Gosh it feels like we only just oohed and ahhed over last year’s Oscars, but sure enough the end of February always signifies may-jah glamour in Hollywood. It sparkles so bright we can almost see it from here! We gasped at all the right moments watching the parade of endless beautiful dresses and marveled over the poses, posture, glitz and glam.

 

Here are our team’s favourites, and the low-down of who they were wearing.

 

Oscar de la Renta was the choice of the night for Julia Roberts’ niece Emma. Love.

 

This Skyfall Actress’ dress took 120 hours to make, and was dyed with chamomile and golden rod, hand embroidered with vintage beads and chocolate wrappers! If that doesn’t deserve high praise for effort (and effect) then we don’t know what does!

 

The divine Naomi sparkled in an Armani Prive dress, Jimmy Choo shoes, Roger Vivier bag, and Neil Lane jewels.

 

Much debate about whether she should make the list. Not loving the hair but Charlize Theron’s Christian Dior Haute Couture dress, Roger Vivier shoes, and Harry Winston jewellery make up for the severe do. British Vogue has picked her as one of the most stylish, and they certainly can’t be wrong!

 

High impact glam was Jennifer Hudson’s modus operandi and it worked –she caught everyone’s eye for all the right reason in her Roberto Cavalli gown.

 

38-year-old Amy Adams looked totally gorgeous in an Oscar de la Renta gown and Moa jewelry. So Carrie Bradshaw!

 

Jessica Chastain selected a jawdropping custom Armani Prive dress, Christian Louboutin heels, and Harry Winston jewels; “I chose it because I’m such a fan of movies. I love cinema so much,” Jessica said of her dress choice. “It’s a very ‘Happy Birthday Mr. President.’ It reminds me of old Hollywood glamour.” We couldn’t agree more!

 

Can you believe she’s 43? Catherine Zeta Jones’ choice was a bulls eye. This Zuhair Murad dress and accompanying Lorraine Schwartz jewels were a big favourite of ours. Gold never gets old!

 

Nicole Kidman’s L’Wren Scott gown was a dramatic choice that glistened like liquid molten rock.

 

How divine is this? Pregnant Jaime King looks absolutely darling in her peach rosebud dress. One of our absolute faves!

 

Last but certainly not least… Seems like if your name is Jennifer and you work in Hollywood, you are destined to be successful (think Aniston, Lopez, Garner…). This 22-year-old is no exception, not only looking amazing in a Dior Haute Couture dress, but also taking the Golden Statue home. She tripped on her way up the stairs and stayed cool and calm – not to mention funny! We love this girl. “Today was stressful and I had no time to eat. I’m starving,” Jennifer said during press interviews. We think it’s fair to say that at 22 years old she absolutely owned the red carpet, and more importantly the entire night! Kudos to Miss Lawrence.
