CATCHING OSCAR FEVER

Posted Feb 28 2011 @ 10:47 PM

Getting in the Oscar spirit, Hayden Panettiere heads out to Harvey Weinstein and Dior's pre-Oscar dinner at Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles on February 23. Hayden reverted back to her penchant for super short strapless dresses, selecting a fiery red mini with an organza ruffled front (check out Bailey 44's NY Dolls Dress in Crimson or Voom by Joy Han's Samantha Babydoll in Red for similar embellished options) topped with a tuxedo jacket (like Tart's Marquis Jacket in Black) and a pair of strappy peeptoe booties (similar to Loeffler Randall's Parker in Black). HP carried a tan clutch to neutralize the look (check out Jalda's Fabric Kona in Bronze), wearing her hair pulled back in two crown braids. What do you think of Hayden's fine dining attire, is it appropriate or would you have gone with a longer hem? Hayden looked a little frazzled as she made her way out of the bash on her cell phone, but then again it was the end of what had to be a very long day for her. Before getting ready for the big dinner, Hayden headed out for a bizarre lunch in Venice Beach, where she got a big wet smooch from not only a huge pooch passing by but also one of the infamous speedo wearing performers on the boardwalk. Check out the hilarious photos at the link above - just another day in Venice, right?
