a few friends and they said this is their favorite. I like it (in the pink/"melon") but don't know if it'd make me look wider, which layered/tiered dresses tend to do. But damn it's pretty. http://www.unique-vintage.com/terani-prom-silver-waterfall-long-evening-gown-size-p-8266.html This was favorite #2 among my friends; it's very mature and classy, and moderately sexy with that leg slit thing. I'm not too sold on the material though. http://www.unique-vintage.com/dusty-rose-raja-ombre-silk-chiffon-prom-dress-p-7141.html Reminds me of that pink/blue dress from earlier, though I wish this one were longer and I guess thicker-seeming? Well I dunno. I think the ombre looks good though. http://www.promgirl.com/shop/dresses/viewitem-PD637236 This is lovely, except for the price tag. I have a feeling it's a little too extravagant for my school's prom though. But it's so sparkly... http://www.promgirl.com/shop/dresses/viewitem-PD398214 In the turquoise-gold (the default one). Reminds me of a mermaid. A Hollywood mermaid. Pick your favorite. Or just screw picking and show me an awesome dress similar to those.

How are you doing with the Roman Polanski "mistake" thing today? Originally published 04:45 a.m., October 1, 2009, updated 08:51 a.m., October 1, 2009 Polanski Case Sparks Noisy Culture Debate Jennifer Harper The crime is more than three decades old, but the battle has just begun. The rekindled legal case of film director Roman Polanski has set off a noisy culture war, pitting Hollywood values against traditional American decency, feminists, international officials and the proverbial long arm of law. "He's a criminal. He is a convicted criminal pedophile," said Terry O'Neill, president of the National Organization for Women. "I'm not in the middle here. How dare Roman Polanski think he could get away with this? I believe he has banked on men - powerful decision makers - who are more intent on protecting rapists than children. This is the world Polanski is exploiting. It's outrageous." The controversy has even reached the White House. Asked by a reporter Wednesday whether President Obama was considering a pardon for the longtime fugitive, press secretary Robert Gibbs said, "I don't know of any pending pardon request." He quickly added, "The president believes pedophiles should be prosecuted." But many in the international creative community have raced to defend one of their own. An army of prominent film artists, European apologists and liberal heavyweights has mustered to defend the Oscar-winning filmmaker, indicted in 1977 in the drugging and rape of a 13-year-old girl and finally arrested in Switzerland on Saturday. Now 76 and a French citizen, Polanski sits in a Swiss jail awaiting extradition to the U.S. as sympathizers cast him in the role of martyr. "We have learned the astonishing news of Roman Polanski's arrest by the Swiss police on September 26th, upon arrival in Zurich, while on his way to a film festival where he was due to receive an award for his career in filmmaking," stated a public petition signed by Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese, David Lynch, John Landis, Debra Winger and 140 other artistic luminaries. "The arrest of Roman Polanski in a neutral country, where he assumed he could travel without hindrance, ... opens the way for actions of which no one can know the effects," the petition said. Outspoken celebrities have been caught up in their own skirmishes as the Polanski case has escalated. Comedian and actress Whoopi Goldberg - who remarked on ABC's "The View" that the incident was not " 'rape' rape" - now has her own critics. "Just for the record, rape is rape. This is one Hollywood star who does not celebrate or defend Roman Polanski. His art did not rape her," countered actress Kirstie Alley in a Twitter message to her fans. A second pro-Polanski petition - this one signed by novelist Salman Rushdie and director Mike Nichols, among many others - demands: "We ask the Swiss courts to free Polanski immediately and not to turn this ingenious filmmaker into a martyr of a politico-legal imbroglio that is unworthy of two democracies like Switzerland and the United States." "We should have been celebrating the arrest of Osama bin Laden and not the arrest of Polanski," actor Peter Fonda said Wednesday. "He is not responsible for killing anyone." Like many of his fellow thespian supporters, Mr. Fonda noted that Polanski's young victim, Samantha Geimer, - now 43 and a mother of three - has asked that the case be dismissed and even attended the recent premiere of a sympathetic documentary about Polanski, posing in a black formal gown for photographers on the red-carpeted walkway. Many of the Hollywood set also point out that Polanski is the "doting father" of two minor children. The French government, which initially expressed outrage over the arrest, has since adopted a more neutral line. "Roman Polanski is neither above nor beneath the law," government spokesman Luc Chatel said at a press conference on Wednesday. "We have a judicial procedure under way, for a serious affair, the rape of a minor, on which the American and Swiss legal systems are doing their job. One can understand the emotion that this belated arrest, more than 30 years after the incident, and the method of the arrest, have caused," Mr. Chatel said. After the 1977 crime, Polanski was charged with giving a controlled substance to a minor, committing a lewd or lascivious act upon a child under 14, unlawful sexual intercourse, rape, perversion and sodomy. He pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful sexual intercourse and spent 42 days in jail. Reportedly fearing that the California judge would not honor a plea-bargain deal he had struck with prosecutors over the length of his jail term, Polanski jumped bail, fled the country and settled in Europe before he could be sentenced. The case has remained in judicial limbo ever since. A growing number of critics do not appear ready to forgive Polanski.

how's this scene? is it over stylized/glossy? The Vanity Fair Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art was one of the most important social events on the New York society calendar. Dubbed the party of the year, the guest list drew an international crowd of fashionistas and Hollywood A-listers. "One more picture Ms. Benner?" "And can we get your super hot boyfriend in it too?" Soon to be ex boyfriend, if he was ever my boyfriend in the first place. She kept that part to herself and sidled up to Abel on the top of the red carpeted steps and struck a paparazzi friendly pose. "Oh man, check out Anna Wintour" Abel observed the Vogue editor decked in a shimmering silver cyber couture Chanel gown modeled after X-Men's Storm, which Selisi thought was cool until the next day when the press and the fashion tabloids had nominated it to be the fashion faux pas of the year. Superheroes: Fashion & Fantasy was the theme of the event and everywhere, guests and décor alike were playing tune to it. Gigantic foam statues of superheroes lined the steps leading to the Met where Stella McCartney mingled with Katie Holmes, who looked a hot mess in a strapless red Giorgio Armani number. Tom Cruise wasn't far off. Inside the Met, dramatic green and blue lighting illuminated the enormous Nathan Crawley statues of Batman and uniformed waiters whizzed around serving exotic sounding cocktails to couture clad glitterati air kissing other couture clad glitterati. Mwah! Mwah! It wasn't for no reason that the gala was known as the Oscars of the East Coast and today, all the superstars had turned the Met into a galaxy of glamour, ready to party the night away, for a good cause obviously. Zoe, Queenie and Emmery had made a grand entrance at the other side of the room, all three dressed in identical hot pink Catwoman suits with matching hot pink heels. "Lisi!" They blew kisses across the room as soon as they spotted her. She waved back unenthusiastically, still pretty peeved at them for abandoning her at The Red Pen Alert! to party with the killers in the VIP room at Bungalow 8. "Ah! Ms. Benner! Bellisimo as always!" It was Giorgio Armani himself, the honorary chairman of the gala. "And you Mr. Rosenberg! Send me a copy of your next cd. I might want to play it at Fashion Week" "Really?! Oh wow! I mean…great! That'd be fantastic!" Abel was stumped. Selisi was stumped too. But for other reasons. How can i make the conversation more smooth flowing?
