To celebrate tonight’s Academy Awards — and console myself for not being there this year — I’m reminiscing about my personal Oscar fashion archive. Picking up where I left off in Part I, Part II begins in 2006. Beauty-wise, I skipped the faux-ny tail again and, thankfully, opted for straight hair. I had enough going…
