The Academy Awards, better known as the Oscar's is Hollywoods biggest night seeing as it is one of the highest honors an actress/actor work towards recieving in their career. However, speaking honestly most, including myself only tune in for the most important thing: the fashion!
The red carpet countdown that leads up to the actual award show is the portion that captures all of my attention. Seeing the beauty and detailing in all of the couture gowns is what it is all about. This year in particular I feel that the majority of stars got it right this year. I can't think of one that was just completely terrible. No, everyone wasn't best dressed however I feel that most looks were really nice and some might have missed it due to a simple mistake of over accessorizing. (i.e. Lady Gaga and the red gloves and Scarlett Johansson and the oversized statement necklace.)
I have chosen my favorite looks from the Oscars below. They are in no particular order. These are just the ladies that without a doubt stood out on the red carpet, in my opinion.
Hope you enjoy! xoxo
Zoe Saldana
So simple. So chic. This simple blush form- fitting gown which was a custom Atelier Versace gown was the perfect fit. The actress who just gave birth to twins chose the perfect gown to show off her post-baby body. I always live by the motto "simplicity is key" and this look proves just how true that statement is. She looked absolutely stunning.
Rita Ora
Rita Ora caught me by complete surprise with this look. She looks so elegant and sleek that I couldn't leave her out of my best dressed picks. Dressed in custom Marchesa, this dress is gorgeous. The hint of gold embroidery gives the dress just the right amount of pop! Her sleek hair and minimal jewelry, just earrings pull the whole look together.
Solange Knowles
Now this list could not continue without an appearance from Ms.Solange. Many didn't appreciate the Christian Siriano design on her, but I was all here for it! The wide leg trouser with matching long tunic is so her style... I mean, she did get married in a wide leg jumpsuit. I feel that Solange's style is so unique and bold that it just works for her. I thoroughly enjoyed this look.
Lupita Nyong'o
Lupita kills the Oscars once again! In a custom Calvin Klein dress made with over 6,000 pearls, she looked like royalty in this dress. With minimal makeup and jewelry she allowed the dress to make a statement. This white color tone looks amazing against her skin tone. Stunning!
Rosamund Pike
Everything about this dress screams Oscar perfection! The gown designed by Givenchy is absolutely gorgeous. I love that she did a simple single strap heel with her hair pulled back and minimal jewelry. It allows the detailing of the dress to stand out that much more.
