Hollywood celebrated it’s finest on February 28th and, as always, there was plenty to feast our eyes on, at least from the viewer's perspective. Although the Academy Awards are dedicated to celebrating the best dramatic, directorial and technical achievements made in film, there was of course a lot of emphasis placed on the fashion of the night. As expected, pretty much every celebrity in attendance delivered, arriving in the most elegant and frequently outrageous ensembles.
1. Emily Ratajkwoski
Fashion model, Emily Ratajkwoski, oozed crazy sex appeal in this black, sheer strapless mermaid gown. The main fragment of the dress appears to look like an old-fashioned swimsuit, and the sheer part appeared to be an added layer piece, which hits at her waist and reaches down to her feet, where it flared out at the bottom. She was giving us major #legsfordays in this piece.
2. Brie Larson
Brie Larson, now an Academy-award winning actress, wore a sweet, salmon colored off-the shoulder dress. Her look is completed, of course, with her Oscar in hand.
3. Sara Sampaio
Portuguese model, Sara Sampaio, wore a lovely long-sleeved couture gown designed by Zuhair Murad. The bodice of the navy blue-purple piece was embellished with sequins and is further complimented by a red lip.
4. Miranda Kerr
Miranda was giving us major #bodygoals in this photo. Firstly, her abs are a-b-s-olutely killer and the cutouts of her red dress fit in all of the right places to compliment her slim figure.
5. Rachel McAdams
Rachel looked pretty in pink in a sparkly body-hugging halter dress designed by Naeem Khan.
6. Alicia Vikander
Alicia looked gorgeous in a sequined long-sleeved dress complimented by minimal jewelry. With her first ever Oscar in hand, this night was surely one to remember.
7. Priyanka Chopra
Priyanka Chopra, an Indian film actress, singer, and producer, among other things, was absolutely rocking this two-piece gown by Jenny Packham.
8. Hailee Steinfeld
Hailee Steinfeld is a triple threat in the industry, I mean she can act, sing and dance - is there anything she can’t do? We have yet to find out, but we doubt it. At the event, she looked ever glamorous in a sheer, black dress.
9. Gabrielle Union
Gabrielle Union is serving up some major fierceness in this LBD (little black dress), with slits coming down on either side, exposing her toned legs. Her side-swept bangs also frame her face perfectly.
10. Jessica Biel (plus the one and only, JT)
Jessica Biel looks effortlessly gorgeous and fresh-faced in a sparkly grey gown, with a wrap skirt and a strategically placed leg-baring slit.
11. Kerry Washington
In a quick turn around, Kerry Washington went from a structured Versace dress to a more relaxed, comfortable dress, with a plunging neckline, of the same designer. The added pop of yellow on the straps, makes this dress very youthful.
12. Jennifer Lawrence
America’s sweetheart, J-Law, has become an omnipresence at these events, which recognize the best in film. Here she seems to have been playing it simple, yet versatile in a fun, black two-piece with a cropped top.
13. Marisa Tomei
Bright gold is definitely Marisa Tomei’s color, as she looked effortlessly beautiful and bright in this dress designed by Marchesa Notte. The overall look is further complimented with green studs and a peach lip.
14. Diane Kruger
This sheer sequined gown with a halter neckline, designed by Reem Acra, is practically a work of art, and it looked that much more of a masterpiece worn by Diane Kruger.
15. Emilia Clarke
While this dress appeared simple on the surface, there was a particular
type of beauty in its simplicity. Emilia Clarke wore the dress with grace and confidence, and of course a charming
smile!
16. Margot Robbie
As always, this Aussie babe dressed to impress, and this particular night was no different. Wearing a plunging, embellished gold-colored gown she looked truly stunning.
17. Elizabeth Banks
Elizabeth Banks looked gorgeous in this Ralph & Russo gown, which was made even more breathtaking with the addition of a cape.
18. Mindy Kaling
The silhouette on this dress accentuated Mindy Kaling’s curvy figure perfectly. An impressive smoky eye, a red lip, curly and wavy hair pulled her whole look together.
19. Gwen Stefani (& Blake Shelton)
Hand-in-hand with her new fiancee, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani was quite a sight in red. She completed the entire look with a matching red lip and clutch and a diamond bangle.
