Growing up Frances Bean.

The evolution of Kurt and Courtney's Grunge-God offspring:


Baby Riot Grrrrl:


Obliviously happy:




What the H-E-double- hockey-sticks is going on in this picture:



No Daddy no more:



Looking a little like Kurt here:


Being exposed to bullshit L.A. celebrity shopping culture:




More and more like Mom:



Until Mom had shitloads of really wack plastic surgery:



Cute:



Enter the "edgy" photo shoot:


Matchy.
Courtney in her "Chanel" dress:




The latest Frances Bean. Just a bit of tweaking here and there and.......


Ughh. Hanging out with that 30-year-old looking Willis girl:

Spanx + Double-sided tape + Spray tan.

Style.com just did a feature on Oscar looks from the past but it just wasn't enough for me.
I'm going to channel my inner Blackwell and give you my personal hits and misses.
I've arranged them into three categories of Winners, Whateves (I feel lukewarm) and Sinners.

_____________________________________________
Winners!

I enjoyed Gwennie's dusty peach? art deco column:



Kate in Valentino xoxoxo:



This photo of Grace Kelly could have been taken yesterday:



Nicole in seashell pink Chanel. I bet she botox-ed her armpits:



This absinthe green Dior always sticks in my mind:



Cute and simple:



Am I the only person that loved this Chanel dress on Kirsten?
It would have looked like crap on anyone else:



This woman can do no wrong:



Hottest couple. Her dress/hair/makeup was flawless. RIP Heath:


Nice and easy and taupe-y:

Whateves.

I have a special place in my heart for Helena so I can't diss her. Drunk people like to come up to me at parties and say stuff like "You look like Helena Bonham Carter when ssssheee washh in Fight Club. But I mean that ashhh a compliment..."



Don't YOU want to be somebody's Dorothea?



This is so wrong, it's right:



Ingrid Bergman. Gorgeous but strangely under dressed:




I love Keira and all but I was sooo distracted by the necklace looking like a pile of eyeballs:





On the right person and under the right circumstances, this McQueen dress would be okay:




Eye-catching Balenciaga but holy eyebrow pencil!



Eh. She can do better:



I applaud the bravery but.... oh! That thing on her shoulder IS too big people:




Nice but boring:



This is so weird no one will ever forget it:



These Cher pics would normally be in the worst-dresses section but, that flowery look is sort of endearing:

_____________________________________________
Sinners!


No words for this:



Tan-a-saurus Rex. Does Lindsay Lohan own a time machine?



It's the hair that ruins this for me:




Thinking: "How the hell did I get here?"



Spy vs. Spy:


Ummm. We're not supposed to see the Spanx Demi:




Stupid precious Barbie ballgown:



I just vomited in my mouth...and it was lavender colored:



Don't care what anyone says. This is U.G.L.Y:



I remember some critics at the time referred to Hilary's modest gown as a burka. Ouch:



This looks itchy Babs:




Everyone RAVED about Renee's dress but I thought she looked short and stumpy:


No Country For Old Men better take it this year!!!!

Buzzzzzzzzzwords.

Buzzwords are silly, aren't they. But they exist so we just have to accept them:



The big buzzwords for Spring 08 were "Tribal-Techno" or "Boho-Tech." What do those words mean? Here is a mathematical equation:



Here are some examples of Boho-Tech in action on the runways:






Topshop was all over this look! Jonathan Saunders for Topshop:




Louise Goldin for Topshop:




They actually have a section on their website called "Boho-Tech:"




I can't help but think of Annabella Lwin.
80's Techno-Tribal!!!!!!!!!!!!
