"Who are you wearing?" - Oscars 2012

From the moment I switched on E! Entertainment's Live on the Red Carpet to see presenter Giuliana Rancic in a  stunning white Tony Ward Couture dress I knew it would be a night of very few disappointments where fashion was concerned! Some of my favourites which deserve a mention were Octavia Spencer in Tadashi Shoji, Emma Stone in Giambattista Valli and Louise Roe in Black Halo.

Overall Best Dressed - Michelle Williams in Louis Vuitton 

It seems Michelle Williams can do no wrong on the fashion front. For me, this look was the best look of the night. The coral colour of this dress is beautiful against her fair skin and hair, and the Peplum detail is perfect for her figure. Marilyn would be proud.  

Best Hair - Jessica Chastain 

Glamorous waves loosely pinned half up make this very pretty hair style so easy to emulate.    

Best Make Up - Angelina Jolie 

The strawberry lip colour is gorgeous! This romantic look  with soft, volumous curls is a refreshing departure from Angelina's usual red carpet style.  

 And the after parties . . .

Cameron Diaz wearing Victoria Beckham

LOVE the colour. This is classic Victoria Beckham - a simple, clean design which fits like a glove.

Although its not fashion related, the funniest red carpet moment was Sacha Baron Cohen as his latest character The Dictator "accidently" tipping an urn of ashes on Ryan Seacrest during his live interview! Seacrest was caught completely offguard by the stunt but continued like a pro, later saying he thought the "ashes" were pancake mix! Definitely a clip to search on Youtube!
