Katherine Heigl

Rating: ★★★★½

As you may or may not know – green is my absolute favorite color – and I’m always grateful when Hollywood’s leading ladies brave to stay away from the usual black, red or blue to opt for a beautiful emerald hue. Katherine Heigl surpassed all my expectations yesterday by wearing a breath-taking emerald green Naeem Khan one sleeved sequin dress with a satin sash tied around her waist. The actress smiled and sparkled while she was exchanging hugs and kisses with co-star Gerard Butler at the London Premiere of her newest flick The Ugly Truth. She was such a pleasure to look at. Katherine’s red carpet look was completed with gold jewelry and matching pewter Jimmy Choo sandals. Brava, Katherine!

Katherine Heigl in a red Escada dress vs. Samantha Harris in a red Faviana knockoff dress

When I saw Samantha Harris‘s fierce red gown, I knew I had seen it before on someone else. And that someone else was no other than Katherine Heigl who wore an almost identical gown to the Oscars 2008. Katherine’s dress was Escada of course and it landed her a spot on my Oscars Best Dressed list.

I knew Samantha’s gown couldn’t be Escada, no reputable designer would ever give away a dress that has made such a big entrance to a red carpet event before, twice. The dresses also weren’t 100% identical as Samantha’s version didn’t look as exquisite as Katherine’s and the chiffon train on Samantha’s dress was missing as well.

I wondered who designed Samantha’s red gown and all of a sudden it hit me like a hammer. Samantha’s dress must be a knockoff version from Katherine’s Escada dress! And who is the first to turn to when it comes to red carpet dress replicas? Of course, Faviana!

Faviana's Escada Red Knockoff Gown as seen on Katherine Heigl at the Oscars 2008

See what I mean? The same dress as seen on Samantha Harris. I feel like this is a total “Oh no, she didn’t“-moment. You just don’t wear a knockoff gown to a major red carpet event. I mean it’s not like Katherine’s dress went unnoticed by the crowds. It was huge and everyone loved it, so I wonder if Samantha did really think no one would find out?

Katherine easily wins this. There is simply no competition between Escada and Faviana. And the fact that Samantha tried to get away with a knockoff gown at the SAG Awards really takes all the class out of it.

Who wore it better?

Oscars 2008 – Best Dressed

by Profashionelle on February 25, 2008 · 0 comments

Marion Cotillard

Marion Cotillard in Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2008 Couture - 80th Annual Academy Awards 2008

Best Actress winner Marion Cotillard blowed me away in this stunning ivory mermaid-esque gown. Chopard jewels and Sergio Rossi shoes finished off this beautiful red carpet ensemble.

Though I hoped Cate Blanchett would win the Oscar for Best Actress, after Marion’s acceptance speech I was totally in love with the French actress. She was just wonderful.

Rating: ★★★★★

Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway in Marchesa Fall 2008 - 80th Annual Academy Awards 2008

Anne Hathaway was a vision of red carpet perfection glowing in a fire-red one-shouldered dress and sparkling with Harry Winston jewels.

Love the rose detailed one-shoulder strap. Anne completely cured herself from any previous Oscars fashion disasters. Gotta love it, right?

Rating: ★★★★½

Penélope Cruz

Penélope Cruz in Chanel Couture - 80th Annual Academy Awards 2008

Penélope Cruz was a feast for the eyes wearing a stunning navy, feather-trimmed Chanel Haute Couture gown. She finished off her look with beautiful Chopard jewelry. I especially fell in love with her ruby and diamond earrings. Lovely!

Penélope’s make-up & hair is simply fantastic this year, I love it & definitely prefer this look compared to the one she sported last year at the Oscars.

Rating: ★★★★½

Katherine Heigl

Katherine Heigl in Escada - 80th Annual Academy Awards 2008

WOW! Katherine Heigl deserves an award for the most daring color here. She stunned everyone in an asymmetrical racy red silk georgette Escada column gown. She topped off her look with matching red lipstick, Ryan Ryan jewelry, a silver clutch & shoes (both Jimmy Choo).

Loving the old school glamour make-up & hair!

Rating: ★★★★½

Jennifer Garner

Jennifer Garner in Oscar de la Renta - 80th Annual Academy Awards 2008

I really loved Jennifer Garner‘s amazing black silk taffetta Oscar de La Renta fishtail dress and the Van Cleef & Arpels vintage necklace just knocked me off my socks. Clutch by Roger Vivier.

I also loved Jennifer’s messy updo… but only from the side. If you see it from the front the streaks hide too much of her face.
