I'm a kind of a Oscar trivia geek to the point of even reading the screenplays if I can. I'll also admit the one reason I watch the Oscars is to see all the fabulous gowns. Last night the celebs rocked the red carpet. While watching the awards I started sketching my favorite dresses.
Best Actress Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence rocked the Hollywood glam in her stunning blush Dior Haute Couture gown with the long Chopard necklace that cascaded down her back. The romantic dress was so impressive but the dress made it difficult to walk up the stairs to accept her award. Where were the handsome guys to escort her up the stairs? I'd like to see a man try to navigate stairs in a ball gown!
When I sat down to sketch last night, my first sketch was of Helen Hunt wearing the lovely navy silk satin strapless dress. Later I was surprised but delighted to find out the designer was H&M! So wonderful, don't you think.
I'll be back during the day updating this post with more sketches. Check back later :) Meanwhile, check out my sketches from the red carpet at the Golden Globes here and here.
