Red Carpet Arrivals – An Open Thread
February 24, 2008 by Gayla McCord
While the rain has put a bit of a damper on the most glamorous hot spot in the world – The 80th Annual Academy Awards the limo’s are beginning to make their way to the Kodak Theater where the stars will begin stepping out in some of the most magnificent evening gowns of the season.
I’ll be hanging out right here on CelebAmour and would like to invite you to grab a nice cold beverage, a tub of popcorn and kick back right here on CelebAmour and discuss each star and their fashion as they arrive.
Here’s how it will work:
Tune in to E!
Leave comments on the stars as they arrive.
Over the next few days, I’ll be conducting a recap of red carpet arrivals and if you include a link in your comment, I’ll link to you in the post that features your comment and celebrity.
Comments are not limited — links must be legitimate and to quality sites or blogs.
What are we waiting for — let’s get this show on the road!
Who are you looking forward to seeing most?
I’m a little disappointed that Angelina Jolie is not going to be attending — anyone know the actual scoop on that?
Heidi Klum and Seal – Heidi is wearing a gorgeous red dress that’s up for auction after the awards ceremony. Anyone care to guess at how much it will go for? Is it for a specific charity? I didn’t catch that, if it was announced.
I’m looking forward to seeing what Miley Cyrus is wearing. Wondering is she’ll look 15 or 35.
As HOT as George Clooney is, his girlfriend looks like his daughter. She’s beautiful for sure — but SO young. I guess if you can do it and get away with it…
I was hoping to see Angelina’s cute baby bump again. So sad she won’t be there.
I sure hope she looks closer to 15 Julie. I don’t like to see Hollywood youth growing up too fast. She’s beautiful without the glam.
Do you think Angelina is going to really have twins or do you think the twins rumor is getting overused?
Whoo hooo there’s Dr. McDreamy! Did you see him? Who’d have ever thought he would grow up to be SO, well.. Dreamy?
George Clooney has certainly aged well.
Anne Hathaway looked beautiful! I love her in red.
Anne does look amazing! She wears pale well!
Everyone should age as well as George! And have well behaved hair!
I liked the red dress, and it looked great on her, howver the way the ruffle draped across her breast bugged me.
I’m not overly fond of the way Anne’s dress is draped under her arm and the ruffle looks like it was thrown on last minute.
My 10 year old daughter is sitting here naming all the stars. Maybe I should have her apply for a celeb blog.
She’s good!
Dwayne Johnson formerly known as The Rock is sure bringing IT tonight.
John Travolta and Kelly Preston – What about Kelly’s dress? I do then I don’t. I’m just not real sure about that number just yet.
I don’t think that shade of yellow is the most attractive for her — it’s a tough shade to wear.
Patrick Dempsey!!!!!!!
John Travolta called her dress orange. Hmmmmm…
Miley looks stunning and YOUNG! She wears her youth well
Jesica Alba!!!!!!!! My husband is panting
Miley does look really nice.
Tell your hubby to wipe up his drool.
Jennifer Garner — I didn’t recognize her. She looks SO beautiful. Not that she’s not every other time – but I’m so used to seeing her out in jeans with Violet.
Man, Miley gets a LONG ‘ol interview!
Keri Russell is wearing my personal favorite so far. I ad
I think Jessica Alba could have done without the accents across the bustline of her gown. It’s not like we all don’t SEE them getting bigger already!
Miley did a wonderful job in the interview. I like how she’s so focused on being a positive image for young girls.
Funny story about being sent to her room on HER bus. I had to laugh.
I agree. Keri’s dress is my favorite too. I’ve always been a big fan of hers
Jessica Alba definitely didn’t need those accents!
I like Keri’s dress as well. Classic and sexy, without showing too much boobage (which appears to be tonight’s trend).
I like how Jennifer Hudson is wearing white. Completely different from every one else. She looks stunning!
Tilda Swinton – ummm not sure what to say….
Who is that with Colin? A little close to be the mom.
She IS his mom! WOW
I hope I look that good when I’m her age.
Katherine Heigl looks very retro-ish — sorta channeling Marilyn Monroe.
Me TOO!
Lots of RED out there tonight.
Did you get a sneak peak at Penolope Cruz? She’s always another favorite on the carpet.
Jennifer Hudson really did look amazing. Good for her — especially after the disaster of last year.
Hey! There’s a party going on over here!!!
OK I HATE Renee Zellweggers hair! Please tell me she did that for a part she’s playing?!?!
Yes, Jennifer made up for last year that’s for sure.
Hi Jeanne!
@ Gayla – JHud was definitely a disaster last year. MAJOR improvement!!!
Renee’s hair is a disaster! I saw her messing with it trying to fix it. Not pretty at all.
Katherine has this way of looking like a completely different person on any given day. Must be nice! Liked the red on her too.
Okay, now we have to switch over to ABC for the show!! Woohoo!
Katherine Heigl is just amazing. She can pull off a bun, t-shirt and jeans.Makes me sick!
Hi Jeanne!!
Hate Renee’s hair. She looks so uncomfortable fiddling with it and trying to keep it out of her face. I do like the silver dress, though, at least the bit of it that I saw.
Hi Gayla!!!
Yeah, Renee’s hair is not great. I think if you have to fiddle with something and look uncomfortable, it’s definitely not worth doing.
Even as “silver” as it was, it wasn’t enough to distract from that HAIR. Poor girl.

thanks for stopping in and discussing the red carpet with me. I’ll have fun posting my favorites throughout the week.
Enjoy
Bye Gayla! It was fun.
Wow what a show. I loved watching the dresses and even liked Nicole Kidman’s dress. I didn’t think she’d make it. Hubby said she had too many jewels but I think it worked for her.
