Oscars 2014: 7 Best Dressed Women On The Red Carpet
Armani and Gucci and Prada, oh my! A-list celebrities from around the world gathered at the Dolby Theatre to celebrate Hollywood’s most important night of the year. While many stars failed to achieve a memorable look, these seven starlets wore the most breath-taking gowns at the 86th annual Academy Awards.

Naomi Watts Though not a nominee, Naomi Watts stunned on this year’s red carpet in a gorgeous white, shimmery Calvin Klein gown. Not many can pull off a cap-sleeve without looking like a toddler, yet somehow the silhouette makes the Australian beauty look all the more majestic.

Sandra Bullock Sandra Bullock has never made a wrong move on the red carpet. Bullock continued the trend in a jewel-tone Alexander McQueen gown, which she paired with Loraine Schwartz jewelry. Her side-swept, curled hair and gunmetal eye makeup completed the sultry, sophisticated ensemble. |

Jennifer Lawrence America’s sarcastic sweetheart has done it again. After a less-than-perfect entrance onto the red carpet, Lawrence turned heads in a red strapless Dior gown. She completed the classic, 1940s-style dress with a backwards necklace and pompadour. |

Lady Gaga One word: finally. Lady Gaga reemerged from oblivion in a slim-fitting, sequined caped gown. The combination of the dress's baby pink hue with a platinum blonde, tight updo made for a fierce statement. Fans have been waiting for Gaga to look chic and beautiful instead of over-the-top. |

Kate Hudson Who says non-nominees can’t steal the show? Kate Hudson channeled Old Hollywood glamor in a daring silver, plunging gown. Hudson looked like a sexy gladiator with metallic eye makeup and jewelry. We like this edgy side of Kate and hope to see it on red carpets in the future. |

Cate Blanchett Even at 45, Cate Blanchett never fails to put the 20-somethings to shame. The statuesque beauty looked as regal as ever in a sheer, beaded Giorgio Armani gown. Cate kept it simple with classic curled hair and minimal makeup. The Oscar winner looked like the queen of the 86th Academy Awards with this timeless look.

Lupita Nyong'o At the top of our list is the darling of this year’s red carpet season. Some may have thought that the "12 Years A Slave" star couldn’t possibly top the Gucci gown that she wore to the Screen Actors Guild Awards last month, but those speculations were silenced the moment that she stepped onto the red carpet. Nyong'O stunned in a custom-made, ice blue Prada gown. A jeweled headband perfected the Cinderella-story look. Not only does Lupita snag our number-one spot for this year’s Academy Awards, but we would argue she wins the entire awards show season. |
