Arriving off the back of what has been an impressively stylish award show season, there was much anticipation for the moment Lupita would walk the red carpet and she did not disappoint! Looking like a modern day Disney princess, Lupita wore a powder blue custom Prada gown with a dramatic plunging neckline and adorned with modest golden jewelry and headband, all of which looked simply breathtaking. And the best accessory she carried? Her well deserved Best Supporting Actress statuette!

The Oscars will be the last outing for JLaw for while so I was ready and waiting for something big. In a sea of navy, black and nude gowns, Jennifer shone out like a bold red beacon in this strapless peplum gown. Once again this is Dior (though I do believe she wore Tom Ford for the after parties!) but it’s definitely more in line with the sleek minimalist style she’s been channeling this season. Do I wish she wore a something more dramatic like last year’s look? Perhaps, but at least she didn’t fall quite as hard in this one (and that was probably more due to her sky-high Brian Atwood heels than the gown this time!).

The stars of Frozen, Idina Menzel and Kristen Bell walked the red carpet in outfits that could’ve looked at home on their animated counterparts. Idina went for a rich green strapless Vera Wang gown, with poker straight hair and some serious pout. Kristen wore a lighter and delicately embroidered Roberto Cavalli, with a glossy updo and pretty pink make up. Both ladies went for choker style necklaces and both looked stunning!

The D.I.V.A (The Daring In Versace Award) | Lady Gaga 

I’m not sure why Mama Monster was at the Oscars, but who the hell cares? Lady Gaga kept it surprisingly low key (well as low key as you can get if you’re Lady Gaga) in this figure hugging Versace gown. With a silky soft pink scarf thrown casually over her neck and off the back of her shoulders, Gaga walked the red carpet with confidence and her head held high!

Best Oscar Statuette Impression Award | Kristin Chenoweth 

Mini singing superstar Kristin Chenoweth seemed to draw her inspiration from the little golden statuettes, in this strapless Roberto Cavalli number. I definitely in love with the structured bodice and her neat little bob hairdo she’s working at the moment. A bright and bubbly, just like her!

Most Statuesque Look | Kate Hudson
Giving Gaga a run for her money at the ceremony Kate Hudson sauntered onto the red carpet in this magnificent Versace gown. With it’s mini cape and plunging neckline this gown is pretty much perfect on the very poised looking Kate.

The Velveteen McQueen | Sandra Bullock 

 Sandra looked effortlessly glamorous in a navy blue Alexander McQueen gown, styled with side swept curls and simple metallic accessories. The draping of the gown gives the effect of cascading of velvet and looks oh so classy.

Best Pops of Colour Award | Anna Kendrick 

Anna was – literally – pulling out her best Angelina Jolie impression with this J Mendel gown. Though everyone else seemed to be concentrated on the thigh high split, I was checking out the little pops of red that surrounded the look. From the embroidered beading on the bodice to her matching red lips and of course her silky clutch, these small touches kept this from being just another black Oscar gown.

The ‘Deja-Vu, But Still A Beaut’ Award | Amy Adams 

I commented on Twitter about how similar Amy’s look for the Oscars was to her Golden Globes ensemble. Nonetheless, this sleek and minimalist Gucci gown looks wonderful on Amy and I love the subtle hint of coral that’s coming through in her make up and jewelry.
