The Academy Awards...the most glamourous night in Hollywood where film's elite don gorgeous couture and walk down The red carpet.
As usual, there were the hits and the misses, but this post is dedicated to my favorite gowns from the Oscars.
My personal best-dressed: Gwyneth Paltrow.
How absolutely STUNNING does Gwyneth look in this cloaked Tom Ford gown? She definitely took a fashion risk, but without the cloak the dress completely stood on its own merit. I also loved her sleek low ponytail and neutral makeup.

My unexpected choice: Kristen Wiig.
I would never have guessed that the Bridemaids star would make my best-dressed list, but I thought this J. Mendel gown was gorgeous in both the color and the detailing. I LOVED her hair color and loose waves as well!

Not surprisingly: Emma Stone.
She is probably my favorite new actress and I find her to be so unique and stylish. I always look forward to seeing what she'll wear on the red carpet, and she definitely did not disappoint in this loud Giambattista Valli gown.

Safe, but pretty: Cameron Diaz
This wasn't the most daring gown by any means, but the detailing at the bottom was beautiful and I thought this Gucci dress looked amazing on her.

The knockout: Rachel Smith.
I am in love with the super rich color of this gown, and the style of it is SO flattering. Her hair, makeup and jewelry could not be more perfect either! I'm jealous!

The dazzler: Stacy Keibler
To me, this Marchesa gown gushed classic Hollywood glamour, and in my opinion Stacy had the prettiest hair and makeup of the night.

The fashion newcomer: Jessica Chastain.
The Help star dazzled on the red carpet in Alexander McQueen, and if this gown is any indication I'm definitely looking forward to her future red carpet choices.

The wildcard: Milla Jovovich.
I really loved the sparkle and the one-shoulder design of this white Elie Saab gown.
