And the wiener is ...

Oscar fashions really, truly, literally are going to the dogs.

Hollywood designer Lara Alamaddine and her husband and business partner Daniel Duiecki have been making chi-chi dog garments, and dressing movie dogs, for years.

As they did last year, the owners of the pet fashion label Little Lily will attend the Oscars and, within two days, come out with five new Oscar-night inspired fashions for dogs -- based on what the stars wore, according to a Reuters report.

Their Oscars collection from 2007 featured a bead-encrusted version of the Grecian-inspired Marchesa gown worn by Jennifer Lopez. Another was inspired by the avant-garde scarlet Balenciaga that adorned Nicole Kidman.

About Jill Rosen

Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
