GWYNETH PALTROW
A vision in white, Paltrow positively glowed in a dramatic design by her close friend Tom Ford. A master class in impeccable tailoring and 'no thanks' to fussy embellishment if ever we saw one. Go Gwyneth!
NATALIE PORTMAN
Cementing her allegiances with Christian Dior, for whom she is the face of the Miss Dior Cherie perfume range, Natalie Portman delved deep into the archives and donned this vintage haute couture gown from 1954.

STACY KEIBLER
George Clooney's latest squeeze looked like a Hollywood siren in this gold lamé gown by Marchesa. "I was at New York Fashion Week and I went to the Marchesa show," she explained. "I saw this dress on the runway and I was like, I need to have that dress." We couldn't agree more.

SHAILENE WOODLEY
The ultimate fuss-free dresser, Woodley said she fell for this long-sleeved Valentino haute couture gown because it was "simple, classy and elegant, and I can still breathe in it!" An admirable admission if ever we heard one.

BERENICE BEJO
French star of 'The Artist' cemented her allegiances with Lebanese couturier Elie Saab by donning this haute couture creation. Enveloped in the palest of mint green, with intricate beading upon sheer sleeves, Bejo looked at ease and like she was the one dazzling in the gown, and not the other way around.
MILLA JOVOVICH
Model turned actress Milla Jovovich said she wanted a gown that was "very clean and structured, without being overpowering." Could she have done any better than this asymmetric Elie Saab gown? Rather than washing her out, the white sequins and beads provided a dramatic luminosity.

PENELOPE CRUZ
Wow, Mrs Javier Bardem actually looks like a princess. Exuding Grace Kelly-style elegance in this Giorgio Armani gown, Cruz excels in evoking that golden age glamour of yesteryear.
ANGELINA JOLIE
Vampish in black velvet, Jolie's Atelier Versace gown was just that: extremely 'jolie' and decadently sexy.
CAMERON DIAZ
What better than an off-white strapless number by Gucci to show off one's amazing arms/ shoulders/ chest/ décolletage…? What's even more annoying is that we know Diaz has an amazing set of pins under there, so top marks for eschewing a thigh-high split a la Jolie and playing one's pins down.

MICHELLE WILLIAMS
It takes a brave woman to wear a blood-red, peplum dress and clash it with a pink clutch - all whilst possessing a porcelain skin tone - but Michelle Williams triumphed in this ruffled Louis Vuitton number.
ROONEY MARA
Gliding along the red carpet like an elegant ghost, Rooney Mara's Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci gown possessed all the ingredients of her signature style: plunging neckline, breathtaking craftsmanship, accentuated with a graceful posture and as little bling as humanly possible.

JENNIFER LOPEZ
Someone's got to dare to bare at the Oscars, and if there's one woman in particular who can rise to the occasion, it's J-Lo. The singer/ actress shone in a bespoke gown by Zuhair Murad. Made from nude silk tulle, hand embroidered pale crystal beading forms the dazzling composition of the dress.
JESSICA CHASTAIN
'The Help' star refreshing looked like an actual red carpet version of herself - and not an Oscar-brainwashed clone. Simple hair and make-up was all that was needed to offset this dramatic Alexander McQueen frock.
A red-head who rocks a pink red - you've got to hand it to Emma Stone. Spookily, we predicted Natalie Portman in this Giambattista Valli design, but Stone has effortlessly made it her own.
