fashion recap: the oscars

Its finally here… Hollywoods biggest night out, The 84th Academy Awards!

Lets not waste any more time, and get right into seeing some of the stars that shined on the red carpet this evening….

Of course I am beyond obsessed with Natalie Portman’s vintage 1954 polkadot Haute Couture Christian Dior gown.

Although I am not an Angelina fan, she always wows on the red carpet, and this velvet Atelier Versace number was no exception!

George Clooney brought his own oscar to the awards, the golden dipped beauty: Stacy Keibler in Marchesa. Kate Mara from American Horror story also stunned in Jack Guisso.

I am not too into Gweneth Paltrone either, but she also always delivers on the red carpet and looked stunning as usual in this simply chic white Tom Ford gown with cape detail

Fashion Police Correspondent, Guliana Rancic was flawless in her intricate beaded gown, while The Help star, Jessica Chastin has been playing it simple on the red carpet lately, but she stepped it up tonight in Alexander McQueen.

Beautiful Bridesmaids:

Kristin Wigg in J. Mendel, Melissa McCarthy, Maya Rudolph in Johanna Johnson, and Rose Byrne in Vivienne Westwood

Nearly Nude:

Champaign, creme and tan colored gowns sparkled on the red carpet. Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad, Cameron Diaz in Gucci, Louis Roe, and Rooney Mara in Givenchy

Show Some Skin:

Some stars opted for unique silhouettes that showed bits of skin in unexpected ways. Michelle Williams in backless Louis Vuitton, Kelly Rippa showed off shoulders, Sandra Bullock went backless in Marchesa.

Man Candy:

The men also dressed to impress: Joana Hill, Pharell Williams, Bret Mckenzie and Michel Hazanavicius.

Party Crashers!

Although these starlets did not walk the red carpet, they still dazzled at the Vanity Fair and Elton John Oscar Parties.
