ROMANE BOUGIE: 2014 OSCARS REVIEW

So last evening brought with it The 86th Annual Academy Awards and it was quite the ball. With fashion queens and kings walking the most prestigious red carpet Romane Bougie caught a few eye popping moments as well as a few hits and misses. 

For this years show, I noticed a lot of black, a lot of champagne colors and sheer were some of the evening's top trends. While Ellen Degeneres doing hosting duties and capturing a selfie that has amassed over 2 million retweets, lets just say this years festivities was the best in recent years. And with reports that the show brought in top ratings in years, I think Ellen should be on the look out for a callback when the 87th staging of the show gets here in 2015. 

Ok, back to the fashion, with some of the fashion principals prevailing, some fell short. And if Lupita Nyong'o light blue Prada dress didn't make her the belle of the ball, I think her win for Best Supporting Actress did. The ladies weren't the only fashionable ones as the males were not to be outdone. Tuxedos! Tuxedos! Tuxedos! 

Flip open the envelope to see RB's Best and Worst style moments of The Oscars...

Everyone knew that Hollywood's newest "it" girl Lupita Nyong'o would bring it but many didn't know which lucky designer would get to dress the belle of the ball.  Ofcourse Prada got the honors and her light blue creation complemented her to-die for skin tone as well as her 2 trophies. Grade A

Red carpet queen Angelina Jolie arrived in this Elie Saab sheer gown and while in the past she's shown why she's queen, her Saab creation was far from her best. Grade C

Anne Hathaway's head to toe Gucci was a little too safe. Almost boring.  Grade C

Best Actress winner Cate Blanchett stunned in a nude Armani Privé gown which features sequins and crystals. Grade A

Channing Tatum and wife Jenna might have been the best looking couple on the carpet. She's wearing Reem Acra and of course he's styling in his tux. Grade B+

Black is not a color that usually wins at the Oscars but this number by Charlize Theron gave her gold medal honors. Again minimal jewelry. Grade A

Kate Hudson's Atelier Versace gown was the talk of the town. Low cut, beaded. Flawless. Grade A+ 

Best Supporting Actor Jared Leto didn't opt for the traditional black tux, instead he paired his black pants with a off white jacket and a burgundy bow tie. Grade B+

Again, Navy is the color I wish was big on this year's carpet. Amy Adam's Gucci sapphire gown with subtle train was simply stunning. Grade A

A very pregnant Kerry Washington was styled in Jason Wu that didn't really struck the right note for me. Grade B-

Leonardo Dicaprio in midnight blue Giorgio Armani tuxedo. Grade B

The always beautiful Jennifer Garner donned a silver tulle fringed gown by Oscar de la Renta with matching clutch. Grade B

The night's worst dressed couple was Pharell and his wife. I don't care if you're the Prince of Wales, wearing a pair of shorts to the biggest ball in Hollywood is UNACCEPTABLE. Grade D

Jessica Biel opted fora sheer pale Chanel gown. Grade B

Not sure what I hate more, the hair or the dress. Grade C

Kelly Osbourne got it right this time but her hair still remains a question without answers. Grade B+

Wife of the host Ellen Degeneres, Portia de Rossi was simply breathtaking in Naeem Khan. Grade B+

I'm convinced there was a waiting truck ready to take Liza Minelli to the petting zoo. Grade D

My favorite tux of the night was this Givenchy tux worn by Michael B Jordan. Check out that metallic shoe. Grade B

Will and Jada in Versace. Grade B

Ball King and Queen Brangelina. 

How can you not love Jennifer Lawrence in this fitted Christian Dior gown. Grade A

You can never go wrong with Navy blue and Best Actress nominee Sandra Bullock showed up and showed out in this Alexander McQueen creation. The dress accentuated her curves and she kept it minimal with jewelry. Grade A
