Style Winners & Losers - February 23rd, 2009
Stephanie McGrath and Christopher Turner
The week before the Oscars brings so many events and so little time. Steph and Christopher had a plethora of celebrity outfits to choose from, but managed to narrow it down to these fabulous Style Winners & Losers.

Halle Berry
Steph: Just once I’d like to see Halle Berry take a horrific misstep and show up in fuchsia tulle or hot pants or something…just as proof that there’s no such thing as perfection. Until then, however, I’m going to continue to tip my hat to the Hollywood star who always knows how to sparkle for the camera. The colour, subtly heart-shaped bust line and gentle ruching on the top half of this dress are all amazing. The one thing I’ll scold Berry for is the train-like detail that hangs from her behind like a stunted mermaid tail. Other than that? Well done…again.
Her Verdict: Style Winner
Christopher: I don’t think we will ever see Halle step out the door in hot pants and I am totally thankful for that. I think everyone will agree that this woman is a style icon and worthy of the hat tipping. The strapless Reem Acra dress that she wore to the 2nd annual Essence Black Women bash in Hollywood is drop-dead gorgeous. I love the colour on her and the gold metallic floral print is truly divine. While you’re iffy on the folded detail down the back, Steph, I have to admit I actually love it!
His Verdict: Style Winner

Ew I am so sick of VB and her stupid pose, she looks like she's possessed and is being forced that way. Paris is a joke, Halle is the best, she looks gorgeous. Agree tho on Dita, love it but w/o bow!

Ok - Paris Hilton's dress is a laugh - i hate it, and the headband is ridiculous. As for Victoria Beckham, she does look skinny, but excellent. Love that look!

does anyone else think that Victoria's dress looks like she just stepped out of a Flinstone episode?

OK you two. I'm getting old and my memory isn't what it was, but aren't these the same outfits and comments that I saw last week or am I psychic?
