updated
Let's join Barbie and friends to honor the ladies of motion pictures and film from past and present.

Two-time Oscar winner Dame Elizabeth Taylor turned 79 on the day of the Oscar's, February 27, 2011.

White Diamonds Barbie from 2000

The "Between Takes" Barbie (2000) from "The Hollywood Collection"

"Princess Diary" star Anne Hathaway joined James Franco to host this year's Oscar show. Her credits include The Princess Diaries, The Devil Wears Prada, and 2010's "Love and Other Drugs".

"Go Red" Barbie

With her "winning" look in last year's Oscar's for her performance in "The Blind Side".

It's a "no" from me for the bangs on Sandra, especially on the red carpet. She looks like Chrissy Hyndes from the rock/pop group "The Pretenders".

"Hollywood Nails" Teresa doll with "bangs" hairstyle

Sandra is not just cruising, she's going full fashion "speed" on the red carpet runway looking like a stunning siren in a red Vera Wang gown at this year's Oscar's.

Also cruising on the fashion highway is Ferrari Barbie from 2000.

The "Prancing Horse" in rhinestones sits atop Barbie's hair.

Natalie Portman, this year's Best Actress winner for her performance in "Black Swan" wearing a red Rodarte in 2009.

Natalie's entertainment career started with dance lessons at 4 years of age and theatrical roles. This is her first Oscar nomination and her first Oscar win. Her credits include 1994's "Leon", Star Wars Episodes 1 (1999), 2 (2002) and 3(2005) as Queen Amidala, 2003's "Cold Mountain", and 2008's "The Other Bolelyn Girl".

The Swan Ballerina from Swan Lake, Classic Ballet Series, 2001

"The Swan" Barbie

Oscar nominee for 1994's "What's Love Got to Do With It", Angela Bassett can deliver pure panache in

anything she wears.

I adore this retro look on her, especially with her 60's upswept hairdo! I hope to see her more on the big screen.

"Pop Life" Barbies

Best Actress nominee, Michelle Williams of "Blue Valentine" during her "Dawson's Creek" days:

She reminds me of Mia Farrow here.

At this year's Oscar's dressed in Chanel.

As the seductive Marilyn Monroe in an upcoming movie, "My Week with Marilyn Monroe"

Marilyn Monroe "How to Marry a Millionnaire" Barbie from 2001

Marilyn Monroe Barbie from 2008

Dream Girl Jennifer Hudson has been looking more eye-dolizingly gorgeous. I adored in her "American Idol" and even more so now. I think she sings so more beautifully than the ones in the current mainstream of popular mainstream.

Jennifer in this year's Grammy Awards.

Jennifer looking tantalizing in a tangerine Versace gown at this year's Oscars.

American Idol "Simone" doll from 2005

Hilary Swank looking like a Milliondollar Babe and not one of the

boys at this year's Screen Actors Guild in Versace.

Wearing Gucci at this year's Oscars

At the 2005 Oscar's wearing the "talked-about" Guy Laroche backless gown

"Hollywood Divine" Barbie

Fashion-model turned actress Cicely Tyson still looks fabulous at 77.

Looking fashion model ready is the 1980 repro of the Black Barbie.

I recall my mom adoring her back in the 1970's. Her credits include the soap opera The Guiding Light (1966), "A Man Called Adam" (also from 1966, with Sammy Davis, Jr), The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman (1974), and a 1994-1995 TV series called "Sweet Justice" in which she played a feisty lawyer. In 1972, she was nominated for her performance in "Sounder".

Former supermarket employee, a Grease 2 star, and a three-time Oscar nominated Michelle Pfeiffer can charm more than those fabulous baker boys wearing a chic black blazer and skirt.

Barbie Basic doll with "Lara" face mold

Angelina looking "uninterruptedly" stunning in Versace at this year's Golden Globes.

The Emerald Barbie from the Barbie Birthstone collection.

Jennifer Lawrence Best Actress nominee for "Winter's Bone" gracing the red carpet in black at this year's Golden Globes.

Also walking the red carpet is the "Charity Ball" Barbie from 1997.

Pretty Lady Julia Roberts can still "deliver" style beyond some "Mystic Pizza" even in a sleek white suit designed by Stella McCartney while promoting "Eat, Pray, Love"

At the Golden Globes in 2010:

My favorite look from Julia Roberts, wearing vintage Valentino.

I thought Julia and Benjamin made a nice couple like Barbie and Ken.

Legally Blonde Reese Witherspoon can still "Walk the Line" with pizazz anywhere she goes. Here she is in Atlanta to help celebrate Avon’s 125th Anniversary during the 2011 Avon Global Believe Tour, January.

Attired in Giorgio Armani Prive at this year's Oscar's

200(Nine) was the year for Penelope, with her movie "Nine". This gown can reach to the vanilla sky.

Sporting "big" hair in 2006.

My Penelope Cruz doll customized by doll artist Juan Albuerne, also from Spain.

Here's a "Biutiful" couple, Mr and Mrs Javier Bardem. Penelope is looking radiant in a L'Wren gown

Nicole Kidman, nominated for her Best Actress performance in "Rabbit Hole" attired in ruffles.

Nicole is Australian just like this Barbie from 1993.

Hallie Berry is more suited to attend a queen's ball, not a monster's ball when she won the Oscar in 2002.

Halle won lots of rave reviews in an Elle Saab gown this week.

Former beauty queen contestant, Halle can wear anything, even offbeat as this indescribable outfit at this year's Golden Globes and still look stunning.

2010

As a James Bond vixen:

Former Laugh-In dancer/comedienne Goldie Hawn received her own "golden" statue for her supporting performance in "Cactus Flower" in 1969. She also was nominated for Best Actress in 1980 for "Private Benjamin"

Cher with Sonny during the 1970's

Before Lady Gaga and Madonna, there was Cher. Already what I call the "Cher Flair" was there.

Cher during a magazine photo sessions in the late 1960's and/or early 1970's??

1970's Cher doll from Mego. This doll does not do her justice as Mattel's versions.

Cher Barbie from 2001:

1987 was a magical year for Cher. She made a comeback with the hit "I Found Someone" and she won an Oscar for her performance in "Moonstruck". She's one of the few singers who made a successful transition to the big screen.

This model from February 2011's Burda Style magazine (consisting of sewing patterns) is chanelling Italian glamour a la Sophia Loren.

Sophia won the best actress for "Two Women" in 1960. Amy Winehouse was not quite successful with Sophia's coiffure.

Italian Barbie from 1993

At last year's Golden Globes

This lady still looks sensational 5 decades later!

Simple Hollywood glamour inspired by starlets as Audrey Hepburn,

Grace Kelly, and Elizabeth Taylor.

Audrey won Best Actress for 1953's "Roman Holiday". She was also nominated for Sabrina (1954), A Nun's Story (1959), Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), and Wait Until Dark (1967). She is definitely one of fashion's major style icons.

Grace with her award for Best Actress for "The Country Girl", 1954. She was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress in 1953 for "Mogambo". Two years later, she married the Prince of Monaco and retired from acting at the age of 26.

Liz" Taylor won Best Actress for her performances in "Butterfield 8" (1961) and "Who's Afraid of Virgina Woolf" (1966). During her career, she received 5 Oscar nominations and many other awards. She turned 79 on the day of the Oscars.
