Gold Dresses for the 2013 Oscars



We're just slightly disappointed with the gold frocks ( or lack of) on show last night. Usually the Oscars highlight how amazing one can look in gold but this year not many were brave enough to give it a go.

Hats off to these three who did fly the flag. Catherine Zeta Jones looked exceptionally glamorous in her gilded golden Zuhair Murad creation. Naomie Harris looked striking in a dress that was apparently made from recycled materials ( zippers and chocolate wrappers - unusual) and Jessica Chastain rocked the 'Happy Birthday Mr President' look in her Armani Prive creation.

I think Heidi Klum should get the Gold Frock award however for the slinky number she wore to Elton John's party. Go Girl! Somehow she looks shocked that people should want to take her photo. The man with the phone is brazenly going in for a close up - we'll see that on Twitter...

Can this really be Christian Dior?



A friend of mine ( knowing that I love anything to do with gold...) showed me the bargain set of cutlery that she picked up at a local car boot sale. Unbelievably one of the knives is branded 'Christian Dior'. Have they ever done cutlery? Could this be real?
