Going for gold.
With our eyes glued to our Mac screens, a Chardonnay in one hand (yes, at 9.30 am on a Monday), this year’s Academy Awards saw our minds drifting to place ourselves beside Justin Timberlake. Sorry, Jessica, mind sharing the limelight (and your man) a little?
Which brings us to the amazing gowns this year: Gold was a clear crowd favourite and, as luck would have, ours too.
From Janelle Monáe’s beaded work of Elie Saab art to Moana’s Auli’i Cravalho mermaid silhouette by Rubin Singer, the golden numbers stood our strong and shiny. Also giving the Oscar trophy itself a good run for its money were Emma Stone’s tassel-hemmed number, Dakota Johnson’s satin gown looked like it could easily belong on a goddess and Nicole Kidman’s pale gold Armani Privé dress that blended perfectly against her skintone.
