Oscars Style 2013

After the limelight of the Oscars ceremony with Daniel Day-Lewis making Oscar history by wining the best actor award three times and Jennifer Lawrence being rewarded for her leading role in Silver Linings, it's exciting to realise one of my selected dresses actually made it to the red carpet.

But before telling you which one, it's important to mention Anna Hathaway who looked incredibly chic in a Prada gown and who was also one of the winners of the evening, receiving her first Oscar for best supporting actress in Les Miserables. Olivia Munn was also stunning in one of the dresses featured on my last blog post, a red strapless Marchesa!

But considering the past red carpet events of the film industry, both Jessica Chastain and Naomi Watts are consistently stylish. These women are not only talented actresses but they also have impeccable taste and a reliable team of people working on their public image. Hats off to them.

After being the face of a Dior campaign it's hardly surprising that Jennifer Lawrence would choose the brand for the Oscars. Her gown was featured on my blog post about the latest Couture shows, a princess dress quite appropriate for the big winner of the night. Charlize Theron also chose Dior couture for the evening, looking as beautiful as ever.

Amanda Seyfried looked very elegant in Alexander McQueen and Amy Adams's femininity was enhanced by a Cinderella dress designed by Oscar de la Renta. Pale colours are not as eye catching but they both managed to pull it off with their natural beauty and grace.

Catherine Zeta-Jones decided to wear a golden figure hugging dress by Zuhair Murad, which I have also selected for my couture blog post. Salma Hayek also looked ravishing with an Alexander McQueen velvet gown with gold embellished collar.

This was another successful evening not only for the film industry but also for fashion and its ability to create goddess like creatures. It's important to refer the exquisite taste of Jacquline Durran who received the award for costume design in Anna Karenina. Even Tolstoy would be pleased!
