Charlize Theron made a rare misstep on Oscar night. No, she didn't tumble down the steep stairs in the Kodak Theatre: instead, she wore a lavender and pale lilac satin bustier gown by John Galliano for Dior. We love Galliano and we love Charlize, but we did not love this dress. In fact, we despised it. The pale fabric around her bustline made it look as if someone was grabbing her breasts from behind her. It was tacky and frankly we're surprised that John sent this down the red carpet. The dress doesn't need the bust embellishments: without them, the lines are clean and elegant. Add a statement necklace and it would have been perfect, although lavender is not really Charlize's best color. Charlize accessorized the gown with 17.25 carat platinum and diamond cluster earrings and a platinum and diamond bracelet by Harry Winston.
Charlize told US magazine that she loved the dress, so she gets points for loyalty.
