Night at the Oscars

      Neutral tones, major embellishments, baroque accents, and curve-hugging silhouettes were everywhere at last night's Academy Awards.  Regardless of which stars took home an Oscar, these leading ladies get my award for best dressed of the night.
Jessica Chastain lit up the red carpet with her flesh tone Armani Prive gown.  Her glimmering gown paired with red lipstick and vintage waves screamed old Hollywood glamor.  Surprisingly, the nude colored gown gave her skin a radiant glow, rather than leaving her fair complexion looking washed out.  The diagonal sequin and beaded applique highlighted her curves and made her body look phenomenal.  She definitely redeemed herself in my book from that lack-luster pale blue Givenchy gown she wore to the Golden globes, which gave her the unflattering appearance of having saggy boobs.

Amy Adams looked gorgeous and whimsical in this pale blue gown by Oscar de la Renta.  The scalloped neckline and train of chiffon ruffles were reminiscent of a true fairytale.  Adams polished off her magnificent look with a classic updo and diamond drop earrings.

Reese Witherspoon graced the red carpet with a colbalt blue and black satin, colorblock dress and accessories by Louis Vuitton.  The stunning ensemble simply exuded old Hollywood glam and made Reese look every bit of a movie star.  Even her hair looked amazing with her luscious locks styled into a wavy side part.




Jennifer Lawrence brought the glamor to the red carpet in a Dior Haute Couture structured, pale pink mermaid gown with a seriously tiered skirt.  The "Silver Linings Playbook" actress donned beaded Chopard jewels, which dangled down her back in an extremely unconventional and avante garde fashion.

Naomi Wattts dazzled on the red carpet in her grey metallic Armani Prive gown- by far one of the most unique and stunning looks of the night.  While most of the stars on the red carpet kept it simple, Naomi chose this risky one shoulder dress with a sexy cut- out design on the left side.  The risk paid off for the Australian beauty as she looked extraordinary in this edgy, yet elegant dress.  Naomi's body was so statuesque in this gown that her figure rivaled that of the golden Oscar itself!

Unfortunately, Anne Hathaway gets my pick for worst dressed of the night. I was seriously underwhelmed by her backless pink satin Dior gown.  When you're nominated for multiple Oscar awards you're supposed to bring it sister! Sadly, this dress lacked that wow factor present in all of my best dressed picks.  Without a plunging neckline, pop of color, or shimmery sequin applique this dress fails to compete with the night's winning looks and certainly is not red carpet worthy.
