The Oscar’s red carpet fashion scene is always a visual treat. Celebs come dressed to the nines and designer names get dropped a hundred times as people ask who they’re wearing.
There were a lot of classic, romantic styles while there were a couple of outrageous and “blah” designs. There were a lot of golds and florals on the red carpet which is a refreshing break from the standard black gowns often seen in these events.
Here are some of my picks for the best dressed list:
Sarah Jessica Parker’s Chanel dress is simply divine. The simple pastel yellow bodice is nicely complemented by the silver flower appliques.
The back design is even more interesting with the bottom applique giving the gown a sexier silhouette.
Best Actress winner Sandra Bullock looked stunning in her metallic gown. The Marchesa creation had delicate flower embroidery which balanced the futuristic silver color.
Mute this gown’s color into white or off – white and this design could be perfect for a summer wedding dress. Lovely. 
Cameron Diaz channeled old-fashioned glamour with her gold strapless gown by Oscar dela Renta. I loved her delicately curled hair and the bold red lips which made sure her face was still the main attraction.
The metallic gold ribbons on her gown’s bodice are such a cute and girly touch.
Yes, I’m a Twilight fan so Kristen Steward will definitely be on this list. Her midnight blue gown is special for me because it was made by Pinay designer par excellence Monique Lhuillier.
What’s interesting about Kristin’s look is she let her face carry all the drama and she had no other jewelry other than this diamond bracelet.
Hats off to Rachel McAdams for daring to defy the typical mold of solid – colored gowns. Her printed strapless gown by Elie Saab was definitely an eye – catcher.
Would have wanted this gown to be less dusty – colored and more pastel or bright – colored. But Rachel carries the gown perfectly.
Demi Moore is such an inspiration for me. The goal is to look as hot and as young as her even when I hit 40. This ruffled peach gown by Versace made her look even younger and fresh.
I love the simple clutch and the huge sparklers she paired with this gown. Did you notice that 5.5 carat diamond ring? Ashton must love her to bits.
All these ladies definitely looked lovely but the real stand out best dressed actress for me is… Anna Kendrick! The first time I saw this dress from the Academy Awards arrivals gallery, I was like… “WOOOW…”
She’s a vision in peach, she looked like a delicate yet sexy goddess.
This wasn’t her first choice though. She had a wardrobe disaster when the dress she originally wanted to wear for the Academy Awards didn’t turn out the way she expected. So she had to shop for another dress at the last minute and went with this flesh – toned frock designed by Elie Saab. She couldn’t have made a better choice.
I also loved how everything about her outfit blended perfectly. Her intricately designed bracelet and clutch…
Her ring…
And her shoes… I loved her shoes!
I’m saving these photos in my fashion swipe file in case I need a gown made.

I totally agree with all of your picks. I have to say that SJP’s Chanel dress was by far my favorite and I’ve seen some people put it on their worst dressed list? WHAT? It’s stunning and I was surprised that a shorter girl could pull off a dress that shows no shape, but I loved it.
i love sandra bullock’s dress. also, i absolutely love the back of sarah j parker’s dress. it’s funny because during our meeting yesterday, we were all talking about the dresses too. my boss was rolling his eyes…lol.
thank you for visiting my blog. will be visiting yours often and will add it to my list. hope all is well.
Haha… he must have been thinking “Women!” But the dresses really were gorgeous. I actually spent minutes browsing Oscar’s red carpet galleries just to see again what the stars were wearing. Some observers said Sandra Bullock’s dress seemed fashioned after the Oscar trophy, as if she was destined to win.
Thanks for visiting my blog too. See you around the blogosphere!
I liked best the dress of Sarah Jessica!
Fabulous ‘no? Not to mention her toned arms and flawless back. Now that’s a woman who ages beautifully and fashionably.
