Olivia Wilde kept it sleek and simple on the red carpet, with a high necked, black Valentino number. It was loose, but fitted, showing off Wilde’s baby bump gorgeously. We all hope we can look half as good pregnant.

Amy Adams exuded retro glamour on the red carpet. Her navy, custom-made Gucci gown fitted her nicely, and was accented beautifully by her Tiffany earrings. Adams said she was channeling Kim Novak through her hairstyle, which tied the old school feel of the oh-so-perfectly.

Kerry Washington’s pregnancy style is off the charts. Her Jason Wu gown was to die for, and the only word that came to mind when the presenter stepped on the carpet was goddess, especially with her half-down, wavy hair.

Black gowns were definitely having a moment on the red carpet, and Margot Robbie’s Saint Laurent frock put her near the top of the list. She also wins for most dramatic red carpet transformation – check out the brown tresses!

Jared’s hair achieved iconic status early on in the season, but his style has been making headlines as well. White suit jackets were a noticeable trend with the fellas on the red carpet, but Leto’s burgundy bow tie with his white Saint Laurent jacket made him a definite standout, especially when he accepted his award for Best Male Supporting Actor.
