The 2009 Academy Awards: Gemma's best dressed Oscar attendees

For many, the jury was out on Kate Winslet, but as far as I'm concerned (along with the Slumdog Millionnaire team) the 2009 Oscars belonged to her. Her Atelier Yves Saint Laurent by Stefano Pilati assymetric evening gown in grey degrade satin and embroidered black silk tulle was exactly the kind of thing I expected to see her in. The tulle layers have split the vote for many, but I loved how they made the dress look black from the back and grey at the front. She joins the likes of Reese Witherspoon, Freida Pinto, Anne Hathaway and (shockingly) Jennifer Aniston on my surprisingly pale-coloured best dressed list.

The 2009 Academy Awards: Gemma's best dressed Oscar attendees - Comments

  • Kate Winslet looks stunning as always. I love how the color coupled with the design makes it softer.

  • Nicole

    I have to say that Reese Witherspoon looks awful. Her eye makeup looked terrible on television - like something a middle school goth queen would wear. Her hair looks stringy, and this dress is wearing her, not the other way round. It's asymmetry makes it seem like she's deformed or something.



    I thought Frieda Pinto's dress looked fabulous on TV, and I don't think the red carpet photo does it justice.

  • Agree on all those except Frieda Pinto - the colour was great but I just don't think the dress worked on her. Maybe if she and Anne Hathaway had swapped that would have worked better?
