-- It’s only a few more days till the Academy Awards and Vogue’s editor at large Andre Leon Talley is hoping for a red carpet that’s a bit riskier. ‘I get so tired of people on the red carpet wearing the same borrowed jewelry, same dress with train and a few little girls with messy hair,’ Talley told Martha Stewart on her daytime talk show Wednesday. ‘I want to see people like Cher. She came like she was on her way to Las Vegas. I want to see people who take risks with their Oscar dresses.’ Are you listening, Hollywood? [StyleList]
