The rosette detailing on the Marchesa gown is gorgeous, but Heidi’s John Galliano is just breath-taking. I am in awe.

Helen Mirren was wearing the most beautiful of the red dresses, in my opinion.

I LOVED the red! Such a gorgeous way to make a statement.

I also loved Jessica Alba’s dress. Such a cute way to attend an event like the Oscars while pregnant.

What really got me was the fish lady. What was with that? I know she’s really pretty but every time I looked at her all I could think of was a fish.

I like Heidi’s dress. She has a body to die for. And I think Heidi always possesses everything I’m dreaming - beauty, grace, wealth, fame. Even her book “Heidi Klum’s Body of Knowledge” impacts on me a lot: dealstudio.com/searchdeals.php?deal_id=83673&ru=279 , no more words, her few words go right to the core of the topic: how to succeed in life and be happy. Absolutely a brilliant girl! :razz:
