Jennifer Lawrence
It may be a show-stopper but this embossed leaf pattern design by Dior resembles a duvet.
But the main problem is it doesn’t suit the Best Actress winner.
The 22-year-old Silver Linings Playbook star should have opted for a simple silhouette.
Verdict: 3/5
Helen Hunt
This high street H&M dress might have been a wonderful statement if it had been ironed prior to the biggest event in the Hollywood Calendar.
Nominated for The Sessions Helen, 49, teamed the thrifty option with £50,000 ($75,000) worth of jewels.
Verdict: 1/5
Jane Fonda
Fabulous at 75, the Monster-In-Law actress shines in this yellow organza gown by Versace.
The tailored, structured, silhouette suits her and the power-shoulder tuxedo-shape top half is elegant, while the jewelled waistline is ultra feminine.
Verdict: 4/5
Nicole Kidman
Mick Jagger’s favourite American designer, L’Wren Scott, fails to hit the mark with this black and gold sequin fish tail dress.
The 45-year-old star also missed out – to Anne Hathway who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.
Verdict: 3/5
Anne Hathaway
This pale pink silk column dress by Prada would have been an outright winner but for the strange optical illusion caused by the side darting.
The 30-year-old winner of Best Supporting Actress teamed her dress with diamond accessories.
Verdict: 2/5
Jessica Chastain
With her alabaster skin and fiery hair, this tone on tone Swarovski jewel-encrusted gown by Armani Privé was a risky one to pull off, but Jessica, 35, triumphed by keeping it really simple: red lipstick and minimum jewellery makes the Dark Zero Thirty nominated actor look every bit the silver screen starlet.
Verdict: 5/5
Amy Adams
This may be the only event that you could possibly get away with this dove grey, tulle-layered outfit by couture designer Oscar De La Renta.
The 38-year-old failed to win Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Master – but she was a winner in the fashion stakes.
Verdict: 3/5
Renee Zellweger
This statuesque dress, mirroring the gong itself, was a simple yet elegant statement by the Bridget Jones star, 43, who wore the figure-hugging gold metallic gown by her favourite designer, Carolina Herrera, teamed with an unkempt hairstyle.
Verdict: 4/5
Naomi Watts
It was a night for sequins but nothing quite compared to this beaded one-shoulder design by Armani Privé. The sequin-goddess dress worked well for The Impossible nominee, who opted for an up-do and tear drop earrings.
Verdict: 4/5
Charlize Theron
The 37-year-old actress, who had to shave her head for her part in a new Mad Max film, was bang on trend with the peplum-shape detail and floor-grazing train of this Christian Dior bodice-cut dress, and looked effortlessly beautiful in it.
Verdict: 5/5
