The annual
Elton John Oscar Viewing Party in support of his AIDS Foundation always seems like a blast, although to be fair, not the most stylish of events. This year the best dressed ladies at the party almost all stuck to the new fail-safe, the little white(ish) dress. With the exception of
Nina Dobrev, who I thought looked elegant and amazing in the old school choice of a
J.Mendel black gown. Beautiful. But the rest we all in shades of pale. Take
Miley Cyrus for example in this very grown up and exquisite
Roberto Cavalli. With excellent hair, make up and jewels. Colour me surprised. And
Paz Vega in
Stephane Rolland Couture reminding me that she exists and that she is a very, very pretty version of Penelope. Stunning.
The delight that is
Katy Perry (beautiful in
Blumarine) and
Dianna Agron (in mushroom print
Carolina Herrera) took some risks and this time they paid off. It is hard to get both these looks right, but I think that they did in this instance. But none more so that the utterly sublime
Dita von Teese. Dressed in
Jenny Packham, she looked like a princess. For me, hands down, the best dressed of the night. And I don't just mean at Elton's party. A-MAY-ZING. Love it. You?
