Oscar Night, Washington Style
Monday, February 25, 2008
Oscar night red carpet looks! It happened in Hollywood and it happened here, at the Oscar Night party at Posh, benefiting the DC Chapter of the Red Cross. Men looked dapper in tuxedos (plus the one guy in a brown suede jacket -?!) and women wore everything from long sparkly gowns to short cocktail styles, and in general everyone looked really glamorous. I was a little underwhelmed by the looks on the “real” red carpet (Cameron, you couldn’t bother to do your hair?!), though a lot of ladies did look very beautiful. I loved ladies in red Katherine Heigl and Anne Hathaway as well as Hilary Swank, Penelope Cruz and Jennifer Garner). All of it pretty, but relatively safe.
Highlights from DC’s red carpet: having my picture taken with “Angelina Jolie,” the screaming “paparazzi” and “fans” asking for autographs installed along the red carpet entrance, Ebong Eka’s skinny tie look (above), Andrea Rodgers dripping in loaned diamonds from Mervis, the excuse to stare at everyone in attendance and talk fashion shop with friend (and fellow vintage lover) Roll Call columnist Emily Heil, endless sparkling wine and my one-shoulder tiered ruffle vintage dress from The Remix that I found the day before. So of course I was pleased to see so many one-shoulder gowns on the red carpet…
UPDATE: Check out the amazing photos photographer Joseph Allen just posted!

oooh! love your tiered dress! (i was at the remix on sunday and didn’t spot anything as fab as that…!)
I must say, I’m pretty disappointed by the DC “Red Carpet” … Most of the dresses are pretty uninspired. Eye-spy an abundance of recycled Greek semi-formal dresses.
I think you age in reverse. Seriously you just get more beautiful every year and the dress is pretty snazzy as well in a ravishing sort of way. (do people say snazzy anymore?) I hope everything else in your life is as lovely.
Also those Joseph Allen pics are pretty cool.
Who knew Phoebe Price was in DC? Nice of her to take time for a photo with you.
