Black Swan's Natalie Portman, nominated for Best Actress is swimming in happiness. Her entertainment career started with dance lessons at 4 years of age and theatrical roles.

Oscar nominee for 1994's "What's Love Got to Do With It", Angela Bassett can deliver pure panache in a Butterick 5323.
I adore this 60's upswept hairdo on her also! I hope to see her more on the big screen.
I can easily imagine "Blue Valentine's" Michelle Williams wearing a McCall's 6170 asymmetrical jacket.
She reminds me of Mia Farrow here.
I prefer her with longer hair as in her "Dawson Creek" days.

Dream Girl Jennifer Hudson would look gorgeous in a shirtdress by McCall's 5547. I adored in her "American Idol" and even more so now. I think she sings so more beautifully than the ones in the current mainstream of popular mainstream.

Hilary Swank would loo like a Milliondollar Babe and not one of the boys in a Kwik Sew 3474.
Fashion-model turned actress Cicely Tyson still looking fabulous in a Butterick dress. I recall my mom adoring her back in the 1970's. Her credits include the soap opera The Guiding Light (1966), "A Man Called Adam" (also from 1966, with Sammy Davis, Jr), The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman (1974), and a 1994-1995 TV series called "Sweet Justice" in which she played a feisty lawyer. In 1972, she was nominated for her performance in "Sounder". Ms. Tyson is looking still looking fashion-model fabulous at 77.
Former supermarket employee, a Grease 2 star, and a three-time Oscar nominated Michelle Pfeiffer can charm more than those fabulous baker boys wearing a wrap dress from Butterick.

From "Star Trek: The Next Generation in 1991", "Kiss the Girls" in 1996, "Crossing Over" in 2009 and "Tooth Fairy" with the Rock in 2010, Ashley Judd can just be casual in a Burda knit top from February 2010.

Butterick 5320's ruffled dresses
Zoe was also named “Face of the Future” by MaxMara and she did not have to be in Avatar blue!
Sanda Bullock can definitely wear a sheath dress like McCall's 5927.
With her "winning" look in last year's Oscar's for her performance in "The Blind Side".
McCall's 5929 seems like a lovely shirt pattern. Bangs look fine on this model.
A vanilla creme colored sheath can focus on a woman's best features.
200(Nine) was the year for Penelope, with her movie "Nine". This gown can reach to the vanilla sky.

Oscar winner Halle Berry can wear something as daring as Vogue 1047 by Guy Laroche
or as demure as a dress by Bellville-Sassoon, Vogue 2880
She is more suited to attend a queen's ball, not a monster's ball when she won the Oscar in 2002.
Halle won lots of rave reviews in an Elle Saab gown this week.
Former beauty queen contestant, Halle can wear anything, even offbeat as this indescribable outfit at this year's Golden Globes and still look stunning.

Fashion flashback, a 1970's halter dress
Was this style inspired by Cher?
McCall's 6075 evening dresses. With enough sparkling beads, jewels and other accessories, you can Mackie-ize your gown and channel your inner diva. Viva La Diva!
Before Lady Gaga and Madonna, there was Cher. Already what I call the "Cher Flair" was there.
Cher during a magazine photo sessions in the late 1960's and/or early 1970's??
1987 was a magical year for Cher. She made a comeback with the hit "I Found Someone" and she won an Oscar for her performance in "Moonstruck". She's one of the few singers who made a successful transition to the big screen.
February 2011's Burda is chanelling the glamourous Sophia Loren
Sophia won the best actress for "Two Women" in 1960. Amy Winehouse was not quite successful with Sophia's coiffure.
This lady still looks sensational 5 decades later!
Simple Hollywood glamour inspired by starlets as Audrey Hepburn,
Grace Kelly, and Elizabeth Taylor.
Audrey won Best Actress for 1953's "Roman Holiday". She was also nominated for Sabrina (1954), A Nun's Story (1959), Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), and Wait Until Dark (1967). She is definitely one of fashion's major style icons.
Grace with her award for Best Actress for "The Country Girl", 1954. She was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress in 1953 for "Mogambo".
Liz" Taylor won Best Actress for her performances in "Butterfield 8" (1961) and "Who's Afraid of Virgina Woolf" (1966). She just turned 79 on the day of the Oscars.
No matter what style you prefer: dressy,
business-like
or casual,
You are a "star" in whatever you create!
Wow! This is an awesome post! I can imagine that it took you quite a while to out together. :]
