If some of the pretty things on last night’s red carpet had you doing a deja-who wore it before, you weren’t alone.
Some put their left foot in, their left foot out; their right foot in, their right foot out, but no one did the hokey pokey quite like Ang did at the Oscars…or did they?

Carine, in Givenchy Haute Couture, reveals just enough leg, with a little left to the imagination. Clah-ssy.

Gisele with her sidekick, husband Tom Brady, kicked things back over to the right side, in Givenchy Haute Couture aussi.
Gisele, of course, is being loyal to the brand she fronts.
I prefer the women above, who didn’t go all the way, not that I would have been miffed at a little Margiela dare.

Ang went out on a limb and walked away with the Oscar for the biggest Internet meme (it really should be an official category at the awards next year).
Anja Rubik was hip to Ang’s vibe and stepped it up several notches.

Hip to be square. Square angles and geometric form, indeed.

Killer bone structure. Anja Rubik is in Anthony Vaccarello. Her hip? Not so much.
Has someone called Nadja Auermann?? Plus, are those the SS12 Gucci shoes I’ve been coveting?
Rose Byrne wore all white (and a little more fabric) at the SAG Awards, earlier this year.

Janelle Monae jumped on the bandwagon with a black jumpsuit.

Sadly, satin doesn't wear as well as sequins. It wasn't my favourite look.
So, is Beyonce back? Did anyone notice?
She was hard to miss, wasn’t she?

Looking back for her inspiration...

...Beyonce found Penelope Cruz, in Marchesa, with Mr. Depp, last year at Cannes.
I don’t think B (as Gwyneth calls her) needs to be this in-your-face. I’d love to see her in Stephane Rolland Couture, or in a Tom Ford suit, without the frou and fuss.
By the way, that barely there back walk has been done elsewhere, aussi.
Georgina Chapman was reigning the red carpet again, with many a dress of her design draped on a drama queen, or few. You may recognize a couple from the picture below…

Georgina is wearing the same dress that Lea Michele wore to the People's Choice Awards in January.
And GC wore that gorg golden gown that Keren Craig dons above, at her hubby’s Golden Globes bash.

Jessica and Justin have got that posing thing, bang on.
Where have I seen those bangs before?

Bangs are showing up everywhere. You can thank this woman (and her hair stylist) for that.
The biggest revival on ze tapis rouge, however, was just super-duper. More on that in my next post…
Meanwhile, catch up on all Met Gala 2012 posts, so far.
