Kate Hudson in Atelier Versace at the Oscars: one of the best looks of the night?

Kate Hudson really brought the drama in this Atelier Versace, right? She was one of the best people on the red carpet, and I thought her dress “walked” well on stage too – it was a 360 dress, good from every angle. It also doesn’t look like Versace to me, but perhaps Donatella made this especially for Kate. I mean, what else is there to say? She looked fantastic. Everything worked. Great hair, great makeup, her dress was the perfect combination of drama and flattering design. I guess the “caped” effect is maybe a throwback to Gwyneth Paltrow’s caped Tom Ford, but this Versace isn’t really a cape.

And here are some pics of Kate’s dress change for the after-parties. She wore Zuhair Murad, a designer favored by the likes of Jennifer Lopez. I could totally see this dress on J.Lo too, which makes me not like it so much on Kate. I kind of think she should have just stuck to the Versace for the after-parties. I should also note: Hudson did the Oscars without Matthew Bellamy. I think they’re over, you guys.

I think I saw Penelope Cruz on the red carpet last night, but maybe I was hallucinating, because I don’t remember her in this Giambattista Valli gown. Am I hallucinating? I’m a bit Oscar punch-drunk right now. Anyway, this is beautiful and it reminds me of Elizabeth Taylor. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if Penelope had consciously tried to channel Taylor. I don’t mind all of the fabric and I don’t mind the pink. My one qualm is the black belt and the bow, which isn’t really flattering and I think Valli could have achieved the same basic design in a better way. The black belt is also a bit too matchy with the clutch, so the effect is that she looks like a wrapped gift from Victoria’s Secret.
