The 2017 Oscars that took place were a grab bag of surprises, what with the unexpected victories, unexpected losses—oh yeah, and the Steve Harvey moment that was heard around the world when La La Land was announced as the winner of an Oscar that belonged to Moonlight. The thing that wasn’t all that surprising, however, was how stunning the stars looked on the red carpet pre-awards-show-catastrophe. Check out the 10 best gowns to hit this year’s red carpet!
10. Jessica Biel
This year, Jessica Biel decided to adhere to the “champagne toned gowns only” memo and looked like an Oscar herself.
9. Isabelle Huppert
The “Elle” star looked sophisticated in her Armani Price gown, which looked great paired with her vampy lip shade.
8. Taraji P. Henson
Henson S L A Y E D in her dark velvet gown, she should’ve gotten an Oscar just for showing up tbh.
7. Darby Stanchfield
Can we take a moment to appreciate how simple her dress is? It’s so clean! So fresh! This dress would not stay clean for more than three minutes if it were on me!
6. Chrissy Teigen
Daaaaaaaamn Chrissy, back at it again with the ultra-high thigh slit! Teigen looked like a goddess per usual in her sparkly champagne number.
5. Hailee Steinfeld
Moment of silence to honor the heaven sent beauty that is Hailee Steinfeld. Can we just talk about the fact that she literally never looks anything less than radiant? She looks like an ACTUAL princess.
4. Emma Roberts
She looks like she came straight off of an old Hollywood movie set yet somehow she looks like a fashion pioneer. Someone find an explanation for this phenomenon and get back to me ASAP.
3. Olivia Culpo
Again with the vintage glam! Her gown screams “The Great Gatsby”. It is as delicate as her silhouette and I am so here for it.
2. Karlie Kloss
How on earth can a human look so perfect? Probably because she’s from a galaxy far far away because this gown gives off some major Princess Leia vibes. Kloss looked amazing in her Stella McCartney ensemble.
1. Emma Stone
It’s only fitting that the number one spot on this list would go to the winner of the Oscar for Best Actress. Emma looked timelessand conveyed the same nostalgia for old Hollywood as La La Land did in this golden gown paired with soft waves and a rusty red lip color.
