Superdoll New Ensemble "Supernova"

Here's a bit of an update on yesterday's internet bottleneck over at Superdoll. A few people were able to order this new fashion when something went wrong at the dealer's end. Later in the day, it was fixed and we were able to see and purchase this very interesting ensemble called Supernova. Here is the promotional text directly from the website:

SUPERNOVA SYB/755

Stellar Fabulous Red Carpet Attention Grabber

Venus knows she has Paris just around the corner, yet she insists on being up to her neck in Glamour.
Strapless 'planetary' print satin gown bearing pointed neckline and transparent chastity chest belts.
Blues, pinks, yellows and a myriad of other galactic colours adorn the gorgeous print and all that as an underpinning to the dazzle of minute crystal stones and 2 size drop crystal dangles.
You couldn't ask for a showier red carpet confection.
For arrivals and concealment, the perfect eye catcher.... a huge floor length feathered cape in white satin, marabou and ostrich lined in the matching celestial print satin.
An elongated envelope clutch with chain strap, strappy cutout matching sandles and of course.... a 'crystal' and 'diamond' contemporary crown make her stand out from the competition!
display figures / manequin not included.
OUTFIT ONLY

It is now sold out. The price was £219.00 which translated to $367.08 at yesterday's exchange rates.

Red Carpet Fashions at the Oscar Awards 2012

Last night's Oscar Award show was one of the best I've ever seen. The production was practically flawless. The jokes were pretty funny and the fashions were classy and gorgeous. Which were your favorites?

Angelina and Brad - OMG - she is drop dead gorgeous and sexy. Atelier Versace black velvet.
He's adorable.

Glenn Close - fabulously talented but someone needs to force this woman to do something with her hair. It's over-cooked and old-fashioned. The gown, meh. Zac Posen

Emma Stone needed to lose all that extra fabric at the neckline. It wasn't a detail that warranted so much attention. A gorgeous sparkly brooch would have done a much better job. Giambattista Valli Haute Couture

Rooney Mara was very interesting to look at. I liked the hair but I would like to see it in another style so I could compare. The gown she's wearing is beautiful but would benefit from larger breasts. Givenchy couture.

Natalie Portman- Her gown looks ordinary but the diamonds make up for it. Vintage Christian Dior gown.

Penelope Cruz - glamorous and very Hollywood but not up to her usual drop dead gorgeous look. I think it was the hair and pale palette of her make-up.   Giorgio Armani

Gwyneth Paltrow dressed as a Bar Mitzvah mom.  Tom Ford.

Jennifer Lopez - This gown enhances every one of her curves. Although I love Zuhair Murad's work I don't like it on JLo.

Meryl Streep - Is she too busy to get a styling? I don't care if she's not a skinny little thing, she could have been dressed in a more fashionable, flattering, stylish garment.  Lanvin.

Sandra Bullock - The top of this Marchesa gown did not flatter and made her look top heavy. 

Giuliana Rancic - Gorgeous Tony Ward  gown.

Milla Jovovich  - Gorgeous Elie Saab gown. Makeup and hair all work together. She's a knock-out.

Nick Nolte looks ill.

Jane Seymour - WOW! What a gown. I love everything about it except the seam down the front. She's got quite a figure at 61 years old!

Missi Pyle - I'd cut off the droopy strap. Valentina Delfino. Click here for the dress back story.

Octavia Spencer - dressed and accessorized to perfection. Tadashi Shoji.

Michelle Williams - I'm not sure about the gown. There's a lot of stuff going on: multi-layered chiffon fabric, ruching, peplum, train....busy. Louis Vuitton. I love the diamond bow brooch at her waist.

Fashion Picks and Nit Picks of Golden Globe 2012

The men looked gorgeous in their tuxedos. Leonardo looks good to me no matter what.

Leonardo DiCaprio in Giorgio Armani

For the ladies there were too many over-designed gowns. More is not better; it's just more. So many were sprouting out of feathers, flourishes and tiers of manipulated fabric.

Of the 90 or so images I looked at, these were my female favorites:

Jessica Alba in Gucci

Penelope Ann Miller in Pamela Roland

Sarah Hyland in Vintage Dolce Gabbana

Shailene Woodley in Marchesa

Not quite decided about these but they did have a unique appeal to me.

Selma Hayek in Gucci

Zooey Deschanel in Prada

Simple bodice with a fascinating bottom of painterly quality. (Perhaps feathers?)

Sophia Vergara in Vera Wang

Bird, reptile, fish or Cirque costume? All she needs is an appropriate snake headdress.

Evan Rachel Wood in Gucci Premiere

A category of her own. Picture Tilda without the face and the jacket.

Tilda Swinton in Haider Ackermann

The worst:
This looks like a chenille bedspread. Poor thing. She looks overwhelmed.

Ariel Winter in Dolce & Gabbana

We're off to see the Wizard. This gown's beautiful silhouette deserved better color treatment. She looks like the Jolly Green Giant.

Laura Dern in Andrew Gn

I have no words for this laser-cut greeting card parading as a dress.

Dianna Agron in Giles

My Mother's Baby-Blue Sequined Portieres (left side.) The beadwork is gorgeous but the zipper is so noticeable and for some reason it looks as if she didn't have time to finish getting dressed. She needs a clutch and something else...perhaps a touch-up for her roots?

Jodie Foster in Giorgio Armani

This has been way too much fun.
