Oscar fashion rumours and confirmations

Breaking Oscar Fashion News!

Forget the usual Oscar style suspense. Best Actress Oscar shoe-in Helen Mirren announced tonight that she will wear a Christian LaCroix gown to the Oscars.

At tonight's Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences 'Shorts! Shorts!' program in Beverly Hills, Helen, with her hunky hubby Taylor Hackford, revealed that she had been ill for two days following her return from England to the US. But never fear. She's rallying and she will wear a gown designed by the French couturier LaCroix to Sunday's awards show. No word of color or cut but given that it's a LaCroix, it will undoubtedly be a splendid, sexy and fanciful creation.

Bravo to 'The Queen', for taking a such a fun fashion risque. And for being upfront about it. How much do we love this woman?

Below are a few gorgeous gowns we absolutely fell in love with at the recent LaCroix Haute Couture show in Paris. Helen would look absolutely fab in any of them.

I love her and she should win because she was brilliant in The Queen. I agree--she would look amazing in LaCroix. I can't wait for the Oscars!

Well that's one less gown for us to ID the designer for...and she's going to look stunning.

 

[Diamond Star]

Looking forward to seeing her dress and I too hope she wins

'It's Lacroix, darling.'

I hope it's none of the dresses posted with the article....they all look like prom dresses gone through the blender. The yellow one is the only relatively nice dress, though the color is grotesque.

She would look lovely in the yellow, but I'm guessing she'll go a bit safer with a modified version of the blue or pale pink.

I'm glad to see that someone will be wearing a dress by a designer other than Elie Saab, or these other overused designers.

YES LACROIX!!!! SCOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Too bad it's not anyone younger though.

 

[MyNameIs]

I too think yellow is the only one that would be appropriate for her, even without any modification.

I would love someone else to wear the last pink one. I think it looks great.

the yellow dress is gorgeous and, in my opinion, the color is not "grotesque."

a man with his intestines hanging out of his gut is grotesque. the color of that lacroix gown is anything but grotesque.

Nice choice for her, I'm sure she'll look lovely And I hope she wins

 

[travis_nw8]

yipee!- the dame always scrubs up well and i can't remember any red carpet larcoix. ( although i did sit next to her in a coffee shop in picadilly once and she was looking pretty rough...)

It's grotesque because it's the color of my dog's vomit

 

[christina126]

[chicbor]

[sogangsta]

[iLoveCouture]

I can't wait to see how she looks on the carpet.

 

[Scott]

[ultramarine]
