Award presenter Angelina Jolie looked every bit the sexy movie star in a black strapless Atelier Versace gown with a sky-high leg slit. She completed her classic Hollywood look with a pop of red lipstick. Did we expect anything less than total glam from Angie?
Best Actress nominee Michelle Williams channeled her inner Marilyn Monroe with an “orange salmon pink” Louis Vuitton dress she said felt right. The many tiers on the dress reminded us of a decadent cake, and the rhinestone side-hook is very “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend.”
Mila Jovovich had a clear vision for what she wanted to wear to the 2012 Oscars—something “very clean and very structured.” That vision turned out stunningly in the form of a white, off-shoulder Elie Saab gown.
George Clooney’s girlfriend Stacy Keibler resembled an Oscar statuette in her gorgeous, gold off-shoulder Marchesa number. We bet George was happy to know he’d be taking home this award after the show.
Bridesmaids’ beauty Rose Byrne was all sultry sparkles in an off-shoulder gown by Vivienne Westwood. Rose has been channeling her inner 70’s vixen at all the red carpet events this season—maybe it’s the bob?
Best Actress nominee Rooney Mara traded in her typical all-black for goddess white Givenchy—and pulled it off like an angel. Apparently she didn’t even pick the dress until Sunday morning.
Best Supporting Actress nominee Melissa McCarthy opted for historical-inspired glam with a blush colored Marina Rinaldi gown with a bejeweled neckline. Melissa plans to start work on her own plus-sized clothing line soon.
Emma Stone looked like a present in a fuschia Giambattista Valli gown with a gathered bow at the neck. Too bad Nicole Kidman wore almost the exact same dress at last year’s show.
Fashion risk-taker Gwyneth Paltrow wore a dramatic cross between a Queen’s robe and a superhero costume at this year’s awards. We adore her white Tom Ford cape and dress—way to go, Gwyneth.
Jennifer Lopez put the glam back in the Oscars in a cut-shoulder, sheer-striped gown from Zuhair Murad. “I enjoy playing dress up,” she said. Recent divorce? What recent divorce?
Best Supporting Actress winner Octavia Spencer sparkled like a winner in a white Tadashi Shoji gown. “My dress chose me,” she said, praising the designer’s work.
Cameron Diaz looked hot in a strapless Gucci gown that was all business at the top and a party at the bottom. She explained that picking the gown was a “thoughtful process” as there were just too many gorgeous ones to choose from.
“The Help” actress Jessica Chastain showed up at the Oscars accompanied by her grandmother—how sweet! Her black Alexander McQueen gown with intricate gold detail was more regal than sweet, though—and looked fiercely beautiful set against her redheaded locks.
