Oscar Coverage: Worst dressed - Nicole Kidman

Filed under: Red Carpet Trends



Nicole Kidman is one of my favorite pale ladies in all of Hollywood. But, I wish she would own her skin color. Wearing a black dress when your skin is as white as snow can sometimes make one look rather witch-y.

I also wish she would own her pregnancy! Show it off Nicole! Every gossip blog out there knows you've been wanting to have biological children since back before you starting botoxing the life out of your forehead, had red hair and dated pre-couch jumping crazy Tom Cruise. And now Keith Urban's golden sperm has done the trick. You're finally knocked up, so give us what we've all been waiting for -- a glimpse of that little baby bump!

Honestly, there's not that much wrong with this dress. It's kind of an awkward length -- like someone accidentally hemmed it just an inch too short. And it's a little boring. The plain black looks sort of like a prom dress, I mean if it weren't worn with a ridiculous diamond necklace, which is most certainly worth more than my house. But, I can't really put my finger on what I don't like about Nicole's Oscar get-up. I think I just expected more from one of the most elegant women in the business.
