83RD ANNUAL ACADEMY AWARDS BEST DRESSED LIST

After being slightly bored with the fashion at the Grammy Awards, it was simply delightful to be able to pick and choose five stunning gowns! The red carpet dawned many surprising trends for Spring 2011, most notably, the surplus of red gowns, form fitting pieces, and intricate beadwork to name a few!

5-Sandra Bullock in Vera Wang

The always funny and always classy Sandra Bullock showed up at the red carpet in a figure flattering Vera Wang gown. Her simple accessories, makeup and pulled back hair enable the dress to remain the focal point and really take over.

4-Cate Blanchett in Givenchy Couture

Cate Blanchett took a risk with this Givenchy Couture Spring 2011 piece. The silk chiffon lavender gown is embroidered in leather pearls and crystals. Combined with the structure at the shoulders, the dress is reminiscent of a piece of art, and is light and refreshing on Blanchett’s silhouette.

3-Michelle Williams in Chanel

Who doesn’t love Chanel? Actually, who doesn’t love Michelle William’s in Chanel? The Blue Valentine actress looked elegant in a short sleeve winter white Chanel gown that draped her petite figure perfectly. Taking the piece from conservative to glamorous, William’s paired the gown with Harry Winston diamond earrings.

2-Halle Barry in Marchesa

Halle Barry is undoubtedly one of my favorite red carpet fashion icons. Her choices are always breathtaking and this crystal encrusted Machesa corset gown is no different. She takes a feminine, romantic piece and adds a sultry flare to it, courtesy of her flawless figure.

1-Mila Kunis in Elie Saab

What a surprise! Mila Kunis looks breathtaking in Elie Saab. The lavender tiered gown combined with sheer lace detail screams femininity and grace. Do I spot a new fashion icon on the rise? Hears hoping!
