Red Carpet Dresses

The world’s favorite leading ladies dressed to impress last night, pulling out all stops for the 2013 Oscars. As always, there were some hits and some misses in the eyes of fashion critics, but ultimately one stunner will go down in fashion history.
So which actresses and fashion trends were hits and which were misses Sunday night at the 85th Academy Awards?
BEST DRESSED
Sparkles dominated the red carpet at the Oscars, with stars like Naomi Watts in a gunmetal grey sequined Giorgio Armani dress, Catherine-Zeta Jones in Zuhair Murad resembling an Oscar statue, Halle Berry in a geometric silver and black sequined Versace dress, Stacy Keibler in a gray Naeem Khan gown and Nicole Kidman in a black and gold L’Wren Scott dress. These girls sparkled inside and out, offering some shine to the otherwise dull red carpet.But the ladies in white and shades of nude hit fashion homeruns with their gown choices. Big winner of the night Jennifer Lawrence, who scored the Best Actress Oscar, radiated in her Dior Haute Couture gown, and not just because of her big win. Even after her fall walking up the stairs to accept her award, no one could take their eyes off the 22-year-old actress. Or her backwards-hanging Chopard necklace. Please, don’t let this become a trend.Other ladies who awed in white were Octavia Spencer in her go-to designer Tadashi Shoji, Amanda Seyfried in Alexander McQueen and Charlize Theron in Dior Couture, in a strapless peplum gown slightly resembling Anne Hathaway’s from the 2013 Golden Globes. Speaking of copy cats, was it just me, or did Amy Adams’ Oscar de la Renta dress look quite similar to Zooey Deschanel’s Reem Acra gown at the 2013 Emmy Awards? Still, the red headed actress looked gorgeous with a simple updo and sparkly jewelry.
However, many leading ladies chose their go-to color for the night of black, like Adele in a sequined Jenny Packham gown and Salma Hayek in a gold collared Alexander McQueen dress. Samantha Barks, who donned an ultra-low V-cut dress by Valentino, stole everyone’s attention despite her small role in “Les Miserables.” Even more attention was garnered by Jenna Dewan-Tatum, whose daring choice to wear a tight black lace gown that showed off her pregnant belly, certainly deserved a nod.
The ladies in color were also some of the best dressed of the evening, like Reese Witherspoon in Louis Vuitton, 9-year-old Quvenzhane Wallis in Giorgio Armani Junior toting around her usual puppy purse and Jennifer Hudson, who almost scored No. 1 on our best dressed list, all in blue. Hudson, who performed her song “And I Am Tellin’ You” song from “Dreamgirls,” sparkled in a Roberto Cavalli gown that showcased her fit physique.
Then, of course, there was red, but none of these actresses blended in with the red carpet. Kerry Washington again chose Miu Miu but this time a coral-hued gown with a beaded bodice and Olivia Munn, who wore a red Marchesa gown with gold embroidery and a draped front. Best of all the ladies in red was, hands down, red carpet veteran Sally Field, who looked age-appropriate and glamorous in Valentino, setting an example of how exactly Hollywood should dress.
Saving the best for last, the best dressed of the night goes to … Jessica Chastain, who showed up extra early to the Oscars red carpet in a Giorgio Armani dress. She even caught New York Magazine’s Fug Girls’ attention, who tweeted, “I bet Chastain came early because she's like, ‘I look awesome; might as well let everyone look at me for a FULL two hours.’” The sequins in her rose-toned gown complemented her beautiful ginger locks, done up like Veronica Lake, and oozed classic Hollywood glamour thanks to a bright red lip. Despite not winning the Oscar for Best Actress for “Zero Dark Thirty,” Chastain certainly scored the gold on the red carpet.
Of course, not everyone could be the best dressed and many celebrities looked less than stellar for the 2013 Oscars, to say the least.
Throughout the years, celebrities have shown us many gorgeous looks and some fashion flops. But if one thing’s for certain, for better or for worse, the outfits will definitely entertainment and give us some fashion fodder for days afterward. And really, isn’t an awful outfit sometimes more fun than a great one?
Since the Oscars are so close, it’s time to revisit 20 of the most iconic red carpet dresses in history (21 if you count Miss Björk at the top). It’s just a small taste, so make sure to check out the full list below.
I could go on, but I think I’ll let the dresses speak for themselves. [via Marie Claire UK]
