Oscar Night Fashion Recap 2011

The Academy Awards is The Event that showcases some of the most stunning fashions, and also some of the strangest choices. This year there were a lot more show-stoppers than flops.

Reds

Anne Hathaway in ‘Archival’ Valentino was the youngest host in Oscar history. Her gown's bustle was adorned with beautiful flower detail. Jennifer Hudson blew the red carpet away with her show-stopping tangerine Versace gown paired with diamond bangles.

Last year's Oscar darling Sandra Bullock sizzled in a beautifully structured strapless Vera Wang, while Penelope Cruze sparkled in L'Wren Scott. Hard to believe she just had a baby!

Glitz and Glamour

Fashion icon Gwyneth Paltrow made a big statement in a Calvin Klein Collection metallic dress, accessorized with gemstone earrings and brooch. Amy Adams also chose L'Wren Scott with her midnight blue sequined gown. And Hailee Steinfeld kept her red carpet winning streak in this classy sequined dress by Marchesa.

Halle Berry in crystal and organza tulle dress by Marchesa is covered up but still looks sexy and sultry. Hilary Swank wowed in Gucci Premiere Couture.

Purples

Scarlett Johannson wore a lace-wrapped amethyst Dolce & Gabbana, while Black Swan castmates Mila Kunis and Oscar-winning Natalie Portman were stunning in Elie Saab couture and Rodarte respectively.

Flops

We love Helena Bonham-Carter for her risk-taking, but this time she stuck to basics in renaissance-inspired black. Marisa Tomei did take a risk in vintage Charles James, but we weren't feeling the large tulle layers and unfortunate sweetheart neckline.

Reese Witherspoon looked a little too 'Barbie at the Prom' in Armani Prive, while 'Winter's Bone' actress Jennifer Lawrence's Calvin Klein Collection gave us a Baywatch double-take. Nicole Kidman went for a structured and daring Dior gown... but once again we were not thrilled.

Whose Oscar fashion did you like best?

Mila Kunis' purple dress had a few of us scratching our heads though. The lace on the boobs looked like tatoos or a strange skin condition on stage. Natalie Portman looked adorable. Also a head - scratcher was when they referred to Gwyneth Paltrow as one of the hottest new country singing sensations. She has a pleasant enough voice but it doesn't sound trained and certainly isn't earth shattering. And what the heck was Cate Blanchett wearing? Very very strange.

Maybe if there weren't flowers I'd like it a bit better. I also loved Hilary Swank and Mila Kunis. They were runners-up in my books! And I'll have to agree with you on Jennifer Lawrence's gown - that does look like Baywatch!
