Critics Quotes

"Helen Mirren's custom red duchess satin Georges Chakra gown was OK… but the Swarovski crystal sleeves look like they were attached as an afterthought." -Access Hollywood

"Tilda Swinton may have won Oscar Gold, but her unflattering black Lanvin sack dress was not a winner. In fact, it looked like a garbage bag. Throw this one out in the trash." -Access Hollywood

Worst Oscar Fashion Dresses

Worst dressed went to Oscar winner, Tilda Swinton, who wore a loose fitting, single sleeved black dress by Lanvin.
Best Actor winner Daniel Day-Lewis and his wife Rebecca Miller landed on the worst dressed list. He for his brown lace-up shoes, and his wife for her red bows on her dress and gaudy floral pin.
After last years disaster, people hoped to see Jennifer Hudson come in style, however, even though she left the bolero at home, her white Roberto Cavalli was just the opposite of flattering.
Viggo Mortensen also was placed on the worst dressed list because of his scruffy mountain man beard and over-sized jacket.
Julie Christie also made the list, wearing a cocktail dress, which she designed herself, along with long pink sheer gloves from the Louis Vuitton Spring 2008 collection, that just didn't go together at all.
