What Might These Ladies Wear To The Oscars This Year? Here Are Their Past Oscar Looks!

Meg Malone — Sun, 24 Feb 2013 22:00:09 +0000

I am so beyond excited for the Oscars tonight. It is seriously the most exciting day of my year. I have shelled out an embarrassing amount of money at the movies during the last year in order to see as many as the performances as possible, and now it is time for me to see where my favorites stack up!

I love thinking about all the creative contributions and performances at the Oscars, but it’s hard to ignore the artistry of the red carpet. Fashion is an art in itself and it is always fascinating to see what people choose to wear on the red carpet. Over the years, artists have tried out all different styles and trends, so let’s take a look back at what every female acting nominee for this year wore to previous red carpets – then you can be on the look out for them later tonight!

Anne Hathaway, Best Supporting Actress

From the looks of these pics, Anne has stuck to whites and reds for her trips to the Academy Awards. From left to right, this is Anne in 2007, 2008, 2009, and finally, 2011. I don't think she'll keep this pattern and go with a white dress this year since she wore one to the Golden Globes, but who knows!

Amy Adams, Best Supporting Actress

Amy has really mixed up her style from year to year, so I'm excited to see what she pulls off for this go around. At left is her dress from her first Oscars in 2006, followed by her 2008 dress, her 2011 dress (which I think is my favorite), and finally her look from last year.

Naomi Watts, Best Actress

Naomi's past Oscar looks have included some soft colors. The photo from left is her at the 2006 ceremony, and then at right is her the following year. Do you think she'll stick with her own trend or bust out something brand new in 2013?

Sally Field, Best Supporting Actress

Sally Field already has two Oscars, both of which she won '80s. At left is what she wore when she won her first Oscar in 1980, and the one on the right is from her second win in 1985. Will she go with something bright like her first win or more classic like her second? Something totally different?

Helen Hunt, Best Supporting Actress

Helen actually already has an Oscar from when she won Best Actress in 1998. I love the color of that blue dress. At right, you can get a bit of a sense of what she wore to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party back in 2005. We're excited to see what she decides to wear now that she's headed back to the Oscar red carpet!

Jessica Chastain, Jacki Weaver & Jennifer Lawrence

Jessica and Jennifer are vying for a Best Actress win, and Jacki is up for Best Supporting Actress. All of them have already attended the Oscars (and been nominated!) once before. So what did they where for their first Oscar outing? Pictured here is Jessica at last year's ceremony, and Jacki and Jennifer from 2011. Do you think they'll go for totally different looks this time around?

Emmanuelle Riva & Quvenzhané Wallis, Best Actress

This is the first time Emmanuelle and Quvenzhané have been nominated, so while we don't have photos from their previous trips to the Oscars, these two talents have definitely been in the awards show spotlight within this past year. Here is Emmanuelle at the National Board of Reviews Gala and there is Quvenzhané at the Critics Choice Movie Awards. We're excited to see what they decide to wear to attend the Oscars as nominees (fun fact: they are the oldest and youngest Best Actress nominees in history!).

Eye Roll Scarlett Johansson Hates Being Sexy

Just a regular old ugly girl. | source: WENN.com

This bugs me soooooooo much. Scarlett Johansson recently said in an interview, “I don’t like being labelled as ‘the sexiest woman alive.’ [...]I never wanted to be a sex symbol. I wanted to be a character actor. [...]But I think women that are curvy can be pigeonholed in that bombshell thing.”

I feel so bad for you! Everyone thinks you’re gorgeous, how terrible. Wait no, everyone thinks you’re the “sexiest woman alive” that must be devastating–not! It would be one thing if Scarlett’s looks limited her career options, but they have not. She has played everything from goths, to nerds, to superheroes. She has won prestigious awards and is constantly praised for her talents and abilities. Yes, people say she is a total babe too.

It’s so annoying when “pretty girls” complain about being pretty as if somehow the implication that they look good means they’re dumb or just a trophy. Do smart girls assume that they’re not “pretty” because they’re smart? Well, this smart girl doesn’t!

Maybe people would stop associating beauty with stupidity if the women we label as exceptionally beautiful didn’t complain about it as if it were a negative term. Yes, women are constantly under scrutiny for their looks. Yes, it would be nice if how we looked weren’t always used as a scale to measure our value. However, relax, a compliment is still a compliment.

Is it so wrong that when we think of ScarJo we think about her talents AND her looks? It’s not as though looks aren’t important to her (they are important to everyone) she looks stunning in just about every picture. It wouldn’t be presumptuous to guess that she wants to look good on the red carpet. I mean, who wouldn’t? All we are saying is, “You do look good, girl.” But no, no, no: beautiful girls are dumb, so people must think I am dumb.

Not the most forward thinking. If feminism teaches us anything it’s that women can look any way they want and be anything they want. If women can’t think beyond “hot girl” stereotypes then we’ll never get passed other absurd stereotypes like: ugly girls are smart to compensate for not being beautiful.

ScarJo, if we can accept that you’ve got the “boobs” and the “brains”, I think you can too.

Do you think pretty girls get accused of being dumb? Let us know in the comments!
