2008 Oscar Fashions That Worked: Jennifer Garner and Marion Cotillard
Last night's Oscar fashions featured a bold, clear palette without those muddy colors that we despise so much. Red was the color of the evening: there were some gorgeous red gowns. Black made a comeback, as did white. Everyone else was in jewel tones. We weren't as crazy about the jewelry this year, although some people got it right. Here's a look at two stars that knocked it out of the park.
Jennifer Garner stunned onlookers with her black silk taffeta Oscar de la Renta fishtail gown. She accessorized with diamonds from Van Cleef & Arpels, a clutch from diamonds, Roger Vivier clutch, cat eye liner, pale lips and a touseled updo. Marion Cotillard won Best Actress for her portrayal of legendary French chanteuse Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose. She wore a stunning fishscale, fishtale dress made by Jean Paul Gaultier. Marion accessorized with a Chopard diamond necklace and ring, and a clutch by Daniel Swarovski. Like many of the women, she wore a deep side part in her hair and had silver sparkly eyeshadow.
