RED CARPET WATCH: 84th ACADEMY AWARDS

Once and for all, the Academy Awards proved that for the greatest moments in celebrity fashion, one must be tuned in to watch the red carpet and the ceremony. In Hollywood, the Oscars is the night to shine.

And while Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie proves everyone that they are no doubt the brightest and hottest twosome in Tinseltown, there were a number of stars who definitely went to step it up and shine on the red carpet.

Here are my picks for the Oscars Best Dressed:


Who else better shall we start with but Angelina Jolie wearing Atelier Versace. We may have already seen her in black on numerous awards night, but we can't help it, she always looks at her best in black. We need not fix anything that ain't broken. And seriously, when she puts her hand on her waist and shows off her legs like that, you know for sure that the battle is over.


While others are sort of not convinced that Gwyneth Paltrow in a white caped gown by Tom Ford is a major fashion winner, I did not think twice about it. She looked very regal, pristine and every inch a winner. Her hair and make-up perfectly matched her dress. It's almost minimalist but not really. 


Rooney Mara in Givenchy Haute Couture brought the house down and ended the unofficial fashion competition on the red carpet with a homerun win. She is the no. 1 best dressed in my list this year. Her delicate white dress accentuated by her bold red lippie and full bangs is just totally spot on. I am so in-love with this girl's red carpet looks, she never fails to impress me. I can see her rising to celebrity fashion icon status in no time.


It may have been compared to Nicole Kidman's Balenciaga dress in Oscars 2004, but I think Emma Stone's red with big ribbon/bow Giambattista Valli gown is very beautiful and elegant. Her hair and make-up perfectly compliments her dress too. 


Oh Hail McQueen! The very beautiful Jessica Chastain wearing Alexander McQueen is a very lovely sight on the red carpet. You can never go wrong with a McQueen creation. (FACT) I just wished though that she had a more regal and well kept updo.


GOLD. This year's Oscar Best Actress Meryl Streep truly is golden in this Lanvin creation. I love her earrings and shoes, but her best accessory of the night undeniably is her golden Oscar trophy. Viva la Streep!


Octavia Spencer looked absolutely gorgeous in her Tadashi Shoji embellished gown. I really admire full-figured women who knows how to dress well. (read: Adele)


Stacy Kiebler 's role is very simple: be a gorgeous arm-candy to Geroge Clooney. Done and done. Her Marchesa gown with the flower detail on the side could have been cheesy but she definitely pulled it off. She looked absolutely stunning!


Viola Davis may have lost to Streep for the golden statuette but she definitely won in the fashion category with this green Vera Wang dress. She was glowing on the red carpet. I also love the fact that she ditched the weave and wig. Beautiful!


One thing I am very sure of about Michelle Williams is that she never disapoints on the red carpet. And she did it once again with this lovely Louis Vuitton dress. She is a breath of effortless sophistication amidst a sea of stars in full force effort to look all glitzy and glamorous. Good job, Michelle. (PS. I love your hair so much, please don't grow it long ever again!)


Last year's best actress winner Natalie Portman looked like a prim-proper sweet ladybug princess in this 50's  Vintage Dior dress (read: WOW! VINTAGE DIOR). Though a dressier locks could have served her dress better, she still looked beautiful and radiating. 


Out of the sea of white dresses ont he red carpet, Milla Jovovich shone like a supernova in this embellished white Ellie Saab dress. I love everything about her look. The drama, the glamour and the effortless beauty. Done, done and done!



Now let me know who were on your best dressed list. Until next year's Oscars! :)
