I would say that this is easily one of the weakest Oscars red carpets I've ever experienced. At least there were a few memorable looks.
My favourites:
Amanda Seyfried in Givenchy - Hated the McQueen, but redeemed herself in one of my favourite Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy dresses ever.
Naomie Harris in Vivienne Westwood - The slit is dangerous, but she pulls it off because she isn't posing like a sl*t.
Emmanuelle Riva in Lanvin - Simple and elegant. Hard to find good pictures of it, though. Definitely looked better in motion.
Jennifer Lawrence in Christian Dior Haute Couture - I think it's a nice dress to win an Oscar in. Though part of me wishes that she had saved the BAFTAs dress for the Oscars. I really liked that.
Jessica Chastain in Armani Privé - It's one of those simple classic gowns that will probably be remembered for years to come. Kind of like Anne Hathaway's Armani Privé in 2009.
Zoe Saldana in Alexis Mabille Haute Couture - Compared to the Givenchy she wore a few years back, it's underwhelming but she looked better than most.
Anne Hathaway in Prada - She's getting torn apart for this dress, but I don't...get it? I think she looks nice. Sure, the chest area is a little strange, but I think that adds a little quirk to a simple gown. I like. Only problem is that it's very creased, which is always problematic with that material.
