Oscar's Best Dressed List

Sure, the bodies of works up for awards, were outstanding, at last night's 85th Annual Academy Awards. But for some of us, the real contest happened offstage, on the red carpet.  The stars were out in their finest glitter and glam. I am sure you have your favorites.  
Here are mine.

Zoe Saldana

Presenter

Alexis Mabille dress; Roger Vivier Sandals.

The dress was spectacular while in motion...

loved the structure.

Charlize Theron

Presenter and Performer

How gorgeous was she? This Christian Dior

Haute Couture bustier gown was seek and sophisticated.  The pink gown she wore for the 

dance number was special, as well.

Jennifer Lawrence

Nominee for Best Actress in a Leading Role for Silver Linings Playbook.

Dior Haute Couture pale pink and white silk bustier ball dress. Pretty in pink, and a real confection of sweet layers.  The dress even looked lovely as she fell (the poor girl) on the

stairs.  Shall we blame Brian Atwood for the 

shoes that may have failed her? The Diamonds

by the Yard back Necklace was the evening's best accessory.

Nominee for Best Actress in a Leading Role for The Impossible

Naomi pulled off a hard to wear without looking

cheap, Giorgio Armani gown done with gunmetal sequins.  Loved it, but her under

pinnings at the waist may have been showing.

Jennifer Garner

Supporting husband Ben Affleck, 

nominated for Argo

A Gucci dress surprised from the back.

In a sea of soft and muted colors, Jen certainly

had a feminine fashion moment.

Amy Adams

Nominee for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for The Master

Her Oscar de la Renta gown in pale grey seemed to go on forever.  Very young Hollywood.

Anne Hathaway

Nominee for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Les Miserables

Pretty and pixie-like in pink Prada, Anne's gown was understated from the front with a sexy back.  Only one problem with her look.  Were

those nipples I saw? They make covers for those things!

Jessica Chastain

Nominee for Best Actress in a Leading Role for Zero Dark Thirty

Jessica got the overall look just right.  Her Armani copper color gown matched her hair and makeup perfectly.  If Oscar was copper, she would have resembled the statue.

 Giuliana Rancic

Red Carpet Host

Best black dress in my book. Designed by

Rafael Cennamo, it did need a little more jewelery.  Loved her extension-free new hairdo!

But don't take my word for it. See for yourself

who won, wowed and wore it best.
