2011 Oscars Red Carpet - Part 2

STS 2011 Oscar Best Dressed - Sandra Bullock

 In what has got to be one of the looks of the night, last year's Best Actress winner Sandra Bullock left the metallic sparkle she wore when picking up her award for the Blind Side at home and looked gorgeous again in classic red.

Last year she wore Marchesa but this year it was Vera Wang, in her stunning strapless gown which featured a beautiful bow at the back.


Topping the perfect look were Harry Winston jewels, and a sleek red clutch - seen better at the Vanity Fair Party.

If Allen Schwartz is making any of his Oscar look-alikes again this year, this is bound to be one of them.

Gwyneth Paltrow's Golden Oscar Looks

Gwyneth Paltrow donned two metallic gold looks for the Academy Awards last night (February 27).

She teamed her shimmering Calvin Klein dress with gorgeous Louis Vuitton jewels including colorful earrings and a brooch at the waist.

Simple, straightened hair co-ordinated with her arrival dress and the nude, sparkle-embellished Michael Kors gown she wore while performing her song from Country Strong.

The slit-bottom of her CK dress gave a peep of gold ankle-strapped Brian Atwood heels, but it was some simple gold pumps that were paired with her second dress.

She later added a gold Jimmy Choo clutch to the look while attending the Vanity Fair Post-Oscar Party.

Steal The Style - Reese Witherspoon's 2011 Oscar Look


It was a simple black-and-white look for Reese Witherspoon as she attended the 83rd Annual Academy Awards last night (February 27).

A flirty ponytail up-do added a fun touch to the classic Giorgio Armani gown which was also paired with Neil Lane earrings and bangles.


For a similar look chek out the $250.00 Strapless Terani Couture Gown which features a white bow on the contrasting white bust section.

Amy Adams in L'Wren Scott at the 2011 Oscars



Best supporting actress nominee Amy Adams is always elegant, and attending the 83rd Annual Academy Awards last night was no different.

With all the pale and blush colors she usually wears, the dark color choice of her L'Wren Scott dress is a little unexpected; it seemed almost black in some lights but showed up a range of blue hues under the flashbulbs.

Amy always picks a shade that compliments her colorings and even if she didn't with her gown, she did with the jewelry - over $1,000,000 worth of Cartier diamonds and emeralds.

Hailee Steinfeld in Marchesa at the Oscars


Hailee Steinfeld at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards in  Hollywood on February 27.

Similar to Mandy Moore, Hailee went with a nude, shimmery dress in her Marchesa creation.

The ballet-style look was perfect for the Best Supporting Actress nominee; the '50s frock style bottom much more age-appropriate for the 14-year-old than a gown.

She accessorized with blush-color peep-toes, Fred Leighton jewels, and an elegant silver Salvatore Ferragamo clutch bag.

Jennifer Lawrence's Simple Red Oscars Look


Her first Oscars but Jennifer Lawrence has been on a streak so far this season.  Some don't rate her style but STS thinks she's almost spot-on - you wouldn't know she was practically a red carpet newcomer.

Nominated for Winter's Bone, Jennifer wore what's probably been her most simple look so far this red carpet season - a streamlined Calvin Klein number.

It's an elegant look but there's simply elegant then just too simple - not quite sure this is an Oscar-standard look.

Accessorizing was a gold clutch, Jimmy Choo sandals and Chopard jewels.


It's not a total steal at $348.00 but the Kirrily Johnston Win The Sky Gown from shopbop.com is a pretty similar look if you love Jennifer's CK dress.

Mandy Moore's Oscar Worthy Looks


Mandy Moore at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards, held at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre on February 27, where, as a perfomer, she got to wear two dresses. 

Arriving on the red carpet she wore a nude Monique Lhuillier gown which would have almost blended into her own skin had it not been for all those sparkles.

Her sleek updo showed off yellow-gold and diamond circular Chopard earrings.

Later her hair was down, as she performed a song from Tangled along with Zachary Levi.

Mandy's gown matched her usually sweet, princessy style.  The blue, floral-skirted gown was also a Monique Lhuillier design.

Nicole Kidman in Dior at the Oscars


Up for Best Actress for her role in Rabbit Hole, Nicole Kidman, opted away from her go-to designers L'Wren Scott and Nina Ricci; instead wearing Dior Haute Couture.

You can't really fault Nicole, her looks are elegant and flawless but rarely exciting.  Despite all the emblishments this was still a bit of a boring look, and even her red Pierre Hardy shoes couldn't boost much life into it.

Her necklace was surely the main attraction - 150 carats worth of diamonds from Fred Leighton.

Halle Berry's 2011 Marchesa Oscars Look


2002 winner of Best Actress Halle Berry was one hand to present at this year's Academy Awards ceremony.  

Similar to an Elie Saab style she wore to a previous Oscars ceremony, Halle was gorgeous again in her nude Marchesa gown which was embellished with sparkles, ending in dreamy tulle trail.

More glitter was added by way of Neil Lane diamond earrings.

Natalie Portman's Purple Rodarte Look


The winner of Best Actress Oscar was no surprise, Natalie Portman's tough ballet training process paid off and she picked up the little gold guy, looking fabulous in her Rodarte gown.

Maybe after using up all her bump-complimenting ideas on the red carpet already, Natalie seemed to look to Jessica Alba's 2008 Oscar look for a little inspiration.

Make Natalie's look strapless and the berry color and flowing line on both would make them look very similar.

Making the look her own, Natalie wore long, beaded tassle earrings from Tiffany's, Jimmy Choo heels and stauette-matching gold Roger Vivier clutch.

Penelope Cruz's Fiery L'Wren Scott Oscars Dress


Out supporting her Best Actor nominated husband Javier Barden, Penelope Cruz looked stunning at last night's Oscars - just weeks after giving birth to her first child.

At last year's ceremony she wore a red Donna Karan design and stuck with a similar color here in her curve-flaunting L'Wren Scott dress which was covered with red flame-like sequins.  

With such a dress, Pene kept the accessories low-key: Jimmy Choo heels and some complimentary Chopard jewels.

Scarlett Johannson in Lacy D&G at the Oscars


Attending the 83rd Annual Academy Awards on February 27, Scarlett Johansson stuck with her favoured feminine look in a mulberry-colored Dolce & Gabbana dress which was quite conservative from the front, and a lot more stunning from the back with it's flesh-revealing cut-out. 

The lacy fabric could easily have been too fussy so Scarlett kept her hair in fuss-free waves but her Anna Hu dragon design ring certainly wasn't simple.

Michelle Williams' Pretty 2011 Oscars Style


Making her way down the Oscars red carpet, Best Actress nominee Michelle Williams stayed true to her usual simple and vintage-inspired style in her white Chanel Haute Couture cap-sleeve dress which was emboidered with hundreds of of pearls.

The look was very fresh and simple; Harry Winston diamonds were her added glitter, and barely seen white Jimmy Choo pumps completed the look.

Get a similar look to Michelle's sweet flower-shaped Harry Winston studs with Debenhams' £5.00 Facet Flower Stud Earrings; or Forever 21's very affordable $4.80 Rhinestone Encrusted Stud Earrings.
