We’re done with our red carpet Oscar coverage and we’re moving on to the parties. We’ll have photos from the Vanity Fair Oscar Party coming up shortly! I’d like to talk about some of the people at Elton John’s Oscar Party, especially Britney Spears. She looks so different as a brunette, doesn’t she? Britney really changed gears with her styling and she looks thrilled about it. Look at her, the old Britney is almost back, bitches! I’m not even sure I can get used to her as a brunette, but this look is still worlds apart from the blonde hair and heavy black eyeliner she usually sports. What color is her hair now, a kind of honey brown? It’s obvious that a lot of it is fake, but it suits her. Her makeup is too orange but that’s a minor complaint.
Britney’s dress is Michael Cinco Couture. It’s not bad. The deep v-neck is a little much and I don’t like those shoulder pads (No one except Jane Fonda can pull off shoulder pads). It fits well and is flattering, though. I’m impressed. Oh I should mention that there are rumors that Britney’s Vegas deal isn’t going to come to fruition because she never sings live. Those stories don’t ring true for me, because wouldn’t that be a given going into those talks?
Nicole Richie was also sporting a deep v-neck in a loose white dress with black geometric accents. I don’t have a designer ID on it yet but this is similar to Nicole’s past looks – very loose, a little 70s. From the front it’s not bad, but from the side you can see the entire outline of her implant. Not good, cover it up a little. It was nice that her husband Joel Madden came with her, they’ve lasted for a long time and still seem loved-up.
My girl Nina Dobrev hasn’t been hitting the right fashion notes lately and that makes me sad. Here she is in this bold black and white brocade print gown that fits her like a freaking glove but just looks too busy to me. As always her styling is impeccable. Nina was there with her boyfriend, Ian Somerhalder, but they didn’t get all pose-y together.
Also there we have the lovely and talented Emmy Rossum, looking way too twee in this Catherine Deane white and silver gown. On its own, with different styling, this dress could work. It’s actually contemporary and striking when you look at the details of the dress. It’s of course Emmy’s styling that’s throwing it off. Her giant drop earrings and that big tiara-like hair headband look ridiculous together.
It’s too bad that Emmy’s movie Beautiful Creatures didn’t take off at the box office. It looked poised to be another Twilight, but I don’t think it got enough promotion.

Yeah, too bad that tomorrow we will get some photos of her wearing dirty pajama. BTW she has dark hair. Again. Bad omen?

I agree and think she looks great. She looks younger and healthier. Some people look better as blondes (Charlize Theron, Brooklyn Dekker) but Britney is not one of them and I think this is closer to her natural color anyway.

Yes, Brittney is a natural brunette. I think she looks great. Hope she is happy.
Emmy looks like she’s having a double wedding with Katniss Everdeen. Yuck.
Nina looks fabulous, but I just don’t like print dresses.

Just the other day I thought she should go back to brunette. Awesome. But I feel like she could have fluffed it up a bit. It looked flat.

I didn’t realize she was a natural brunette. Makes sense because the darker hair much more suits her skin coloring.

Oh no! I don’t want to be a bummer here, but in the past, whenever Britney would die her hair dark, she was going through troubling times. Same with going out to be photographed wearing questionable attire. So both have been happening since her breakup with Jason Trawick. Am I looking too deep into this? I hope Britney’s okay. Will always love her
.
P.S. She actuallys looks FANTASTIC here, so I’m not too worried now.

I was JUST about to write the same thing! Dark hair does not bode well for Britney — in the historical sense. I just hope she doesn’t start talking with a fake British accent…

I think we should start being worried if she starts wearing the pink wig again, and talking in the British accent.
I agree that she looks good here but she should have covered her chest a little more, she has a lot of sun damage there.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
@berry, I noticed her chest too. A few IPL treatments would take care of that or a bit of body make up. If she had a better makeup artist, the sun damage and acne scarring on her face wouldn’t be as noticeable.

@little star, It’s intense pulsed light. I’ve had 2 treatments and it drastically improved my skin tone. It evens skin tone, helps blue veins, age spots, improved wrinkles, acne scarring etc. It also improves collagen production. Here’s a link if you want to know more about it. (Don’t let the link title fool you, it is aesthetic, but it’s not plastic surgery. There is no down time and it’s very safe and effective).

I like the brown. It might not be the exact right shade for her, but I like it. It’s relatively similar to my natural hair color; which is a pain.
I’m stuck somewhere in this weird mousey medium brown color… I’ve had my friend who’s a hairdresser do a lot of different demi dyes on it to give it more dimension, which really helps. It looks a lot better with more red tones in it. I think maybe Brit would look better with more richness to hers as well.

Emmy Rossum…WTF? TERRIBLE.
Britney looks orange and I wish she would chill with the extensions and give her hair a break.
I love Nicole Richie’s style-she looks so good with caramel/honey-colored hair. It really compliments her skin tone and eye color.

What you said. As for Britney chilling on the weaves, wish she’d chill on her entire appearance. Just tone it down, mature herself a bit. I don’t see her or her look evolving even remotely.

I love Nina’s dress. She looks gorgeous. As usual.
Emmy would look much better if she ditched that ugly, cheap looking diadem. It looks like something she bought at Claires. The dress isn’t bad.
CB, I saw Beautiful Creatures. Emmy was stunning in it. But it wasn’t a great movie. Of course, Twilight wasn’t a great movie either. Far from it. But it already had a huge fan base going into the films. I had never even heard of Beautiful Creatures before I saw the preview. And after I watched the movie, I downloaded the book… I have no idea why they thought this was a film worthy book.

The 15 year-old who babysat my son last night told me that she had seen it and she loved it. She’d also red the books ahead of time, and her mom saw the movie too and liked it. I hadn’t heard of the books prior to that but I thought they might have been popular with that age group. I guess not.

Emmy was a great Ridley but that movie was a mess. I read the book first & was pretty disappointed in the movie. To me it was not a great adaptation.

Britney looks great! Her darker hairdo reminds me of better days when she was a brunette with blonde highlights. I believe she is a natural brunette. I was so over her bleached blonde hair. She was ruining her hair and it looked awful on her. This looks so much better. Hope she remains a brunette through 2013.

If that’s her new hair color then she needs a new skin color to go with it. That is one freckly uneven looking chest region.
Brit has good basic material to work with (body, face, hair) but she rarely brings it these days. The clothes – causal or dressy – are ill-fitting and unflattering. Bra therapy is needed. She REALLY needs a good stylist.

….actually, the more I look at it, the more I hate it.
She’s good as a blonde – it’s one of her best features. They need to return to the original hair color and work on the clothes.

She would look great with that hair cut and her current hair color. She just needs to stop the orangy look. Is it makeup? Fake tanning?

Yes! I totally agree. This woman is in need of an updated look.

I like her darker hair, although an actual hair cut (weave cut?) would have been nice. She needs a more adult style. I don’t care for the spray tan and the dress is just so-so. She never looks comfortable in her skin, and her stylist never quite nails it.

Maybe it’s the style and not the color, but I don’t think this hair is flattering on Britney at all. Actually, her overly tan face does not work with the new color, I believe. Not enough contrast or something for my taste.

Thoughts:
I love Britney — but she has a way of making anything she wears look cheap. I wish she would ditch the spray tan.
Also, WTF with Emmy Rossum’s tiara? Tiaras are so hard to pull off. Unless you’re ACTUAL royalty, it’s dangerous fashion territory.
I think Nicole Ritchie looks great. Happy to see she and her husband are still going strong.

The hair is quieter and classy for her therefore it is better. The condition looks better that the blonde straw head she is usually sports.

Well, to me Britney LOOKS GREAT! Going brunette suits her b/c that bleached blond crap was just getting embarrassing. It aged her terribly. So this look is super progress and I hope she sticks with it. She looks younger and more natural. There’s something funny going on with the tan on her face and she’s still got wierd eye make up, but still, overall, she looks fantastic and her eyes look way more alive than they have in a long time. Yay Britney.
I think Nina looks fantastic as well and I really like that dress, on its own and on her.
I couldn’t care any less about Ritchie.

I really like Britney’s hair color. Her make up is another story though. The foundation color is all wrong, does not match her skin tone, and it looks like one of her little sons applied it for her. Can’t she afford to hire a professional to do her make up when she goes out to a big event?

Nina is killing it! But the blush on her is aging. Emmy looks like she wore her shower curtain and and another curtain on top of it…horrible. Britney has on one of those 3/4 wigs I think… It’s a good one tho. I like her with that color length, looks good. She needs to stop tanning. Britney would look great if she did update her look. Maybe get some serious skin rehab shape define those eyebrows and try softer eye makeup. All in all I think Nicole looks the best. She always does. Just so amazing always edgy fashion forward but never looks like she’s trying hard.
