Vintage Inspiration

February 23, 2009

As much as I love movies, I too was unable to sit through the Oscars lastnight.  HOWEVER – I never miss a red carpet and found Penelope Cruz’s vintage Pierre Balmain dress such a knockout! penelopecruz_vintagebalmainoscargown_2009_0223094

 

What an inspiration for us recessionistas and such a statement to make on the most glamorous day of the hollywood year – beauty comes through reuse! 

 Reminds me of the stunning vintage Dior Reese Witherspoon wore in 2006 ….reesewitherspoonvintageoscargown2006_022309

And hmm….not only did they both win Best Dressed honors, but also walked away Oscar winners….coincidence? 

Come on…..
