While its plunging neckline means this dress won’t be on everyone’s best dressed list, the gorgeous pleated detailing I spotted as Olivia Wilde exited had me swooning.
A halter neckline, slinky slip-dress silhouette, mega side slit and a subtle hint of sideboob(!) make this emerald gown a red-carpet stunner.
Beyond the smoking-hot hue, this deep (or navel-grazing) neckline is the stuff Oscar moments are made of.
An oft-snubbed colour, seafoam makes a triumphant return with this fairytale creation. Plenty of floral embellishments make this gown truly incredible.
For those who aren't into puffy confections, this dazzling sequinned gown channels a '70s-glam goddess. Spaghetti straps and an open back only add to the fab factor.
The timeless column silhouette gets a makeover with this spectacular blue train and cap sleeves on our girl Mindy.
True to her goth red-carpet roots, Rooney Mara aced this lace number, complete with diamond keyhole detail and ruffled slit. Bonus marks for her on-point hair and dramatic dark lips.
Sleek and statuesque, this one-shoulder tangerine dream was a favourite. Also: Check out the matchy-matchy coral lip!
Though a balloon-mullet hemline doesn’t exactly say Oscars, this yellow frock on Alicia Vikander is spectacular. Love the silver heels and nonchalant anti-updo that make this look so modern.
The idea of an Oscar-worthy pantsuit sounds interesting, but Lady Gaga went a step further with this gown-trouser hybrid. The cascading folds and structured bodice are beautiful, and no one other Gaga could pull this one off.
