We Couldn't Have Said It Better

Even though everyone has been buzzing about Jennifer Lawrence, Quvenzhané Wallis totally stole my heart with her Oscar antics and hallmark puppy purse (and I’m sure I’m not alone). Because, seriously – if you’re walking the red carpet, sparkles are the only way to go.

@dkny: Well Sandra’s certainly been skipping the cupcakes. I wish I could say the same.
Us, too. Our excuse is that we weren’t invited to the Oscars, so what’s a few cupcake calories?

@WhoWhatWear: Can someone give me a bright lip please? Or just a lip? Anyone? Bueller? #peopleoscars
What happened to the trend of bold, bright lipstick? Seriously lacking on the red carpet this year.

@thecoveteur: All we care about is the status of Bradley Cooper’s hair. Cc @ilariaurbinati #tcrealtalk #wallgroupies #Oscars
There was gel. Lots of gel. (Apparently George Clooney was the only one who missed the memo.)

@elementstyle: Someone get Kristen a brush and some enthusiasm for life
And maybe a pair of black-tie crutches.

@refinery29: Going to work out now. Bye. Thanks Jane Fonda.
If we can’t get the workout secrets, can someone give us the number for her doctor?

After preparing for the viewing party and filling out the ballots, the next best thing (aside from the platters of finger food) is the red-carpet arrivals. So we had to ask: If you were invited to the awards ceremony, what type of gown would you go for?

Regardless of what you’re most looking forward to – the red-carpet style, recognizing the year’s best flicks, or funny-guy host Seth MacFarlane – here are a few things to remember (besides a sparkly dress) for any viewing party on Hollywood’s biggest night.

Oscar Party Etiquette

Everyone has an opinion. If you love Hugh Jackman (or Jennifer Lawrence, or Tim Burton, or anyone), someone else may not. And that’s okay. Check opposing names on your respective Oscar ballots, disagree over champagne and appropriately themed cookies, and move on. This is an evening for glamour, gowns – and friendly banter.

Know Amour from Argo. Even if you’re mainly there to critique the fashion, you should have a rough idea of what’s going on. No one expects you to be an expert on every single movie, but know the nominations. Missing this detail is like going to a football party and asking who’s playing. 

Avoid spoilers. On the opposite end of the spectrum, don’t talk about major plot points or endings unless you know everyone in attendance has seen the movie. (Tip: If you’re starting a sentence with “I couldn’t believe it when…” or something similar, you’re probably giving away too much.)

Chat during commercials. Speeches are sacred in awards-show land. (Remember Jodie Foster’s at the Golden Globes? No one would have wanted to miss that.) Be respectful and keep it down until there’s a break in the action.

But most of all – have fun. The biggest night in movies only comes around once a year.
