Our friend and incredible fashion stylist Christina K Pierce has been kind enough to share her expertise with us. Here she outlines last year's red carpet style misses with thoughts on how to make them better:
While
the dress is pretty, it is almost too much for the small framed starlet and
ages her! I would have much rather seen her in something a little more
contemporary and edgy. Red with red hair? Not my pick! If we were to style
Emma, here is a couple of our top picks:
What we like about the green to the left– you get the same effect that Emma must have been going for with the bow but with this
Giambattista Valli, the starlet wouldn't look like she is choking. Also the
texture and subtle print to the dress make it slightly edgy and the emerald
shade of green would play off her red locks perfectly! The black and white
Oscar de la Renta may look like an illusion but this dress certainly wouldn't have aged her. Pair with a gold vintage belt for the right amount of
juxtaposition and Emma would have emerged as more of a style icon.

When looking at Oscar considerations for 2013 I always like
to take a look back and see what some of the “misses” were and how they could
have been avoided. Of course “best” and “worst” dressed lists are always
subjective and seem to vary by the source, there is typically one major theme –
gorgeous celebrities who ALMOST got it right.
Take Emma Stone for example:
What we like about the green to the left– you get the same effect that Emma must have been going for with the bow but with this
Giambattista Valli, the starlet wouldn't look like she is choking. Also the
texture and subtle print to the dress make it slightly edgy and the emerald
shade of green would play off her red locks perfectly! The black and white
Oscar de la Renta may look like an illusion but this dress certainly wouldn't have aged her. Pair with a gold vintage belt for the right amount of
juxtaposition and Emma would have emerged as more of a style icon.
For our next actress, we took a look at Sandra Bullock who
was THIS CLOSE to perfection.
The
color blocking and drop waist design made this number not-so-flattering on top.
Though we love the embellishment, it seemed oddly placed. We
much prefer this selection:
The soft color would have played off Sandra’s milky skin and
dark hair as perfectly fitting as it was on the runway model. Also, the
waistline embellishments are definitely more flattering and give Sandra
something more unexpected than her last season’s choice. You never can go wrong
with Chanel!
