Oscar Fashion 2012

6:12 PM |

On Sunday February 26th was the 2012 Academy Awards. That night is one of the biggest nights in the fashion world.

There were many fashion 'hits' and 'misses'.

The BEST of the night:

Gwyneth Paltrow

Everyone was talking about Gwyneth Paltrow's caped Tom Ford gown. This fall and spring capes are very in, but it was very bold of her to wear it on the red carpet, during the Oscars! Personally, I think she 100% pulled the look off very well. She did not go overboard with the hair and accessories too; a simple diamond cuff and low ponytail.
Her red carpet moment in this white gown will be remembered for awhile.

Jennifer Lopez

This neutral Zuhair Murad look is ultra-glam. Its sequins and stripes work with J-Lo's hair style and simple jewlery.
However, she was not playing it safe with a huge plunging V-neck which came with much controversy.

Jessica Chastain

The Help star looked amazing on the red carpet. Everything just worked! Her hair was done right with the proper amount of jewlery so it did not clash with the bold gold gown from Alexander McQueen. The intricate copper embroidery against the black fabric, the delicate earrings and the long loose curls—it's all so perfect!

Rose Byrne

The actress told E!'s Ryan Seacrest that this slinky sequin midnight-blue Vivienne Westwood one-shoulder gown was "the first thing [she] tried on," and she went with it.
Her sassy bob did not clash with the bold dress and it works perfect.
Her earings are Chanel and Byrne's shoes are Jimmy Choo platform stilettos.

The WORST of the night:

Angelina Jolie

Jolie looks absolutely gorgeous in this Atelier Versace gown with Neil Lane jewels!
HOWEVER, Chicken leg alert! Her odd pose the whole night ruined her whole outfit. It may sound ridiculous, but this crazy pose ruined her 'get-up'.

Meryl Streep

Streep looked like she was drowning in her gold Lanvin dress. Also, the exaggerated shoulders would be perfect in the 80s, however for the 2012 Oscars it dated her look even more.
