This Sunday is one that I have been anticipating for, oh, the past 360 days. The Academy Awards are less than a week away, and red carpet chit-chat is at its peak. Celebrity entrances will make Sunday one of the biggest days for popular designers, whose dresses will hug the hips of Hollywood beauties at the show. Actresses will strut the big names, such as Versace and Valentino, and designers’ names will gleam in the spotlight after Monday’s best-dressed lists go public.
The event can promise that critics won’t shun heiress Paris onto the worst-dressed list. She was banned from the 2008 Oscars after she laid $4 million for her dress. It’s surprising, considering most designer gowns are delivered to Hollywood ladies with gift baskets. A few thousand dollars is a humble price to pay for designers to land Oscar red carpet publicity. Now if only we could all become wealthy enough to collect free, fancy gowns. Oh, the irony!
