The big winner at last night’s Academy Awards was The Artist, but our eyes were on the red carpet (and Angelina Jolie’s leg). Here’s our pick of top Oscar gowns:
Jessica Chastain. This bold black and gold strapless gown by Alexander McQueen was a perfect choice for her striking skin tone and red hair. Her castmate Octavia Spencer may have taken home the trophy, but Jessica took home best dressed.

Milla Jovovich. For her first ever Oscars appearance, the model-turned-actress was sleek and sexy in a white one shoulder look by Elie Saab. She was one of the first on the carpet and she set the bar high for a very fashionable evening.

Gwyneth Paltrow. Always the minimalist, we loved the clean white look she chose from Tom Ford, and the built in cape says “I’m here to have fun.” She was all business later, dropping the cape and baring her shoulders to present with Robert Downey Jr.


A very cute Camilla Belle wore the HABITUAL Teo short in the wash Botanic while out shopping with her mother in LA this weekend. She paired the tie-dye shorts with a white loose fit tee and white sandals for casual and comfortable summer look. A big change from than the white Tom Ford suit she wore to the Young Hollywood Awards recently!
Camilla is making waves as an up and coming young beauty in Hollywood – you may recognize her from her roles in 10,000 B.C. or From Prada to Nada. Last month, Variety reported that she is in discussions to star in the indie comedy Bumped, opposite Kellan Lutz.
Thanks to Just Jared for spotting her for us!
