One Bad And One Good Oscar Dresser

Både Anne Hathaway og Jennifer Lawrence vandt en Oscar statuette i går, men de gjorde det ikke lige godt på den røde løber. Oscaraftenen er der hvor stjernerne virkelig kan give den gas og være total over-the-top i de vildeste couture kjoler – kan I huske Zoe Saldana i den lilla Givenchy kjole?
