Last week, I was a bit turned off when US Magazine wrote an article outlining the contents of the Oscars Swag Bag… for losers. In fact, it’s safe to say we are all a little peeved at the sheer wastefulness (is that a word?) and social irresponsibility of the sponsoring companies.
This week, in anticipation of the big show on Sunday, I have something a little more lighthearted to share: from Cosmopolitan UK, “Every Best Actress Oscars Dress Since 1929”. The lovely little infographic, created by the digital geniuses at mediarundigital.co.uk, has been making its rounds on Facebook and Twitter, but I just had to post it here as well. Take a peek! And if you’re tuning into the Academy Awards this weekend, don’t forget to join our #EpsonRedCarpet Twitter Party at 7:00pm EST, where you know we’ll be chatting about Oscar-night fashion!
Love this.
Me too :)
Yep, wastefulness is a word (although I thought quite a few other “more colourful” words when I was reading that swag bag article LOL).
Love the dress parade – noticed a couple of “off the rack” dresses in there – good for them ! Also interesting to see the list of the actresses that didn’t attend…. now I am going to have to go and find out why LOL !!
I was wondering the same thing! Especially Katharine Hepburn!
I watched the Oscars last night and was pleasantly amazed at the lack of outrageous dresses this year ! Well, except for Ellen’s “Glinda” imitation LOL She was a hoot !
Wasn’t she amazing? Love her as host!
This is amazing. I am so excited for the Oscars this year. I’ll definitely be watching the red carpet :)
Awesome! Hope you can pop in for our Twitter Party!
wow what a chart!! the red carpet is by far the best part … we FF through the rest lol
LOL I usually watch for the first hour or so and then I’m done… I can’t remember the last time I stayed up for the whole thing :)
That is sooo cool Lena. Thanks for sharing.. I wonder why katherine Hepburn never showed up for her awards???
I’m wondering the same thing Allie!!!
my favorite is the 2003 dress. the drawing makes the 2013 look like a wedding dress. I hated the 1948 dress. not a fan of green and its very bulky too.
Nicole Kidman’s 2003 dress is my fave too! Loved it!
I liked the 1961 dress
Oooh… good pick! It’s very different!
Interesting how the majority are black outfits.
It’s definitely the safest choice….
An interesting look back! Neat to see!
I agree! Love this chart!
LOVE THIS!!! Wow it’s so great to see it like this.
For sure! It’s great to see how much more elaborate the fashions have become over the years too!
i saw that posted earlier. it’s a great graphic
Sure is!
What an interesting evolution in fashion!
It’s great to see it!
I LOVE this! I only started getting into the Oscars a few years ago so this really brings me up to date on the past memorable dresses! So excited to see who is the best dressed this year!!
I can’t wait!! The red carpet is my favourite part of the show!
very interesting, it doesn’t seem like they changed to much
You don’t think so Lynda? I think they got more colourful as the years went on!
I have a friend who is so into what they where at the Oscars. I have to admit I like seeing the dresses as well.
It’s definitely fun to watch, especially since the outfits are so beautiful!
Nice. I love watching the Oscars. I must admit I do pay attention to the dresses.
It’s hard not to! Such a nice distraction from our everyday lives :)
I love the dresses from the 2000s!
Me too! My fave decade!
This is very neat, its crazy how much the dresses have changed over the years! I love Jennifers latest look the best!
LOVED Jennifer’s dress but they didn’t capture it here as well as they could have!
Oh wow :) I love it! I can picture some of the dresses in my head from watching the show over the years … It’s interesting to see the chance in styles over the years :)
I agree Soozle! It’s a neat little chart!
I love seeing the evolution of fashion! So cool. Thanks for sharing.
You’re very welcome!
Wow! It’s amazing to see the compilation of Oscar fashion through the years. I can’t believe how much fashion has changed! Awesome chart
I agree Melinda – an this provides such a great visual!
they are amazing!
I agree Jennifer!
I’m no fashion expert but it astounds me what some wear thinking it looks good on them.
I’m not a big movie fan but I love the awards shows just to see the dresses!
Interesting.
Thats some great chart!
It’s amazing to look at the fashions from so many years and it’s also amazing how in the beginning they didn’t go all out but instead just wore pretty dresses not gowns and jewels etc
