British actress Lily Cole turned heads on the Oscar red carpet wearing a silver Vivienne Westwood gown made completely out of recycled plastic bottles. She accessorized the look with gold bracelets and rings and strappy gold heels, with a floral embellishments. She also rocked electric blue fingernails. The dress is a part of a project called Red Carpet Green Dress. The initiative, creating ethically made gowns, was spearheaded by director James Cameron and his wife, Suzy Amis Cameron. Do-goodery aside, I do like this dress. It’s a little edgy with the uneven hemline, the bodice is simple yet elegant and the silver shade complements Lily’s pale skin. I don’t know about pairing the dress with those gold shoes though (not to say I didn’t like the shoes, I am just not a mixed metallic kind of girl). Lily’s hair and makeup are on point as well.

Also hitting the red carpet in a sustainable gown was Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner. Sansa Stark herself, who spilled a major season 6 spoiler when talking to E!, turned heads in a gorgeous, figure-hugging pale green gown by Galvan (also part of the Red Carpet Green Dress project) with a slit showing off her legs and strappy silver heels by Christian Louboutin. She accessorized the simple, yet elegant gown with diamond and emerald drop earrings and subtle bling on her neck, wrist and finger, all from Tiffany & Co. Her hair was down, side swept with waves. The gown gave off an old school, Hollywood glam vibe, which matched the festivities perfectly. My only complaint was with the back of the gown. It looks like it’s not zipped all the way up, or that they had to make some last-minute alterations (the white fabric in the center of her back doesn’t gel with the rest of the gown). I do love that Lily and Sophie wore sustainable gowns and I admire the Red Carpet Green Dress initiative. I’m thinking we will see more of these gowns in the future.

Entertainment reporter Maria Menounous sparkled in a silver gown from Project Runway alum Christian Siriano. The designer collaborated on the custom design of the dress with Maria as part of of Stella Artois and Water.org’s “Buy a Lady a Drink” campaign, and the beaded design of the gown was meant to emulate glass-etched chalices. I am a big Christian fan and this gown is quite stunning. The beading is exquisite and the off-the-shoulder bodice and form fitting design are very flattering. Maria paired the gown with Jimmy Choo shoes and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry. The gown is going to be auctioned off for the “Buy a Lady a Drink” campaign. If I were Maria, I’d put a bid on it right now. It’s gorgeous. I am not crazy about her hair though. She was going for “textured waves with a beachy feel” but it looks more like “didn’t rinse out all of her conditioner.” I would have opted for an updo, but besides that, I love everything from the neck down.

E! correspondent Giuliana Rancic pulled off not one but 2 winning looks on the red carpet. She began the evening, covering arrivals for the network’s Countdown to the Red Carpet in an elegantly structured gold gown from Azzi & Osta, a picture of which she posted to her Twitter feed. I think this gown is lovely. I like the delicate lace mesh at the neck and this dress just screams “Oscar” to me (could be the color, but it’s just flat-out glam.) She accessorized the gown with Rene Caovilla shoes and Forevermark Diamonds jewelry. Giuliana had teased prior to the awards that she was going for a “softer look” and I think her makeup looks great and her updo works well with the gown.

Giulana then hit the red carpet herself in a form-fitting white crepe from Georges Chakra’s 2016 Spring Summer Couture Collection. From the front, it is nice, but doesn’t make much of a statement. The back, however, is a different story. I actually made an audible “Ooh!” when I saw the plunging back embellished with subtle pastel embroidery and the train. (I am a sucker for a nice train.) Giuliana strapped on another pair of Rene Caovilla shoes and Forevermark Diamonds provided her bracelet, rings and gorgeous bejeweled hoop earrings. My only complaint (and I’m sure it was due to some sort of product placement agreement) was the bulky black Limited Edition de Grisogono Samsung Galaxy Gear S2 watch she was sporting. It is kind of distracting. I guess if you’re a veteran of E!’s Fashion Police, you know what you need to wear to not get called out as a red carpet “don’t.” I definitely think both of these looks place Giuliana firmly in the “do” column.
