ELEGANT IN ELIE SAAB

Posted Feb 26 2009 @ 02:52 PM

Ahh, Oscar time! The wait is over for fashionistas worldwide who’ve been eagerly anticipating which designers would made it to the red carpet at the 81st Annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles on February 22. Though she was inclined to go with her signature dreary black color, Angelina Jolie did not disappoint in this stunning Elie Saab gown. From the curvy strapless silhouette to the sheer, draped train adding a little sexiness to the full length look, Angie is breathtakingly gorgeous with her hair pulled back and flawless décolleté exposed. If you love the classic black strapless look, check out options like Vena Cava’s Tube Dress in Black or Ingwa Melero’s Charmeuse Sofia Dress in Black. And then there are the emeralds by Lorraine Schwartz – the sparkling teardrop gems are sensational against Angie’s fair skin, and the gaudy emerald cocktail ring adds a decadent finishing touch (add sparkle to your ‘fit without breaking the bank with picks like Danielle Stevens’ Hoops with Gem Dangle in Emerald with matching Pearl Bracelet with Emerald Gem in Gold). Ang polished off her look with Ferragamo heels and a petite black clutch by Lana Marks (try Antoinette Lee’s versatile Dolcita Clutch in Black for carrying all of your essentials). What do you think of the overall look? Unfortunately, neither half of Brangelina took home an award, but you can bet they’re drowning their sorrows in 10 lbs of chocolate together. That’s right, 10 lbs of chocolate: Brad is now the sinful recipient of a sculpted solid dark chocolate bust in his likeness. The bust is a gift from AXE promoting their new Dark Temptation deodorant spray, sent with the ridiculously cheesy message: "We still feel your performance deserves a statue - one that's a bit sweeter." How delicious does a piece of that action sound?
