the world according to sherimaven

Good afternoon, Monday. I'm a bit hungover and it's cold out and I have a million irons in a million fires and I'm a tired girl and it's only MONDAY. OY.

Since many of you were following my Oscar feed on Facebook last night, I don't have much more to say than I've already said. Lupita, Lupita, Lupita. Done and done. A complete vision. Obsessed.

Also Julianne Moore did not disappoint in custom Chanel, and Margot Robbie looked absolutely divine in black Saint Laurent with that bob, that red lip, and those jewels. Naomi Watts in Armani was a real go for it fashion moment that paid off in spades for me, and Faith Hill's long sleeved low cut gorgeousness was highlighted by that fabulous cropped hair.  

Ooh and also Marion Cotillard in that Dior was so high fashion and amazing- many did not "get it" but I sure did. Oui. And oui. Fab. I love that many of the looks last night were real fashion statements- lovely.

And Cate Blanchett in that raw sleeve Margiela and turquoise neckpiece was amazing. She's beyond. Really not a ton of misses on that carpet, but the show as a while was a snoozefest. I had so much fun watching it with my friends, but it was really boring. I care not if Lady Gaga and Julie Andrews reunited- I'm tired of her singing standards and classics and preferred her doing new music, even if it was poppy and silly. I just don't care about her and that's the truth. Next.

One thing I'll say for sure- it was a wonderful night to be a woman- from all of those gorgeous gowns to a less made up face and natural hair, I'd say the power of beauty was on full display. And then one of my favorites, Patricia Arquette got up for her well deserved award and took the opportunity to speak about equal rights and equal pay, and then Meryl (who looked divine in Lanvin) raised the roof in her honor. I loved it. Best moment of the night for me.

Regardless, I felt pleased at how many women looked so very beautiful, while Neil Patrick Howser was desperate enough to strip down to his drawers, the Birdman could not stop his incessant gum chewing, and Travolta was revolta- his creepy Idina Menzel face touching, not to mention his weird handling of cyber mermaid Scar Jo (people loved that dress in my house, but I did not- her body is fab though). Get it together, gentlemen. With the exception of the Brits and John Legend and Common and the touchingly sensitive Chris Pratt and David Oyelowo, I wanted more power moments from all of the beautiful ladies- and special shout out to Teegan and Sara for being adorable. That is all.

So really for me- Lupita was everything- that skin, that hair, that dress. She was my favorite, with Naomi Watts, Julianne Moore, and Margot Robbie not far behind. But please, can we just get rid of the E! Channel's idiotic reporting? Should I really listen to fashion advice from an unappealing woman in a purple mohawk, the tackiest Kardashian, an anorexic, and an overly spray tanned blonde with terrible hair extensions and a prom dress? Enough.

I guess that's all I have for now because I'm busy and need to work the rest of the day- thanks to all of you who read my incessant posts last night- what  a ball I had watching the red carpet- too bad the show was such a yawn.

Cause that's what's up this post Oscar roundup in the 718. Yours, in gold statues and great style. XO
