The Oscars are a time for actors, actresses, and designers to pile on the glamour as they sit among their fellow artists. Honoring the best films of the year comes with stars dressed to the nines and looking their absolute best — hopefully. Here are our top picks for the best and, unfortunately, worst dressed female celebs to walk the red carpet.
Best Dressed
Lupita Nyong’o
Lupita was absolutely stunning in her mint-colored Prada dress that flattered her figure precisely. Its deep-v cut and gorgeous silver accent belt made it a dress to remember. This golden glamour shot captured the beauty and style embedded within her look.
Sandra Bullock
Sandra kept it classic in a dark navy blue dress by Alexander McQueen that worked exceptionally well with her dark brown locks. The crossover design that met at her hip made it a figure-flattering design, and the simple yet elegant tone of the dress made it so iconic.
Naomi Watts
Naomi turned heads with her fabulous Calvin Klein gown that allowed her sparkly jewelry and red lipstick take center stage. The modest neckline, short sleeves, and chic clutch all came together to create an on-point ensemble.
Jennifer Lawrence
J-Law never fails to please us when it comes to being honest, fierce and powerful. Her look of the evening was a red Dior peplum dress, which lacked crazy sequins or sparkles by just letting the bold color do the talking. She paired it with a diamond necklace hanging down over her back, with equally shiny earrings and rings to match, and a sparkly silver clutch. One word: classic!
Worst Dressed:
Anna Kendrick
Even though we totally have a girl crush on Anna Kendrick, we weren’t so impressed with her J. Mendel dress. The all-over-the-place mismatch of lines, cuts and textures made it hard to know what to look at. The strange cutout in the middle didn’t exactly frame her midsection as well as it could have, either. At least her vamped up red clutch and dark manicure were looking fabulous!
Sally Hawkins
Sally’s long Valentino gown looked more like a piece of vintage tapestry than a chic and fashionable gown worthy of the red carpet. The absence of any color, and the equally lackluster tone of her shoes, made her outfit a lot less fabulous than what we know she’s capable of. Maybe next year, Sally!
