  • Sharon Stone: Christian Dior
  • Penelope Cruz: L'Wren Scott
  • Sandra Bullock: Vera Wang


Just in case you missed it, here's a recap of the best-and worst-dressed people at the Oscars 2011.

We were most partial to Cate Blanchett's Givenchy Couture dress, though we know some found it odd. Also on our hot list were Mila Kunis in lavender Elie Saab (lacy ruffles, so spring!) and Gwyneth Paltrow looking every inch a New York blueblood in a shimmering Calvin Klein Collection column dress (until she sang a country song, that is).

As this was the Oscars, no one was really the worst dressed. But if pressed, we'd have to say Amy Adams' blue sequin L'Wren Scott dress would have been better served without the big green pendant. Fellow Best Actress nominee Nicole Kidman chose a striking Christian Dior gown, but the hip shield was a little unusual. And host Anne Hathaway's original red-carpet dress, with the big bustle, was the least interesting of all her many Oscars 2011 looks.

Who did you like?

Well if you LOVED Cate Blanchett's dress - how could you not adore Nicole Kidman's gown?????????Cate's was odd [you say]] and Nicole's unusual??????? Do you understand what I"m saying! One lady on tv said tnat Cate and Nicole had the confidence and boldness to wear unusual dresses! Maybe thats why their such good actresses!
