Jessica Chastain in Custom Armani Prive: Jessica looked St-St-STUNNING! last night in her Custom Armani Gown. The Gold Beaded Strapless Gown fit her to perfection. Nobody can make a Beaded Gown like Armani and he proved again that he is the master of the Red Carpet!

The light chestnut color of the the dress matched her hair to perfection (not an accident, I'm sure!)

And speaking of Hair....and make-up, it was classic "Old Hollywood" Glamour. The Veronica Lake Hairstyle with the Red Lip and lined eye was gorgeous!

What I love about this dress is the crystal beading over the Gold Colored Satin. Giorgio Armani certainly knows how to make a gown SPARKLE!!

Amanda Seyfried in Alexander McQueen: Amanda wore a custom Alexander McQueen Gown to last night's Academy Awards. It was a Halter Neck Gown in a Blush Color with Golden Embroidery.

I'm sure that if you were looking at this dress up close and were able to touch and feel the beautiful craftsmanship it would be breathtaking, but on the Red Carpet it did not have much of an impact. It was sort of "blah" and washed her out. I feel that she continually wears these pale colors over and over again.

I would have loved to have seen this gown in a Deep Plum with the same gold embroidery detail. Now that would make a statement!

Amanda was another actress with a case of the "frizzies". I understand not wanting the hair to be "too done" but this takes it to a whole different level! I'm always surprised that they leave the house thinking that this is an Oscar Worthy Hairdo!

Kristen Stewart in Reem Acra: Kristen Stewart wore this Creme Devore Velvet Strapless Gown with Organza Ruffle Detail. This was a big MISS for me. It's not that it was a bad dress, but it was her overall look that didn't work for me.

 Jennifer Hudson in Custom Roberto Cavalli: Jennifer Hudson chose to wear this midnight blue beaded Roberto Cavalli Gown to last night's Oscars. It featured long sleeves and a high slit but still showed off JHud's new trimmed down figure beautifully. It was not one of my favorite gowns of the night, but her stylist said she had 2 Cavalli dresses to choose from and went for the more subdued gown because she wasn't a nominee and was just performing.

I say a Diva should ALWAYS look like a Diva on the Red Carpet! I would have liked to have seen the gown she decided NOT to wear.

Her hair was flawless and those earrings were gorgeous! But....is that her black bra peeking out above?!


Either way, she looked beautiful and she KILLED IT with her performance on stage!

 Kerry Washington in Custom Miu Miu: Kerry's Miu Miu Gown was one of my favorites of the night. Mainly because of the beautiful coral color. While many actresses chose more muted hues or black, Kerry stood out amongst the crowd with this unexpected color.

 The beaded top bustier section had a lovely vintage quality (that Miuccia Prada is known for) and the nude and gold beading set off against the bright colored skirt was beautiful.

She completed the look with a matching Fred Leighton clutch, delicate make-up and very subtle diamonds.

Good Job Kerry!
