The Academy Awards 2014

The 86th annual Academy Awards were last night and though the live red carpet coverage was a huge disappointment–seriously E! what happened?!– the fashion on said carpet was not.

Olivia Wilde in Valentino and Jason Sudekis in Prada.
The couple showed why they were among the cutest of the night! How adorable is Jason taking a minute to admire and take a picture of his girl on the carpet?


Jennifer Lawrence in Dior.
My queen had everyone bowing down last night when she showed up in this red peplum gown. The princess seams made the dress fit like a glove, her hair was styled to perfection and her jewelry was simple and elegant. If you know me you know I love a necklace worn to the back and this is her second time doing it, with a $2 million Neil Lane necklace no less.

Here she is at the Vanity Fair's Oscar After Party in Tom Ford.
It was a great change to see her out of Dior for once!

Kate Hudson in Atelier Versace.
Stunning is an understatement. Jaws were on the ground when she stepped out of her car last night. The color, shape, texture and cape couldn't be more flattering or fierce.
Seriously, I want a cape. Now.


Best Actress Oscar winner Cate Blanchett in Armani Prive.
I think this gown looks better on TV than in photographs. It's the movement and sparkle that adds to the beauty.


Naomi Watts in Calvin Klein.
This is my Top 3 Best Dressed of the night. I've been obsessing over all white outfits recently and this look is no exception. Her necklace was bold, yet simple and complemented her look rather than over powered it.

Charlize Theron in Dior.
The other face of Dior, Charlize looked amazing in this structured gown. Don't let her fool you–there are nude shoulder straps attached. The neckline on this gown is sexy and elegant. Her $15 million dollars worth of diamonds doesn't hurt the look, either.


Emma Watson in Vera Wang.
Another star following the black dress trend, this two toned gown was as beautiful as the girl wearing it. The red lip popped against her pale skin and dark dress. We also can't stop thinking of her and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a couple after seeing them present together.


Sandra Bullock in Alexander McQueen.
The first of many navy gowns of the night. This look was classy and sophisticated and the draping was very flattering. Her hair and make up combo was one of my favorites of the night.



Amy Adams in Gucci.
Navy is the perfect color for her poorly styled red hair and creamy skin. Tiffany jewels completed the look. Sometimes less really is more with this A-Lister. This is the first time this season that she deviated from her 70's inspired looks. She said she wanted to do something that felt like her and that she would be comfortable in. We love her decision!

Lady Gaga in Versace.
Thought I am not sure why Mother Monster was on the red carpet because she didn't actually go into the Dolby Theatre to watch the show, but rather watched it with her Godchildren's father Elton John at his annual Oscar viewing party, I was more than happy to see her there. She is the face of Versace and represented the brand wonderfully in this light, airy pink gown. I could've done without the scarf, but whatcha gonna do?


Lupita Nyong'o in custom Prada.
The movement and color of the dress are beautiful, but I can't help but hate the headband. She doesn't have any hair! It doesn't make sense and the band takes away from her beautiful mini ear cuffs. The Oscar winner also gave a memorable heartfelt acceptance speech: "No matter where you're from, your dreams are valid."


Jessica Biel in Chanel Haute Couture.
Dripping in Tiffany diamonds, this shimmery nude gown was a red carpet dream. I also think this was a gown that wasn't done justice in photographs. I also think I would have rather seen her husband–OUCH!, it still pains me to say that word–Justin Timberlake escort her down the carpet, but I may be biased, so whatever. Her look was effortless and chic.


Portia de Rossi in Naeem Khan.
Wife of host Ellen DeGeneres, Portia was a show stopper in this gown. She was one of the first to arrive on the carpet and it was a great start to the night. On trend in white and flawless hair and make up.

Kelly Osbourne in Badgley Mischka.

Let's hear it for the boys!
The men have really stepped up their game this awards season. From textures, patterns and colors, they are taking more risks than ever and I have no complaints.
Zac Efron in Calvin Klein.
His pants may be a little too short, but with a face like that, we'll forgive him.

Leonardo DiCaprio in Armani.
He may have not won the Oscar, but he does top my Best Dressed list in this navy suit.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Calvin Klein Collection and his company Hit RECord's logo button.

Jared Leto in Saint Laurent.
He did the cream jacket the best way of the night. I wish it would have been a black shirt underneath, or maybe a duller-white shirt, but the red bow tie and diamond buttons on his shirt make this look just as perfect as his ombre hair.

Kevin Spacey in Burberry.
Most men have been doing just a navy jacket with black pants, but the House of Cards star chose to go all the way with this look.

Matthew McConaughey in Dolce & Gabbana.
This now-Oscar-winning star has been one of my favorite men of the season, and last night was no different.

Well, that's it. Award season has come to an end. The emptiness has already taken over and I am unsure what there is to look forward to now. Thanks for sticking with me through the season! Until next year, kiddies.
