Fashion of the 2011 Academy Awards

The Academy Awards is the biggest award show of the year, and one of fashion's biggest nights. The red carpet is filled with celebrities showing off their incredible fashion sense, or lack there of. We have for you the 5 Best and Worst dressed celebrities from this years Oscars.


BEST


Actress Natalie Portman starts us out with number five on our list.

 This Best Actress winner is glowing in a drapey Rodarte gown. The beautiful burgundy compliments her skin tone, while the cut of the dress is flattering on a pregnant body. Although her glow may be partially due to her pregnancy, she looks fabulous! Not many women can rock the preggers look on the red carpet!


Our fourth place winner for best dressed is Penelope Cruz.

This red-hot starlet dazzles in a deep red L'Wren Scott gown. Although she is looking a little "busty" to say the least, she looks amazing for having a baby just a few weeks ago!


Hilary Swank brings us in at number three on our list.

This award-winning beauty arrived in a sparkling Gucci gown. She chose to have her hair up and out of her face in order to accentuate the beautiful gown. She looks elegant and glowing, as always.


Our second best dressed celebrity is Mila Kunis.

 The Black Swan star looked absolutely gorgeous in her sheer Elie Saab lace gown. Mila usually goes for a more edgy look, but this year she traded in for soft hair and makeup to complete an elegant look. We think this was the perfect choice Mila!


Last but certainly not least, we have Miss Berry as our number one best dressed!

Halle Berry could certainly be considered a red carpet hall-of-famer. She nails it yet again in her sequined Marchesa gown. She continues with the seasons trend of natural tones and wispy romantic styles. This look definitely gets an A+!



WORST



Reese Witherspoon disappoints in Giorgio Armani.

We are rarely unimpressed with this Starlet's fashion choices, but this year, that is exactly how we felt. This dress seems too plain and honestly, a little out of style. It seems like something you would see at a high school prom a few years ago. Sorry Reese, better luck next time.


Scarlett Johansson in Dolce and Gabbana brings us to number four.

This sultry actress is lacking the heat in this plum lace gown. The color and the high neckline combine to give a matronly look. Although the dress kind of shows off her figure, we are simply underwhelmed!


The Oscar host Anne Hathaway didn't do much better...

Seen in her Valentino Coture gown, Anne Hathaway seems to have missed the mark. The bright red-orange color of the dress is too much with her red lipstick and makeup. Not to mention the extra fabric on the bottom of the dress is just weird. Overall this definitely gets a thumbs down for Anne.


Nicole Kidman comes in at spot number two.

This Christian Dior gown is just all wrong for the Australian actress who was featured as best dressed on our previous blog at the Grammys! How can you go from something so right, to something so wrong? Nicole chose to wear white (yet again) and left us feeling very unsatisfied. The color is wrong, the fit is wrong, and to be honest the dress is just ugly. Sorry Nicole, but we would love to see you in some color for a change!


And our worst dressed celebrity goes to no one else but Helena Bonham Carter.

This outfit looks like a trainwreck and belongs nowhere near the Academy Awards red carpet. Now we understand that everyone was expecting this, even HBC herself, who was expecting a "catastrophe"of an outfit. And although her unique and eccentric style showed through, this can be labeled nothing more than the worst dressed of the 2011 Oscars. And that, I feel, she might be proud of.

That wraps it up for our 5 Best and 5 Worst dressed of the Academy Awards! We hope you enjoyed our recap and check in with us next week to see what Fashion trends we will be highlighting next!
