Oscar Dresses: Charlize Theron' Oscar dress 2000
Charlize Theron in the Oscar dress by Vera Wang at 2000 Academy Awards
Celebrity Oscar dresses:
Charlize Theron, star of The Cider House Rules, also stood out in a shimmering bronze silk Oscar dress cut in a beautifully-simple 1930s style. Diamonds glittered where the straps joined the bodice, while the hem fish-tailed into a train.
To complement the old world decadence of the Oscar dress, Charlize wore her hair in a pre-war demi-wave and clutched a tiny, jewel-encrusted purse.
Dazzling in her Vera Wang terracotta column Oscar dress, Charlize has obviously been paying attention to the Liz Hurley school of dressing. It's sexy, elegant and clings and reveals in all the right places. What more could the showbiz snappers ask for?
Charlize Theron, the South African actress, wanted the Oscar dress that represented 1930s glamour while working on "The Legend of Bagger Vance." She was wearing Vera Wang' Oscar dress. That's all we got out of Charlize.
Designer Oscar dresses:
Oscar designer Vera Wang thinks, that it's one thing to see Oscar actors in context of a film or a rock band, but it was quite an experience to see them in their "off time".
Despite their money and fame, many are as clueless as Oscar designers are when forced to dress for an all-important evening. They slump; their hair falls into their eyes; their dresses droop in the wrong spots. Which leads to the No. 1 reason that anybody cares about Oscar fashion: Even world-class celebrities play the fashion fool sometimes.
Trouble is, even after soliciting wearers, sending sketches to agents, and fitting bodies, designers are like the rest of us. They are forced to wait until Oscar night to see if their creations get a thumbs-up or not. And that's even when they have secured verbal commitments from the stars.
It's never really a "definite" until they're standing there on stage. Most of the Oscar stars stockpile their clothes and decide what to wear at the last minute. And Oscar designers have to deal with it.
