Did you watch the Oscars? I didn't watch the whole thing (gasp! I know), but saw some fun highlights including Octavia Spencer winning Best Supporting Actress. An honor well deserved in my opinion. I am now even more determined than ever to see The Artist even if I have to drive 50 miles to find a theatre that is showing it.
But, we all know the most important part. The clothes!
My very best dressed has to be Jessica Chastain. I absolutely love her. She is so talented in The Help and The Debt, basically anything she does. I knew if I waited long enough she would wear something amazing and here it is:

She absolutely nailed it. I love this dress. It's Alexander McQueen and apparently the embroidery is made from real gold, which is kind of awesome. I love her hair, I love her jewelry--canary yellow diamonds I believe. She just looks phenomenal. And, I love the cute photo of her with Milla Jovovich, another best dressed in my opinion, in Elie Saab (full length photo below).

And, you knew it was coming: Gwyneth!!!!

I think she looks just amazing and very much herself. Dressing (even for the red carpet) is at its core just a way to tell the world who you are. I find it very boring when people dress in a way they think they should and everyone starts to look like red carpet clones. Gwyneth Paltrow is wearing Tom Ford and I looooove the cape, personally. I also love that it is very much indicative of the coming season of fashion, the flip coin to all that embellishment, minimalism. Gwyneth has always been a minimalist and I love that she stayed true to her fashion roots with this look.
Speaking of non-conformists: Rooney Mara in Givenchy.

I'm sure people will hate on this dress, but I am obsessed with it. The back of it is just amazing and I adore the dainty fishtail paired with the structured bust. It's just really unexpected and cool, much like the actress herself.
Next, the golden couple, literally.

Well done, Miss Keibler. Not only do you have the most coveted boyfriend in the free world, but you knocked it out of the park in this gilt Marchesa number. Also, completely love this sideswept hairstyle with the asymmetrical design of her dress. It just looks effortlessly chic and so completely glamorous.
