After creating my first Oscars red carpet wish list I realized: 1) It was really fun, and 2) There are so many amazing gowns out there and Hollywood stylists aren't being pushy enough with their clients. Or are the actresses afraid of overly dramatic frocks and being subject to the red carpet critics? I think Jay Manuel and Debbie Matenopoulos don't know squat about who's wearing what on the red carpet. Don't listen to them, starlets, listen to me, and Giorgio Armani and Karl Lagerfeld and the Rodarte sisters. It's the Oscars, it's your time to shine, so shine brightly, as Cate would in this white frothy Armani Prive with streaming jeweled detailing.

There's lots more! To see my selections for America Ferrera, Marion Cotillard, Cameron Diaz, Diane Kruger and Katie Holmes , read more
(America: Blumarine Fall '08; Marion: Rodarte Fall '08; Cameron: Derek Lam Fall '08; Diane Kruger: Armani Prive Spring '08; Katie Holmes: Chanel Couture Spring '08)

















Oscar De La Renta
Uniqlo
Just Cavalli
The Rodarte you found for Marion is genius! Truly stunning, really.
1While these are cool they would all be on the owrst dressed list, most people don't wantt to see artistic creative gowns at the Oscars or anything that differs to much from the norm.
2No offence, but you picked some hideous choices!
3I liked some of them FAB!
But people would probably put them on the worst dress
list.
4debbie is annoying. i never listen to her, no one should!
5I looove the Bluamrine, it would be great in America.
6the diaz and the kruger one are great choices.
7I love the ones you chose for Cameron and Diane!
8Someone remind me why America Ferrera is going to be at the Oscars. I wasn't aware that Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was nominated.
9I'm with you fab....
10Cate would look great in that dress
11I agree with your choices for Cate and Marion. I think they could both pull the gowns off beautifully. I'm not sure about the rest. I really disagree with your choice for America. That gown demands a more statuesque lady.
12I love your choice for Cate! It would look so gorgeous on her
It's really her style
13Pretty great choices...
14I adore the Armani Prive dress for Cate Blanchett. The big flower at the shoulder will certainly distract from her tummy. Wonder when she's due? She looked big at SAG awards.
