Oscars Fashion: Hits And Misses

Fashion was out in full force last night at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards. Here are my picks for the best and worst:

BEST DRESSED:

Mila Kunis: Lavender lace and silk organza gown by Elie Saab Haute Couture
SIMPLY stunning!

Other hits:

Jennifer Lawrence: Calvin Klein Collection

Hilary Swank: Gucci
What I WOULDN'T give to wear this gown!

Halle Berry: Marchesa

Hailee Steinfeld: Marchesa
Best dressed girl of 2011--very age appropriate!

Gwyneth Paltro: Calvin Klein Collection

Natalie Portman: Rodarte
Rodarte also designed the costumes for Black Swan, for which Natalie accepted the award for "Best Actress".

Mandy Moore: Monique Lhuillier

Misses:

Reese Witherspoon: Armani Prive
Pageant queen?

Marisa Tomei: Charles James

Nicole Kidman: Christian Dior Haute Couture

Helena Bonham Carter: Colleen Atwood
Wearing Colleen Atwood (costume designer), paying tribute to film, instead of fashion. Helena, you always seem to find yourself on the worst dressed list but we love you anyway.

Almost, but not quite:

Melissa Leo: Mark Bouwer
Congrats to Melissa for stepping out of her comfort zone and into a gown, however it seems a little boxy on her figure.

Scarlett Johansson: Dolce & Gabbana
Yes, she looks beautiful. The color is gorgeous and the fit is mostly flattering but I'm not a fan of the see-through lace (is it on purpose?) nor the undone hair for the Oscars.

Cate Blanchett: Givenchy Haute Couture
Props to Cate for taking such a risk but this dress seems too futuristic for the Oscars.

Amy Adams: L'Wren Scott
Love this dress--extremely figure flattering! However, because the dress's neckline is cut so high already, I definitely would have lost the necklace.

What did you guys think of last night's fashion? Who should receive awards for BEST and WORST dressed?
