Academy Awards Red Carpet 2011

It's Oscars time! As is well known, the 83rd Academy Awards were Sunday night. Congrats to the winners, but more importantly congrats to the 11 ladies (Anne Hathaway x2) featured above, as they are Les Deux's best dressed of this year's Oscar ceremony. No time for small talk about who won what; continue on below the jump for larger pictures and critiques.

What the what?

I'm such a loser. So behind the curb. How did I miss the memo that one of Riccardo Tisci's models in his fall couture show is a) his personal assistant, and b) transgender!? Yeah, it's for real.

While, in this photo, Lea T.'s qualities seem to be a little more man-like, I never in a million years would have suspected anything of her(?) until I read this article from The Cut.

I did myself a little stalking at The Fashion Spot, figuring that she'd either be a bad model or radiate masculinity. But despite my glaring discriminations, Lea does an intensely good job at modeling. I mean, just check out her fall campaign for Givenchy and see for yourself.

Poor Iris Strubegger (who I hate), Lea (on the left) totally outshines you.
