82nd Annual Academy Awards: Who Wore What? Rachel McAdams

Rachel McAdams in Elie Saab Haute Couture Spring 2010

Well, it seems that one of the biggest winners of the night was Elie Saab! He had numerous dresses on the Red Carpet tonight. When I saw this gown on the Runway in January I wondered if somebody might be gutsy enough to wear it.

While I applaud her for thinking "outside the box" (rarely do you see a print on the Red Carpet), the dress definitely worked better when she presented on stage as opposed to walking the carpet. But kudos to Rachel for taking a risk!

82nd Annual Academy Awards: Who Wore What? Anna Kendrick

Anna looked beautiful in this Elie Saab Haute Couture Gown from his Spring 2010 Collection. It was a dress I knew I would see on the Red Carpet. She stated that it was not her 1st choice and was the "back up" dress.
It seems she made the right choice by switching to this delicate chiffon gown, I only wish she hadn't worn such a pale color. I feel the blue dress from the same collection might have "popped" a bit more on the Red Carpet.

82nd Annual Academy Awards: Who Wore What? Cameron Diaz

Cameron Diaz in Oscar De La Renta Fall 2010

For Cameron Diaz, this Oscar De La Renta Gown from his Fall 2010 Collection could almost be considered a safe choice. She usually goes for styles that are a bit edgier and more directional, but there is absolutely no denying that Cameron looked absolutely amazing in this gown.

The hair was a bit more "styled" than it usually is and along with her beautiful make up it was the perfect accent to this truly glamorous dress.

82nd Annual Academy Awards: Who Wore What? Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron in Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring 2010

Charlize Theron wore a modified version of the above Gown from John Galliano's Spring 2010 Christian Dior Haute Couture Collection. While Charlize always looks fantastic, I think this is a bit of a miss.

Somehow in changing the dress and attempting to make it more "Red Carpet appropriate", it lost it's power and became a "dumbed down version" of the original. I kind of wish she would have just worn the dress the way it was designed (maybe just slightly modifying the Bow).

82nd Annual Academy Awards: Who Wore What? Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez in Armani Prive Spring 2010

Jennifer Lopez certainly got it right tonight in this Armani Prive Spring 2010 Gown. She will definitely be on most people's Best Dressed List and she deserves it.

It was amazing how the dress was so delicate and light from the front but when you see her from behind it was tight and structured showing off that signature JLo bootie!

82nd Annual Academy Awards: Who Wore What? Zoe Saldana

Zoe Saldana in Givenchy Haute Couture Spring 2010

Zoe Saldana is definitely giving you DRAMA in this Givenchy Haute Couture Spring 2010 Gown! This is the kind of dress you want to see on the Oscar Red Carpet and Saldana did not disappoint.

It is a lot of dress with the Degrade Tulle Hem, Duchesse Silk Satin Skirt and Beaded Bodice, but Zoe knows how to handle such a big dress and definitely makes it work.

82nd Annual Academy Awards: Who Wore What? Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah Jessica Parker in Chanel Haute Couture Spring 2010

You have to give Sarah Jessica Parker points for always pushing the "fashion envelope". As I have said before I get so excited to recognize a dress from the Couture Collections and say "Oh No She Didn't!!! She's wearing....."

I would have rather seen Maggie Gyllenhaal wear the blush pink dress from this collection.

This will definitely not be a favorite of many people, but she will definitely be on many peoples "Lists" tomorrow whether Good or Bad; and that is always a good thing!

82nd Annual Academy Awards: Who Wore What? Sandra Bullock

Sandra Bullock in Marchesa Fall 2010

Sandra chose this Marchesa Gown for her "big night". It seems that Marchesa is having a big night of their own with several actresses wearing their beautiful gowns!

This wouldn't have been my choice for Sandra, but she looks beautiful. I love the retro hair and strong red lips. This light gold gown with lace bodice (they removed the bow on the shoulder: thank goodness) is a softer style than Bullock usually wears and it almost makes her look vulnerable, which I think is a good thing...especially if she wins!

82nd Annual Academy Awards: Who Wore What? Maggie Gyllenhaal

Maggie Gyllenhaal in Dries Van Noten Fall 2010

Maggie chose this Dries Van Noten Gown from the recent Fall 2010 Collection that just happened last week! For the Red Carpet I think the strapless neckline works much better, but I was hoping she would have made a bolder choice like the one I suggested.

It looks like Sara Jessica Parker took my advice and went the "Fashionista" route!

82nd Annual Academy Awards: Who Wore What? Amanda Seyfried

Amanda Seyfried in Armani Prive Spring 2010

We were sure to see a dress from this Armani Prive Spring 2010 Collection. It was one of Armani's strongest collections in years. Here Amanda Seyfried chose one of the standouts from the collection. I love the stiff seamless corset with the beautiful and dramatic drape on the side. Although the color might wash her out a bit when you see the dress in the close-up it is stunning!
