The epitome of Hollywood glitz and glamour — the highly anticipated Academy Awards show — aired last night, concluding the 2007-2008 season. And while the iconic, little golden statue may have been the insignia of the Oscar’s for nearly a century, it’s the celebrities who grace the red carpet posing in their couture creations that we never miss the opportunity to dish about! And last night, the 80th Annual Academy Awards show did not disappoint. Here are a few of the best dressed nominees and attendees of the night.
Baby Got Black:
While their dresses may not be “little black dress” material, stars like Nicole Kidman, Hilary Swank and Ellen Page welcomed the red carpet to the dark side. Yet it was Jennifer Garner who prevailed with the trend, donning a dark hued Oscar de la Renta gown — with lovely details of ruffles and lace at the hem, Mrs. Affleck was a stunner.
Emerald Elation:
Leading lady Amy Adams stunned in an emerald green, fishtail Proenza Schouler gown. With her wavy tresses and adorable gold, vintage-styled evening bag, she was the essence of enchanting in an adorable “only a Disney fan would think of” way, Amy vaguely resembled another green tailed, redheaded princess; going for the “Ariel goes to Hollywood look” perhaps?
Ladies in Red:
Walking the carpet in gorgeous red gowns, stars such as Katherine Heigel, Anne Hathaway and Heidi Klum channeled old Hollywood in the most glam of colors. While many questioned the teen queens attendance, Miley Cyrus looked fabulous in a bright red Valentino dress. With its sweetheart neckline, cap sleeves and the adorable bow tie in back, Miley certainly surpassed the little red riding hood effect.
Champagne Chic:
In a Nina Ricci champagne colored ball gown, Keri Russell gracefully illuminated the rainy afternoon. Though the dress’s corset top was fitted and neat and its bottom abundant, Keri proved a very elegant Grace Kelly-like ensemble.
Pretty in Pink:
Though she is known for her funky, daring picks when it comes to red carpet attire, Cameron Diaz looked positively regal in Dior by John Galliano frothy pink gown. The gown’s layers were youthful and the light creamy pink gave Cameron a classic yet fresh look for the red carpet.
Plum Perfection:
Due to deliver her baby in the spring, Jessica Alba dazzled in a plum Marchesa gown. Not only did the royal color suit her wonderfully, her trendy braided hairdo was the perfect addition for her princess maiden ensemble.
