Dresses at the Oscars 2011

Best and worst dressed at the Oscars 2011
 
Virginia Madsen
Grade: C-
Virginia Madsen looked a little “Black Swan” in her feathered Romona Keveza frock. The actress topped off her ensemble with messy tresses and chandelier earrings.





Sharon Stone
Grade: D+
Is it just us, or does Sharon Stone remind you a little of Cruella de Vil in her feather-adorned one-shoulder Christian Dior gown?
 
Scarlett Johansson
Grade: B+
The newly single starlet turned plenty of heads in a risqué Dolce & Gabbana magenta lace gown and sexy bedhead hair. Ryan Reynolds eat your heart out!
 
Sandra Bullock
Grade: A
2010’s Best Actress winner was simply elegant in a strapless scarlet Vera Wang gown, which she accessorized perfectly with a simple updo, crocodile clutch, and ruby red lips.
 
Russell Brand
Grade: B+
Mirren’s “Arthur” co-star stood out in a blue-and-black suit, which he paired with a matching checked shirt and greasy locks.
 
Robert Downey Jr.
Grade: A
Although he typically dons rather outlandish red carpet getups, RDJ (with wife Susan) successfully toned it down for this year’s Academy Awards.
 
Reese Witherspoon
Grade: A
The newly engaged actress channeled ’60s Hollywood glamour in a black-and-white Giorgio Armani Prive column gown and blond bouffant ‘do.
 
Nicole Kidman
Grade: D
Unfortunately, the “Rabbit’s Hole” Best Actress nominee did not put her best foot forward in an Asian-inspired embroidered Christian Dior Spring 2009 Couture gown, which sort of resembled a napkin. The dress was somewhat saved by her vintage Fred Leighton diamond choker.
 
Natalie Portman
Grade: A
The “Black Swan” Best Actress winner showcased her burgeoning baby bump in a plum, off-the-shoulder Rodarte gown. Tiffany & Co. tassel earrings set off her dress, and though pregnant, she dared to wear Jimmy Choo heels for her walk down the red carpet.
 
Mila Kunis
Grade: B-
The “Black Swan” beauty looked lovely in a lacy lavender Elie Saab gown. Sideswept bangs and diamond earrings completed her ethereal ensemble.
 
Michelle Williams
Grade: B
The “Blue Valentine” Best Actress nominee was chic as can be in an embellished Chanel dress and pixie cut. Nude makeup and Harry Winston diamond earrings completed her classic look.
 
Melissa Leo
Grade: D+
“The Fighter’s” Best Supporting Actress winner sported a Marc Bouwer creation for her big night that unfortunately resembled a giant doily.
 
Matthew McConaughey
Grade: A
The Dolce & Gabbana clad “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past” star was upstaged by his baby mama Camila Alves, who was simply sublime in a Kaufman Franco gown.
 
Mark Wahlberg
Grade: B+
“The Fighter” star scored a knockout in his Giorgio Armani tux thanks to his best accessory, his wife Rhea Durham, who wore a Naeem Khan design.
 
Mark Ruffalo
Grade: A-
“The Kids Are All Right” Best Supporting Actor nominee was sexy in his tux and salt-and-pepper hair.
 
Marisa Tomei
Grade: D+
The Oscar-winning actress (“My Cousin Vinny”) failed to impress in an ill-fitting vintage 1950s Charles James Couture dress from Lily et Cie.
 
Maria Menounos
Grade: B
The “Access Hollywood” correspondent played it safe in a black velvet Johanna Johnson one-sleeved number, which she set off with an attention-grabbing piece of bling.
 
Mandy Moore
Grade: C
The singer — who performed her song from “Tangled” — blended in with the crowd in her nude, crystal-encrusted Monique Lhuillier gown.



Justin Timberlake
Grade: B+
The singer-turned-movie-star cleaned up nicely in his Tom Ford tux.



Julia Ormond

The British “Temple Grandin” actress graced the red carpet in a strapless lace gown.
 
Josh Brolin
Grade: B-

Jesse Eisenberg
Grade: B
Timberlake’s “Social Network” co-star and Best Actor nominee dressed for the occasion in a Band of Outsiders suit.
 
Jeremy Renner
Grade: A-
The dapper Best Supporting Actor nominee (“The Town”) gave a salute to style on the Academy Awards red carpet.
 
Jennifer Lawrence
Grade: A
The “Winter’s Bone” Best Actress nominee sizzled in a simple-yet-sexy Calvin Klein creation, long flowing locks, and minimal jewelry provided by Chopard .



Jennifer Hudson
Grade: A
JHud strutted her fab new physique in a tangerine va-va-va-voom Versace halter gown.



Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz
Grade: A
“Biutiful’s” Best Actor nominee donned Gucci for Hollywood’s biggest night, and was joined on the red carpet by his beautiful wife Penelope, who rocked a dazzling red L’Wren Scott gown. Can you believe she only gave birth to their son one month ago?



Jackie Weaver
Grade: B-
The Best Supporting Actress nominee for “Animal Kingdom” sparkled in a bejeweled gown designed by fellow Aussie Collette Dinnigan, which she paired with metallic clutch and a smile.
 
Hugh Jackman
Grade: B+
The Aussie hunk switched things up with a double-breasted Ferragamo tux, while his wife Deborra-Lee suffered a fashion flop thanks to her black-and-white feathery wrap.
 
Hilary Swank
Grade: B
Although the two-time Oscar winner looked stunning in her strapless Gucci gown, we feel like we’ve seen this feathered-metallic combo a million times before.
 
Helena Bonham Carter
Grade: B-
The always eccentric Best Supporting Actress nominee for “The King’s Speech” surprised us with a relatively conservative black bustier ensemble created by “Alice in Wonderland” costume designer Colleen Atwood. Bonham Carter, who accessorized with a fan-shaped clutch, said, “I thought it would be nice to celebrate film instead of fashion.”
 
Helen Mirren
Grade: A-
The Dame reigned supreme in a gunmetal gray Vivienne Westwood gown, Cartier diamonds, and a short ‘do. Can you believe she’s 65?
 
Halle Berry
Grade: A
Halle was flawless as usual in a crystal encrusted Marchesa gown and a spiky cropped coif.
 
Hailee Steinfeld
Grade: A
The Best Supporting Actress nominee picked the perfect pale pink Marchesa frock for her first trip down the Oscars red carpet. The 14-year-old “True Grit” star even helped Marchesa design the one-of-a-kind creation!
 
Gwyneth Paltrow
Grade: A-
The “Country Strong” songstress looked like California Barbie thanks to her shimmering Calvin Klein creation, stick-straight blond locks, and glowing tan.
 
Florence Welch
Grade: D
The Florence and the Machine lead singer looked more appropriately dressed to front a band called Florence and the Frontier in her frumpy, tiered Valentino number.
 
Erin Andrews
Grade: B
All eyes were on ESPN sportscaster/”Dancing With the Stars” alum thanks to her silver Kaufman Franco dress.
 
Donald and Melania Trump
Grade: B-
The Donald rocked his signature coif, while wife Melania made the scene in a Dolce & Gabbana gown.
 
Daphne Zuniga
Grade: C+
While we were surprised to see the “One Tree Hill” star on the Oscars red carpet, she was apparently there to support her designer friend Nicole Miller. Of course, Daphne wore one of Miller’s gowns to the show.
 
Dale Dickey
Grade: B
The “Winter’s Bone” star, who took home the Best Supporting Actress Independent Spirit Award on Saturday night, sparkled in a blue dress that accentuated her fit figure.
 
Colin Firth
Grade: A
“The King’s Speech” Best Actor winner, who was accompanied by his beautiful wife Livia, was debonnaire in his Tom Ford suit.

Grade: C
Bale, who took home the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance in “The Fighter,” accessorized his black-on-black Gucci tux with a bushy ginger beard and his stunning wife Sibi.
 
Cheryl Hines
Grade: B
The “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star stepped out in a shimmery black sweetheart gown, which she accessorized with a glam diamond necklace and a casual updo.
 
Celine Dion
Grade: B+
Although Celine Dion just gave birth to twin boys last October, you’d never know it! The “My Heart Will Go On” songstress looked svelte and sleek in Armani Prive. Loose locks and a Van Cleef & Arpels necklace completed her ensemble.
 
Cate Blanchett
Grade: B-
The always fashion-forward actress donned a pale lavender silk chiffon Givenchy Couture gown, which she paired with Van Cleef & Arpels jewels. Do you think the stylish star pulled off her outside-of-the-box look?
 
Busy Philipps
Grade: B-
The “Cougar Town” star got all glammed up in a black fishtail gown to attend the Academy Awards as her best friend Michelle Williams’ date. She’s come a long way from “Freaks and Geeks,” eh?
 
Annette Bening
Grade: A
“The Kids Are All Right” Best Actress nominee might have missed out on the big prize, but scored top marks on the red carpet thanks to her sparkling Art Deco gown by Naeem Khan.
 
Anne Hathaway
Grade: B
The Oscars co-host struck a pose in a red vintage Valentino bustle gown. Do you think the ruffled rose detailing is frumpy … or fabulous?



Andrew Garfield
Grade: B+
The star of the upcoming “Spider-Man” reboot was ready for action in his Louis Vuitton tux.
 
Amy Adams
Grade: A-
“The Fighter’s” Best Supporting Actress nominee sparkled in a form-fitting midnight blue L’Wren Scott gown and emerald-and-diamond Cartier jewels, which perfectly set off her strawberry blond locks.
