And So It Begins: Oscar Nominee Luncheon Puts Stars On Trial

The 82nd annual Academy Awards Nominee Luncheon at the Beverly Hilton Hotel is a less-formal, daytime event. But as nominated actresses Meryl, Gabourey, Sandra, Maggie and more showed, it is not without its own unique challenges…sartorially-speaking.

“Hm, she had a strong resume, but her suit was kind of bizarre…”

Vera Farmiga, as usual, does femme fatale.

Is Maggie Gyllenhaal‘s frock a tad 1979 back-yard-wedding? Yes, and I love it.

How can all the components look crummy on their own and so pulled-together as an ensemble? That’s the magic of Meryl…

You can hardly blame a gal for doing flats when she’s hitting the red carpet on a daily basis.

Anna Kendrick‘s mummy-styled frock begs a horrible embalming pun that I neither can think of nor want to think of.

Dig Carey Mulligan‘s golden hair – but then, she makes pretty much everything – including this Prada dress – look adorable and effortless.
