W Magazine Best Performances: The Strange Girls

It is the Oscars on Sunday. I can't wait. Mostly for the red carpet dresses, of course, but also to see who takes the gongs and who makes the jokes. In the mean while the stylist of all stylists, Edward Enninful, has taken his pages of W Magazine and styled some the best actors of the year for a picture story by Lynn Hirschberg. Shot by photographer Mario Sorrenti. I will show you loads of these today. But I wanted to start at home, so to speak. With the more obscure girls looking beautiful. As they do. A little celebration of the strange or unexpected. Starting as is fitting with the Queen of beautiful oddness, Tilda Swinton. She wears Dolce & Gabbana knickers, Louboutin shoes and Falke stockings.

Rooney Mara and Kirsten Dunst are solid leaders in the darker films genre. Both have won awards this year for their performances. Rooney's floral top is by Nina Ricci.

Finally, the Oscar nod that nobody thought possible. A plump funny gal who burped and farted her way through her standout role. The divine Melissa McCarthy wearing Cartier jewels and being so perfectly and gorgeously real. Love her.
