The 87th Annual Academy Awards were simply spectacular. It was a marvelous star-studded evening, filled with some of the most uplifting speeches, moving performances, and wonderfully humble winners. Neil Patrick Harris, our gracious host with the most, was hilarious, and can we just talk about that Lady Gaga performance (hello, high notes!)? All awards aside, we were totally taken by the red carpet arrivals, so of course we have to recap for you!

Academy Awards

Anna Kendrick was a coral queen in a flowy halter Thakoon that swept us away!

Academy Awards

Reese Witherspoon was statuesque as ever in Tom Ford. The Best Actress nominee was chic in her fit-and-flare black and white dress!

chrissy

Oh, Chrissy Teigen! Could this bombshell look any more fabulous in her silver Zuhair Murad gown? Accompanied by a statement lip and subtle finger-waves, she slayed!

rosamund

Givenchy looked grand on our gone girl and Best Actress nominee, Rosamund Pike. The red, embellished dress made a complete statement, and with minimal jewelry, was practically perfect.

felicity

Felicity Jones was an absolute gem on the red carpet. Also a Best Actress nominee for her courageous role in The Theory of Everything, she wore a silver Alexander McQueen like a pro.

Let’s just take a moment to appreciate the gorgeous men that graced the Oscars red carpet! We are quite sure there has never been a more handsome bunch to ever gather in one place, and we thank them for just being there. You’re all winners to us, duh.

Jessica Chastain was a Givenchy goddess in navy blue, and her signature locks were sleek and bright as ever. You had us captivated, love!

emma

Emma Stone, you doll, you! The Birdman actress (and Oscar nominee) was an Elie Saab ray of sunshine on the crimson carpet, looking bright as ever!

lupita

Lupita Nyong’o took our breath away as she arrived to the Oscars, wearing the most beautifully beaded ivory Calvin Klein Collection gown. Complete with her award-winning smile, Lupita was the definition of elegance.

jennifer

We swear Jennifer Lopez doesn’t age, and her Oscar appearance proves it. In a beautiful blush Elie Saab dress, she looked like a princess, and we were totally taken!

zoe

And the Winner Is… From her perfectly coiffed tresses to her elegantly draped train, Zoe Saldana was a vision in Atelier Versace. The exotic beauty wore blush like a dream, and simple jewelry accented her look in the best way. We were smitten by the gorgeous Guardians of the Galaxy gal, and she was, without a doubt, our Best Dressed for the evening!
