Penelope Cruz in Versace with Chopard diamonds was one of the few women who really looked stunning on the red carpet.  Hair, make up, jewelley, flawless and the colour was perfect for her skintone. 

Cate Blanchett pulled out all the stops with an Armanai Privé gown and Lorraine Schwartz diamonds.  Perfection

Kate Winslett wore lime green Valentino with yellow Choppard diamonds.  Although Kate is one of VIPglamour’s favourite actresses this wasn’t her best look, it washed her out and photographed drabbly

Reese Witherspoon continued her post-break up perfection look with atiered Nina Ricci gown, a 38 carat Van Cleef and Arpels diamond bracelet and long straight locks.

 

Nicole Kidman went with an odd Christmas present theme in a crimson silk crepe Balenciaga column dress with an oversized bow and a custom L’Wren Scott diamond bracelet but somehow managed to carry it off while pregant BFF Naomi Watts worked the old school glamour look

 

Jennifer Lopez looked happy with this lilac silk Marchesa gown but VIPglamour wasn’t so sure, it kind of made her look pregnant

   

Mabye these two were laughing off the fact that they both got it so wrong.  Disappointing Oscar red carpet attempts from both.  Beyonce in a crystal-adorned one-strap Armani Privé gown and Lorraine Schwartz jewels while Gwyneth wore this montrosity that was an apricot tulle-and-chiffon Zac Posen gown

How can anyone not like Rachael Weiz, looking like the Oscar wothy actress she is in a platinum satin Vera Wang gown, accessorized with a softly curled updo and a dazzling diamond vintage Cartier pendant

One of the cutest pictures of the night, Litte Miss Sunshine herself Abigail Breslin and Oscar pro Meryl Streep

While this was one of the scariest picures of the night, with Nicole working her best Wicked Witch look on little Abigail

 

Best Actress Helen Mirren looked flawless, as always in a floral print Christian Lacroix gown topped with embroidered lace and, in back, a jaw-dropping 62-carat Chopard diamond brooch.

Jessica Biel described her Oscar de la Renta gown as “comfortable and chic”, but we weren’t impressed, cute and all as it was this is the Oscars, make an effort, this is not the MTV Movie Awards

 

VIPglamour wasn’t sure about this off-the-shoulder white satin Valentino gown that resembled a nicely structured napkin but how can you not love someone who was smoking weed with Drew Barrymore the day before on a beach in Hawaii and then shows up in $2.9 million worth of Cartier jewelry at the Oscars the next. 

Bond Girl Eva Green should have stayed at home instead of showing up as a hot mess at the Oscars

Ok we’ll give Maggie some slack as she did just have a baby but why go with this too tight navy Proenza Schouler gown with a one-strap neckline and feather-trimmed hem.

 Jennifer Hudson has showed up at every awards ceremony this season looking flawless and then she does this.  This crazy 80’s cropped jacket over this pretty boring and safe  Oscar de la Renta chocolate chiffon gown was just so disappointing.  This was her big night and she went with this, at least she had Fred Leighton diamonds on.

TomKat showed up at the Vanity Fair party afterwards.  Scientology does flawless

Anne Hathaway, why?  Didn’t the Devil Wears Prada teach you anything?

I

Victoria Beckham and Kelly Osbourne make you not so sad you didn’t receive your invitation to the Elton John party.  Scary

 

Kirsten Dunst, was this a dare?  It’s the only logical reason that VIPglamour can come up with why someone would wear that in public.
