The Politics of Oscar Fashion: Why the red carpets are boring
Once upon a time, designers dreamed of dressing an Oscar-going actress so they could be a part of fashion history. And during the ’90s, the dream came true if the designer seduced the actress like a rich lover: flowers, expensive gifts, private jet to Paris, front row seats at your fashion show, private fittings, and a discreet under-the-table check for $100-200,000. Eh, voila. She was all yours.
But in 2011, dressing an Oscar nominee or presenter is a lot more expensive ($4-5 million dollar deals), way more complicated (outside agencies broker alliances, control dresses) and far more discriminating for both big and small designers. (A-listers only, please). And all these factors, insiders say, are making real Red Carpet Moments very scarce and the Oscar red carpet rather boring.

Backstage, the pregnant star posed for photos with her huge crystal Best Actress award and talked about the similarities between actresses and ballerinas.
“I think one of the interesting things, and because I started so young acting, you get used to seeing yourself out of your body. I think dancers have that a lot with all the mirrors. They’re used to seeing the reflection of themselves rather than being themselves. I think that happened to the character a lot where she sees herself out of her body in her life. It’s a struggle as an actor to remain rooted and anchored to yourself while being so aware of what you look like to other people.” ”
