Lets start with actress of the moment and also the new face of the Miss Dior Campaign (which I must add she looks duh-fuckin-mazing!! in) - Jennifer Lawrence - who naturally, wore Dior.
Jennifer also scooped up the award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her part in Silver Linings Playbook. And I think we all found her trip on the stairs as endearing as her quick wit and humour that she managed to retain as she was given a standing ovation and told everyone
"Thank you, you guys are just standing up because you feel bad that I fell. This is really embarrassing."
I do adore Jennifer, I really really do. I first discovered her in Winters Bone where she plays a harsh and raw role. I find her an honest and humble young lady. As a true fan of the books, I was rather apprehensive as I went to watch The Hunger Games, but she did not dissapoint me! So much better than the vampire slut Kristen Stewart who stands there angrily and sporting her trainers with her couture. Anyway, I shall not get sidetracked... Jennifer and the Oscars.
Jennifer looked stunning in a ivory drop waisted Dior Couture Gown.
All hail Queen Jennifer!

Next Up: Jessica Chastain. I am obsessed. I LOVED LOVED LOVED her as Celia Foote in the help. She was phenomenal in Zero Dark Thirty. I have yet to see her in Mama, which looks a little sketchy but has a nice rating of 6.5 on IMDB - always a good rating for a horror.
The Best Actress Nominee donned custom made Giorgio Armani and adorned herself with vintage Harry Winston. Tres Chic. She just oozes Hollywood Glamour.

Salma Hayek
Salma, as always is perfection. She wore an Alexander McQueen blue velvet gown with an embellished collar as well as a Cindy Chao jewelled hair piece, and on her arm is husband - Francois - Henri Pinault. Im having visions right now of wearing this piece to my wedding whilst walking down the aisle to Lana Del Rey's rendition of Blue Velvet...

Olivia Munn looked like royalty in her red Marchesa strapless gown with gold embroidered bodice. I do wish our Kate Middleton would wear something like this once in a while. Just for the irony. And also because if I was Kate, I would wear this.

Jane Fonda sported a Versace daffodil coloured dress with Jimmy Choo sandals and clutch. I hope to be able to wear this colour when I'm this age. She looks dreamy. And I do think the contrast of the yellow with the red carpet is just lovely.
Jane Fonda
Amy Adams looked very appropriate in a Lavendar Oscar De La Renta Gown. Thankyou Amy, some of the people on the carpet did need reminding that they are at THE OSCARS....ON A RED CARPET.

Next we go to Anne Hathaway, winner of Best Supporting Actress for her role in Les Miserables. Anne wore a pale pink satin Prada gown. As she's wearing Prada, not much more needs to be said on the matter. She does look happy.
Anne Hathaway
Amanda Seyfried - not usually a fan, of her or her style. However here she does look stunning. Maybe something to do with the Alexander McQueen lilac organza embroidered gown she's swathed herself in.
Amanda Seyfried
My feelings toward Jennifer Aniston in this piece remain neutral. Because it's Valentino and she's Jennifer Aniston and looks truly ecstatic and is glorious. But then theres just something not quite right here.
Jennifer Aniston
Charlize Theron wore a white Dior Couture gown and accesorised with Harry Winston jewels. She looks beautiful and classic. And shes totally pulling off the crop. I think she looked stunning with her shaved head and she's keeping it up as her hair grows back. Perfection.
Charlize Theron
And now for the less well dressed individuals of the evening
Halle Berry - yes she is a queen, she's gorgeous. But I think the trend "bold stripes" has seriously been misunderstood here. She is wearing a Versace sequin striped gown and is photographed here with Quvenzhané Wallis who is wearing Giorgio Armani and looking absolutely adorable. However more to the point, why was I not wearing Armani at this age?
Halle Berry and Quvenzhané Wallis
Next I move on to Kerry Washington. Yes she looks divine, her Miu Miu gown is beautiful. And she was truly stunning in Django Unchained. But is it ever ok to team Coral with Red?? Even if the clutch is Prada...
Kerry Washington
Helen Bonham Carter wears a monochrome gown with tiered skirt. And looks like a 15 year old emo going to a school dance and trying to make some sort of invalid point.
Helen Bonham Carter
Ok. Hugh Jackman looks classic. And his wife Deborra - Lee Furness looks very nice blah blah. I just think the whole "I'm a woman wearing a suit to a red carpet event" thing is really very tired. I'm not interested.
Hugh Jackman and Deborra - Lee Furness
Ahh and here we have Melissa McCarthy. The big hair is just so wrong. And that fabric with that figure? Horrendous! I hope she felt nice and comfortable within herself though.
Melissa McCarthy
Here we have good old morbid Adele wearing yet another shapeless black dress. Here she's wearing an embellished Jenny Packham gown with Harry Winston jewellery. I can never really tell if Adele actually looks bad, or if it's just because I detest her. But I guess for Adele, here she looks nice.
Adele
And for the worst of the night, we have way past it Helen Hunt. Wearing a dress by H&M. To the Oscars. Yes that's right, she wore a dress by H&M to the Oscars. And no, wearing 700,000 dollars worth of jewellery does not make up for this fatal error. Is she trying to be ironic? She's irrelevant. Also her dress needs pressing....
Helen Hunt
So there we have it. All those that are relevant or truly irrelevant. But either way, we all still wish we'd been slipping on some tear worthy couture and sashaying our way down the red carpet....
