OK, no surprise that Halle Berry rocked this dress. She is Halle Berry after all. But the Marchesa gown was absolutely ethereal and had such softness that it made this over 40 stunner look even more gorgeous than usual.
Doesn't matter if it is Valentino: the nude color is a wash-out on Florence Welch.
Gwyneth Paltrow may have an iffy career as a country singer, but her position as a fashion icon was safely sealed in a dress (and hair) that was reminiscent of how she looked in the '90s: a cool, minimal metallic Calvin Klein dress and stick-straight hair.
From the lovely lilac color to the lace-trimmed bodice, this lingerie-inspired gown by Elie Saab on Mila Kunis was a refreshing change of pace from the usual red carpet fare.
She may have won an Oscar, but Melissa Leo isn't going to win any fashion cred with this weird mirrored dress from Marc Bouwer.
Although other hues like nude tried to take over the red carpet at the 2011 Oscars, the dress color of the evening was definitely red. Jennifer Hudson wore her tangerine Versace gown (that showed off her smashing new figure) with purple shoes, while Sandra Bullock wore a strapless red Vera Wang gown (one of her best red carpet looks in recent seasons.) Presenter Anne Hathaway entered with a dramatic red gown from Valentino and newbie Jennifer Lawrence showed how to wear red the new way: minimally, in Calvin Klein.
How to make lovely Scarlett Johansson look a mess on the red carpet? Take a flat-colored, amethyst lace dress from Dolce & Gabbana and pair it with messy bed head. Forget the fact that colored lace (as opposed to neutral black or cream) is almost always a bad idea, the color blended with the red (more like fuchsia!) carpet and it made her look drab.
Everything about Michelle Williams was classic and elegant, from her short platinum hair to her sleek, short-sleeve Chanel dress. While other actresses went with elaborate beaded gowns, this simple beaded dress in a soft neutral was absolutely flawless and fit her style perfectly.
As stunning as Cate Blanchett is, the avant garde Givenchy gown smacked a bit too much of gladiator armor (although the colors were lovely.) Kudos for taking a risk, but this beaded dress was a bit too funky for the Oscars.
From her tank-style red Calvin Klein dress to her soft, natural waves and makeup, Jennifer Lawrence was the picture of modern elegance. She completed her minimal outfit with simple, toned-down earrings and bracelet.
Although she commented on the red carpet that she loved the structure of this Dior gown, Nicole Kidman's dress was something of a structural disaster, with entirely too much going on (in all the wrong places.
From her lovely retro hair to her timeless Armani gown, Reese Witherspoon's Oscar look seems like a a nod (in a good way!
