Last night was the most glamorous night of the year, not only in Hollywood but also in the whole world. Or, at least, it used to be.

 

Last night was the 91st Academy Awards, better known as the Oscars, and the top actors, actresses, and celebrities, in general, walked the top red carpet with their “best” gowns. And I say “best” in quotation marks because, lately, the highest-paid and most beautiful because of that people in the world are taking it too simple, discreet and low key, in my opinion. If I had the chance to attend this gala and put on a designer dress with jewelry worth my whole life OMG you know I would be as extra as I could be, always with class, style, and elegance, of course.

 

I will only talk about my favorite looks. I do not like to criticize someone for wearing something I personally do not like; everybody (and stylist) can have bad days (although we should all agree that there are some looks that have no clue, like: how come did you dare to get out of your house with that?).

 

Let’s start with the star of the night, and of every award gala this year so far: LADY GAGA. There was a lot of expectation about what she was going to wear. Having way passed her I put on everything I can phase, some people were still expecting to see her wearing an extravagant touch to her look (like the slightly blue hair in the Golden Globes). But she did not make them happy. She chose not one but two all-black sober dresses that make a statement: I, Lady Gaga, am a real actress and artist and I take this very seriously. She walked the red carpet with an Alexander McQueen dress that had this wide hips silhouette structured, paired with long leather gloves (unnecessary for me). She changed her dress when she sang Shallow with Bradley (shout out to the fact that we will never get over this surreal romantic moment – best of the night) and went up to stage to receive the award for best original song for Shallow again. Lady Gaga chose a Brandon Maxwell all-black princess gown that was even more beautiful than the first. She looked like the powerful badass queen she is while also looking sweet, delicate and gorgeous. So two very similar (personally I would have chosen something more different) but right choices, although a little too simple and plain.

 

However, let’s not forget that, actually, Lady Gaga did wear something quite extra in her outfit: a 128-carat yellow Tiffany Diamond on her neck that completed the look. It was extra, not only for its surreal value, but also because had only been worn by two other women in its 142 years of history: first by Sheldon Whitehouse, at the 1957 Tiffany Ball, and then by the great Audrey Hepburn, for promotional photographs for Breakfast at Tiffany’s in 1961.
