This dress is a statement and a structural masterpiece.
Artistically beautiful and bold, with a sense of humor and fantasy.
This is what couture is, and while it is a bit avant-garde for most tastes,
thank goodness for Charlize, as she is no shrinking violet.
Applause, applause!

What picture for woman to show her kids when she's 60.
Classy Beauty.

She looked beautiful in those colors contrasts with her complexion. But those flowers on the boob's LOL!
You couldn't take your eyes of the flowers. It took away from her!

Charlize is simply a gorgeous woman, but that dress was positively pornographic. What on earth was the designer thinking? Her figure is flawless and the gown could have been stunning, save for the two targets perched right on each breast.

Too bad they don't have pics of Heidi Klum's Oscar party dress. She looked a mess. I don't understand it.

To me, this was (hands-down) the best dress of the night, and Charlize looked utterly amazing in it...love her makeup, too. She looked ethereal.

She looked fantastic. She is one of a very few woman who have the guts who try and pull of such a beautiful look. American women are so insecure. Kudos to Charlize and J-Lo for attempting to look different and looking gorgeous!!!

That dress was really ugly with those things hugging her breasts.

Charlize Theron could show up with her hair in rollers wearing and old robe and fuzzy slippers and still knock them dead.

What's going on there under her behind? It's a mess in the back and a mess in the front. I thought this was an awful dress.

One of the best dresses on the red carpet, original and real couture.

She looks like she has purple cinnamon buns on her ta-ta's! It's embarassing to even look at it!

The violets,orchids, mulberry and lavenders seemed to hold sway at the Oscars this year.
It's a very "Spring" color and was actually quite refreshing.
