Damn! Where was Moonstruck<\/em>-era Cher when I needed her on Oscar night<\/a>? For that matter, where was Rihanna? Bad Gal RiRi’s puffy, pink Giambattista Valli gown<\/a> made a huge impression at the Grammys earlier this month<\/a>, but it would have been the obvious winner of my coveted Best Dressed\/Wear What You Want <\/a>combo award on the far more conservative Oscar red carpet.<\/p>\n

The combo award normally goes to someone who is dressed beautifully and<\/em> interestingly. Actually, the beauty part is optional. Causing controversy counts more than looking pretty. I didn’t feel that there was anyone who had quite that perfect, jaw-dropping IDGAF <\/a>mix, so I’m presenting my Best Dressed and Wear What You Want awards separately, for the first time ever.<\/p>\n

As far as style goes, it’s difficult for anyone to compete with Lupita Nyong’o, who always looks impeccable. She’d be my Best Dressed candidate regardless, but, because I’m a jewelry designer, the 6,000 pearls covering her custom-made Calvin Klein dress<\/a> make her my best, best, best dressed.<\/p>\n
