Everyone knows the afterparty is way cooler than the actual party, which is why the Vanity Fair Oscars party is always the place to be. Not only do the winners and losers get to mingle, all of the people who weren’t invited to the ceremony get to dress up too!
Hathaway, styled by Rachel Zoe, pulled off look after look with ease, seeming as comfortable in a heavy strapless gown as a tux.
With her wide smile, harlequin eyes and infectious enthusiasm, she sort of reminded us of a student council president or head cheerleader, if that girl had access to the best closet around.
On the red carpet: The actress arrived on the red carpet in a scarlet Valentino archival gown with matching red lips and nails.
The opening segments: The "Love & Other Drugs" star slipped into an embroidered ivory princess gown from Givenchy Haute Couture.
With co-host James Franco in drag: The Jersey girl added custom Brian Atwood pumps to her Lanvin tux.
The Hollywood princess: Hathaway looked like she walked out of a fairy tale in a gray Vivienne Westwood corseted couture gown with embroidered lace and sequins that was custom-made for her.
The Oscars climax: Hathaway shimmied in a disco-style gold fringed gown by Oscar de la Renta and looked electric in an off-the-shoulder cobalt custom satin dress from Armani Privé Couture. And we adored the strapless burgundy beaded gown from Atelier Versace.
Finale with children's choir: Ending on a high note, she wore a Tom Ford gunmetal lace and crystal long-sleeve gown.
And don't even get us started on the hair.
It seems like Anne Hathaway can do no wrong, but she actually isn't good at everything. Watch our partner video below to find out some of Anne's flaws.
Expensive HOOKAh smellin..is this really what women need?
Lady Gaga’s perfume will indeed smell — or at least evoke the smell — of semen and blood. The Fame Monster confirmed rumors of her body fluid-inspired scent to Australian radio hosts Kyle and Jackie O, saying, “I wanted to extract the feeling and sense of blood and semen from molecular structures.” Wait, what? Gaga explained:
“[Blood and semen] is in the perfume but it doesn’t smell like it. You just get sort of the after feeling of sex from the semen and the blood is sort of primal. And the blood was taking from my own blood sample so its like a sense of having me on your skin.”
But overall, she says, it will smell “like an expensive hooker.” No word on where the semen sample came from, though.
The British designer - an alleged Jew hater - then tells a horrified woman: "People like you would be dead. Your mothers, your forefathers, would all be f****** gassed."
His tirade was videoed by a friend of the people he was insulting - who were French and Italian, but not Jewish.Galliano, 50, was at the same Paris bar where he allegedly launched a vicious verbal attack on two people last week - which led to him being arrested and suspended by fashion label Christian Dior.After stating he loves Hitler and making the gassing remark, a woman is heard to say, 'Oh my God' before asking slurring Galliano if he had a problem.He said: "With you. You're ugly." Asked where he was from, he said: "Your a***hole."
Halle Berry Both Halle Berry and Marchesa are already known for hitting red carpet home runs on the regular, but when you put the two together, you get a slam dunk. Berry's frothy champagne number looked delightful and the detailing on the train was exceptional.
Hailee Steinfeld Hailee Steinfeld's ballerina pink, princess gown she co-designed with Marchesa's Georgina Chapman was exactly the right dress for a 14-year-old Oscar nominee: it was pretty, perfectly age appropriate, and ideally accessorized. This look is, quite literally, what dreams are made of
Mila Kunis Embracing one of Sunday night's biggest trends, Mila Kunis walked the Oscar red carpet in a lace-y lilac design by Elie Saab. While the color initially felt like a bit of a tough sell, the detailing and impeccable styling made this one a clear winner.
Cate Blanchett In a sea of pretty, if seriously snoozeworthy gowns, Cate Blanchett's pale purple number by Givenchy Couture was a veritable work of art
Beautiful! Gwyneth and Calvin can do no wrong. Gwyneth Paltrow definitely has her haters, but remember Shakespeare in Love? Or Emma? Vintage Gwynnie ruled! As such, we’re glad her Oscars outfit felt like a bit of throwback.The actress went minimal in a shiny champagne Calvin Klein column dress with a geometric neckline. She spiced up the ensemble with a multicolored Louis Vuitton brooch on her hip (which we could do without) and coordinating earrings (which we found extremely rad). We couldn’t get a look at her shoes (long dresses make it hard!), but they are apparently Brian Atwood gold leather pumps.
Dita Von Teese has announced via Twitter that she is developing her own fragrance, and her description of the smell is kind of silly!Because first there was this:
"Isolated at a chateau in the French countryside w/my perfumers. “No fruit, no vanilla, no candy!! Velvet sensuality w/a dash of vulgarity!”
Yes, velvet sensuality with a dash of vulgarity. And then there was this:
"I want to evoke passion with fragrance….intense love/lust and distaste/fear rather than merely popular acceptance"
It’s the Oscar dress everyone was waiting for. On Sunday, Natalie Portman stepped out onto the 83nd Annual Academy Awards red carpet in a rich aubergine, off-the-shoulder gown by design darlings Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte.While Dior was a long-rumored option, Portman’s Rodarte makes sense

AGENCY Reuters confirmed the information that John Galliano was suspended from work after the designer was detained by Paris police for anti-Semitic statements.50-year-old designer allegedly insulted a Jewish couple, sitting at a table in a cafe in Paris Marais quarter.This morning, Christina Binkley of the Wall Street Journal wrote in his Twitter: «... John Galliano was suspended from work at Dior after an overnight police interrogation." Should follow a formal declaration of the executive director of Christian Dior Sidney Toledano: at the time of the investigation into the designer will be removed from office.Meanwhile, Vogue.co.uk described the story differently: "We had a table at La Perle, and John Galliano was sitting next to us", - told the editor of an eyewitness. - He spoke with a couple at the next table, I tell them «cheers», and they insult him. The conflict began, there was a police bodyguard Galliano offered to go to the police station to sort out. He was not arrested by the police, behaved calmly and peacefully. I definitely have not heard anything anti-Semitic or affecting someone's religious beliefs, everything was very calm. " Galliano's lawyer told AFP, that the designer "has officially denied allegations of anti-Semitism leveled against him." We will continue to monitor this situation.
Джон Гальяно отстранен от дел
Дизайнеру пришлось покинуть Дом Dior после антисемитских высказываний
АГЕНСТВО Reuters подтвердило информацию о том, что Джона Гальяно отстранили от работы после того, как дизайнер был задержан парижской полицией за антисемитские высказывания.50-летний дизайнер якобы оскорбил еврейскую пару, сидевшую за столиком в кафе парижского квартала Маре.Сегодня утром Кристина Бинкли из Wall Street Journal написала в свой Twitter: «...Джон Гальяно был отстранен от работы в Dior после ночного допроса в полиции». Следом последовало официальное заявление исполнительного директора Christian Dior Сидни Толедано: на время проведения расследования дизайнер будет отстранен от должности.Между тем, Vogue.co.uk описали историю по-другому: «У нас был стол в La Perle, и Джон Гальяно сидел рядом с нами», — рассказал редактору сайта очевидец. — Он заговорил с парой за соседним столиком, хотел сказать им «cheers», а они его оскорбили. Начался конфликт, появилась полиция, телохранитель Гальяно предложил пойти в участок, чтобы разобраться. Он не был арестован полицейскими, вел себя спокойно и мирно. Я определенно не слышал ничего антисемитского или затрагивающего чьи-то религиозные убеждения, все было очень спокойно». Адвокат Гальяно сообщил AFP, что дизайнер «официально отрицает обвинения в антисемитизме, выдвинутые против него». Мы будем продолжать следить за этой ситуацией.
