10 Best And The 10 Worst Dressed At The Oscars 2019

YouTube

Well, The Oscars have come and gone again this year and it certainly did not disappoint. From Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's romantic duet to Rami Malek's first nomination and first win all in the same night, I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. However, it is not so much anxiously awaiting to see who will win that always ropes me in, it's the fashion. I love watching the stars arrive on the red carpet to strut their stuff and I love judging their gowns and tuxes for myself even more. So here are, in my opinion, the 10 best and the worst numbers of the year.

1. Best: Lady Gaga

This queen looked absolutely elegant and breathtaking in a simple black gown. Sometimes simplicity is key.

2. Worst: Rachel Weisz

Scarlett O'Hara made a dress from her window curtains, Rachel Weisz made a dress from her shower curtain.

3. Best: Brie Larson

Sometimes when a dress is that sparkly, it can make someone look like a disco ball, but Brie Larson pulled this number off impeccably.

4. Worst: Kacey Musgraves

So that's where my missing shower loofah went!

5. Best: Charlize Theron

Some say that Charlize Theron missed the fashion mark this year, but I think she hit it spot on. As I stated previously, sometimes simplicity is key.

6. Worst: Maya Rudolph

Maya, I love you, but this was definitely not your best look.

7. Best: Amy Adams

The intricately embroidered dress was a winner in my book this year and Amy Adams is a winner in my book every day.

8. Worst: Linda Cardellini

I, for one, am not a fan of ruffles in general, but this dress was way over the top.

9. Best: Laura Harrier

This dress was probably my favorite this year - a beautiful color and beautiful embroidery for a beautiful woman!

10. Worst: Emma Stone

Good thing Emma has her suit of armor on for battle!

11. Best: Constance Wu

Yellow is not an easy color to pull off, but Constance Wu did it brilliantly.

12. Worst: Gemma Chan

Don't stare at her Gemma Chan's dress for too long, your eyes will start to hurt!

13. Best: Allison Janney

Allison Janney knocked it out of the park this year which only reaffirms the fact in my mind that she can do no wrong.

14. Worst: Glenn Close

And the award for "Best Imitation of an Actual Oscar" goes to....

15. Best: Kiki Layne

Kacey Musgraves, take notes, this is how you pull off pink.

16. Worst: Sarah Paulson

Sarah must have been channeling her "American Horror Story" training because this dress gave me nightmares.

17. Best: Henry Golding

Henry Golding honoring the Golden Age of Hollywood in this swanky tux? YES PLEASE!

18. Worst: Olivia Colman

Good thing Olivia Colman won an Oscar this year because she was definitely not going to be winning "Best Dressed."

19. Best: Billy Porter

Billy Porter definitely wins the award for "Most Unique." #Slayme

20. Worst: Tessa Thompson

Was anyone else reminded of the leg lamp from "A Christmas Story?" Sorry Tessa, but I don't think that's what you were going for.

Some honorable mentions in the "best" category include Regina King, Melissa McCarthy, Helen Mirren, Emilia Clarke, Amandla Stenberg, and Elsie Fisher.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

University of Kentucky

pointsincase.com

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

"I don't want to do things. I want to do not things."

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

What I Do When I’m Sick in College

I wish I had my mom.

SUNY Binghamton

Holytaco.com

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Freedom vs. Curfew

No one cares if you wear pajamas to class

You don't live with mommy anymore, say hello to cereal and Ramen Noodles

Curfew? Never heard of her.

Everything said in class is most likely posted online

Sundays are now for hangovers and homework

The realization that you need your pet now more than ever

High school parties are nothing compared to college

Exams are worth way more than participation points

The library is now your new best friend

You don't live with your mom anymore... call her

Moms are super heroes dressed in yesterday's clothing and they deserve an award for that.

1. For all of the endless hugs and kisses you always seem to smother me in.

2. For teaching me how to cuddle and being the best cuddle buddy still to this day.

3. For teaching me some of the best "mom dance moves"

4. For pushing through all of the sleepless nights and still being super mom.

5. For not killing me every time you found me cutting my own bangs.

6. For showing me all the classics and helping me develop a good taste in movies.

7. And for watching the ridiculous reality TV shows with me because no one else will.

8. For helping me with all of that awful homework that even you couldn't understand.

9 For giving us a taste of our own medicine when we needed it.

10. For setting my curfew at a reasonable hour to ensure I didn't get into any mischief. (I was still able to accomplish a little mayhem though)

11. For spoiling me as a little girl but making me do chores as I got older. I now understand the point of having a clean house.

12. For being the best host to all of the weird friends I would bring over.

13. And for standing up for me when those weird friends stabbed me in the back.

14. For listening when I needed to vent and always giving the best advice possible.

15. For being the absolute best cook. No arguments there.

16. For answering every single phone call and the millions of questions that I always have.

17. For letting me form my own identity and encouraging me along the way.

18. For going on shopping dates with me and always telling me your honest opinion.

19. For rolling the windows down and singing along to the music with me.

20. And for being the best mom possible. I love you!
