Oscar's 2014 red carpet recap

And so after all the build up, the Oscars have finally arrived! Here's a short photo summary of the best dressed - because why would I want to look at the worst looks again?? Spoiler alert for Lupita fans: she did not make it in my list. Not that she looked bad (according to twitter, she looks like Cinderella actually!), but after her red Ralph Lauren A+ moment I was expecting something more than a flowy gown. So, let's get down to it! 

Anne Hathaway

Amy Adams

These two beauties top my list of best dressed of the night. And here's the catch..they're both in Gucci! Never thought I'd say this but..is Gucci truly back? I mean they were the only half-innovative non princes-like dresses of the night! Liking this minimal and edgier attitude a lot. 

Yes Kate Hudson! Yes this Versace borderline-bridal dress! One of the very few to take a fashion risk tonight with the white shiny fabric choice, fully matching accessories AND (last but not least) very dangerous shoulder pads and back draped cape. And it works! So yes to everything going on with her look because this was probably the most exciting/unexpected dress I've seen walk down that carpet tonight!

Cate Blanchett in Armani, being a dreamy and sophisticated vision - as she always is. 

White and nude palettes have been the most popular choices for tonight's fashion and it's no exception for Portia de Rossi - but, she does it flawlessly. With no unnecessary volumes and just the right proportions and print placements I think she kills it in this Naeem Khan dress. Newcomers, learn a trick or two from this woman please!

ll admit the first sight of Anna Kendrick in J. Mendel left me a bit indifferent, but then that back..!! That's all.

Jennifer Lawrence in Dior. Surprise? No. Success? Yes. The combed back hair and backwards necklace completes the whole thing and gives it a bit more of her 'cool'.

 

Julia Roberts in Givenchy. This woman is perfect. Every year she looks better and smiles better (yes, one of the few intrepid attendees to smile on the photocall!) 

 And to finish off here's Jared Leto (in YSL) just becausewhy! 

Bearing in mind that just as Ellen said, Jared's the most beautiful and well dressed of the night, who's your favourite otherwise?
