10 Worst Dressed Women of the 2007 Academy Awards

The 79^th Annual Academy Awards were held on Sunday, February 25, 2007. While there were many beautiful outfits worn by the women on the red carpet, there were also some disappointing or just plain ugly ones. Here are my Top 10 Worst Dressed Women of this year's Oscars.

Penelope Cruz. I'm sorry, but this dress was just terrible. The top third of it is not so bad, but it goes downhill from there. The skirt part of the dress is puffy and full, with little shredded pieces of fabric all over it. To be honest, when I saw this, it reminded me of when my cat shreds the toilet paper in the bathroom.

Nicole Kidman. Nicole, a usually very well-dressed woman, made a big mistake with this dress. The red halter-style dress has the potential to be a classic, elegant choice. However, it has a huge bow right by her neck. I don't know why it is there, but it ruined the dress.

Gwyneth Paltrow. This was another disappointment. Gwyneth is also a generally well dressed woman. At this year's Oscars, though, Gwyneth Paltrow choose a dud. The brown, mermaid-style dress is just not very attractive. While it does bring out her hour-glass figure, the dress does nothing else for her.

Eva Green. Earth tones really seemed to be popular this year at the Oscars. This tan (for lack of a better color to describe it) colored gown was actually a good color on Eva, but the cut and style of it was just not pretty. This had an almost mermaid-style skirt, with a fairly long but structured train. I did not like this look at all.

Jennifer Hudson. She may be the "people's favorite," and a Grammy winner, Jennifer's attire that she wore on the runway was all wrong. Actually, the dress was not the issue. The odd, large collared cape was just plain weird. I don't know what she was hoping to add to her look by wearing it, but it didn't work.

Queen Latifah. This dress, while nice in concept, was just not flattering. The black, form-fitting gown was adorned with horizontal lines. We all know what horizontal lines can do to a girl. Not good.

Anne Hathoway. When I saw Anne from behind, I thought, "ooh, I like that one!" When she turned around, though, I changed my mind. This otherwise elegant white gown was ruined by a large, strange black bow on the front. Only now do I realize it was a bow. When I first saw it, I thought it was supposed to resemble a vest. This was an awful addition to an otherwise pretty dress.

Kirstin Dunst. I have nothing good to say about Kirstin's dress. The pale color washed her out, the details on the dress were all wrong, and the collar was odd. These things do not compare to the main problem with this dress: the feathers! Yes, feathers. At the bottom of the dress were feathers, pointing upwards none the less.

Cameron Diaz. Cameron's gown was an asymmetrical, stiff nightmare. The top of the dress had a huge, uneven collar; the skirt of the dress had a similarly styled bottom leading into a train. Paired with her overly tanned skin, this was not one of Cameron's better looks.

Sally Kirkland. I was hoping to include a picture of this outfit, as it is very hard to describe, but sadly I could not find one. Sally Kirkland walked, or should I say sashayed around the red carpet in one of the worse outfit's I have seen in quite a while. The outfit, which was primarily black, had oddly-shaped black fabric covering most of her chest. The outfit was in layers, with a opaque layer, and a translucent one. The worse part, by far, was the ribbons that were attached. Sally was waving her multi-colored, wide ribbon-type things all over the red carpet. This was just disturbing.

There were, of course, many other bad outfits. Some were the wrong color, cut, or shape for the actress. The outfits I have detailed were worse than that. These outfits were wrong on many levels, and I hope to never see them again.
