The most beautiful lady at the Oscars

"The most beautiful lady at the Oscars this year was definitely Soraya Burnat (wife of Oscar-nominated filmmaker Emad Burnat) in her Palestinian embroidered dress. Such a lovely outfit to see on Hollywood's red carpet! :)"

We spent a lot of time delightedly checking out Mrs Burnat's outfit. It comes across as a white and pink ensemble in the photos taken that day, but from closer examination we think the cross stitch embroidery is more red than pink. Which would make this thob quite traditional in style, but with some lovely contemporary features - you can see similar designs currently in fashion in stores like Al Jriri in Ramallah. There's an awful lot of embroidery in this dress, which means an awful lot of love and hard work went into creating it!

If anyone has a photo of the back of the dress, please please share it with us? The way you "read" a Palestinian dress, it's impossible to have the complete story without seeing the embroidery on the back!

Meanwhile we all agree you can see the most handsome man on the red carpet that night in the centre of the photo below!
