Sunday’s Oscars will be notable for many things, including the possible triumph of a silent movie and the return of Billy Crystal as host after Eddie Murphy’s flameout. But most notable, of course, will be the gowns. This year fashion brands have been poised to fight over new hopefuls Jessica Chastain, Michelle Williams, Rooney Mara, Emma Stone and Bérénice Bejo, along with the usual slew of A-list talents. But how each of them decides on their frocks, jewels and accessories – or what they might be paid to do so – remains secret.
奥斯卡颁奖晚会的很多事引人注目，其中包括无声电影夺得最佳影片奖以及由于艾迪•墨菲(Eddie Murphy)突然请辞、比利•克里斯托(Billy Crystal)再次出任主持人等。但最引人注目的当数各色衣妆粉墨登场。今年各大时尚品牌铆足了劲，除了按例关注众多大腕外，还竞相打杰西卡•查斯坦茵(Jessica Chastain)、米歇尔•威廉姆斯(Michelle Williams)、鲁妮•玛拉(Rooney Mara)、艾玛•斯通(Emma Stone)以及贝芮妮丝•贝乔(Bérénice Bejo)这些希望新星的主意。但这些新星穿什么品牌的衣服、佩戴何种品牌的珠宝首饰与配饰——或者说能得到多大数额的代言酬劳，在颁奖前，有些甚至在颁奖后，仍是个谜。
