OSCAR 2015 BEST AND WORST DRESS

THE YOU HAD BABIES WHEN?!: Zoe Saldana gave birth to twins less than three months ago. THREE MONTHS AGO. After nine-odd weeks of twice the dirty nappies and sleepless nights, she could have walked down the red carpet in a bin bag and we'd have given her a round of applause. However instead she plumped for this nude  Atelier Versace number, which creates such a jaw-dropping silhouette. Plus that very Midsummer Night's Dream updo is going on our we-need-to-do-this-at-our-next-summer-wedding list. (As guests of course, we're not serial brides).Zoe Saldana gave birth to twins less than three months ago. THREE MONTHS AGO.

THE OVERCOOKED: There's a lot to love about this forest green Versace dress, and Scarlet Johansson is wearing it very well ... but, while Cate Blanchett showed us how a statement necklace can make a dress (keep clicking to see what we're on about), Scar-Jo's showing us how it can break one.

THE CAN'T-MAKE-OUR-MINDS-UP: Neck up, Jessica Chastain is her usual elegant, perfectly polished self (and the reason we always mull going ginge until we realise it would cost about $28374 a month in maintenance). And this cowl-necked navy Givenchy number shows off an impressive cleavage, but there's something about a sequin underlay paired with this neckline that just feels a bit cabaret club. It's classy, but we prefer her edgier looks. Jessica Chastain is her usual elegant, perfectly polished self (and the reason we always mull going ginge until we realise it would cost about $28374 a month in maintenance).

THE WILDCARD: Well now we finally know what it would look like if Jesus was cast in a Singin' in the Rain remake. But jokes aside, we surprisingly do quite like this pale pastel suit on Jared Leto, especially with the little "gee whizz, I hope I get lucky at prom!" pink buttonhole. He's still our ultimate ombre idol, and that lilac brings out his deep blue peepers. Only downside are those giant white clownish clodhoppers - we wouldn't be surprised if he's shuffling down the red carpet as the sheer weight of them prevents him from lifting his feet. Well now we finally know what it would look like if Jesus was cast in a Singin' in the Rain remake.

THE MARMITE OPTION: Keira Knightley is surely the hardest-working pregnant person this awards season right? Yet she always looks fresh as a daisy. Her makeup here is faultless, and the bejewelled hairband is sweet without being twee. And the dress - hmm. The doodles are a bit Angelina's wedding gown, but the floral detailing is pretty and the reams of tulle are ever so delicate. Many have slammed her tent-like maternity wardrobe but we respect her desire to steer clear of clingy, belly-button-revealing body-con numbers. We sort of like this (in a kind of Renaissance Faire way) but what do you think?Keira Knightley is surely the hardest-working pregnant person this awards season right?

THE GOOD: Best use of yellow has to go to Jennifer Hudson in Romona Keveza - this column gown is a total classic (we ADORE that thin metal belt), and those emerald earrings are nothing but extraordinary.Best use of yellow has to go to Jennifer Hudson in Romona Keveza - this column gown is a total classic (we ADORE that thin metal belt), and those emerald earrings are nothing but extraordinary.
THE FINE: This Versace is definitely Jennifer Aniston's colour, but we're finding the signature Versace swirls and panels of material a bit distracting here (we'd prefer the Ralph Lauren take on this dress - shimmery and well cut but without the golf club attacking Jen-An's left breast). PS: Poor Jen looks like she actually might have slipped a disc when Emma Stone took it upon herself to be the Jennifer Lawrence of the 2015 Oscars and attacked Aniston while forcing an adorkable, kooky scowl onto her face.This Versace is definitely Jennifer Aniston's colour, but we're finding the signature Versace swirls and panels of material a bit distracting here (we'd prefer the Ralph Lauren take on this dressPoor Jen looks like she actually might have slipped a disc when Emma Stone took it upon herself to be the Jennifer Lawrence of the 2015 Oscars and attacked Aniston while forcing an adorkable, kooky scowl onto her face.
THE WORST ACCESSORY: Today is the day we learned there was an arm equivalent of waders. You gotta give it to Lady Gaga, she's not afraid of a wacky choice but those gloves are just a little too Dr. Frank-N-Furter in his lab working on making his own little man in gold pants. Or who knows, perhaps she was just making some extra cash at the butcher's shop and didn't have time to change. Those assistants are actually grabbing at the freshly-cut rack of lamb she has dangled behind what would be an otherwise quite nice dress. You gotta give it to Lady Gaga, she's not afraid of a wacky choice but those gloves are just a little too Dr. Frank-N-Furter in his lab working on making his own little man in gold pants.
THE BAD: Nicole Kidman's voluminous blondey-red bob? Tick. Psychedelic sequins? Yeah we can get on board with them. Contrasting red sash? Sure. But then you notice the Flintstones-style jagged hem. The clashing silver shoe. The naff white and silver clutch. All together you have a real mish-mash of themes and we're not sold on any of them (bar that bouncy mane, you are on fire there Kidders).THE BAD: Nicole Kidman's voluminous blondey-red bob? Tick.

THE BAD: Has Solange been attacked by a red parachute? No, this is an actual design by the usually wonderful Christian Siriano. What do we have here? A sheeny skivvvy that then wraps and wraps and wraps and becomes ginormous pants. Most Knowles family members can pull off even the most unusual of designs, but no one suits looking like Gumby's scarlet sister.THE BAD: Has Solange been attacked by a red parachute?

THE GOOD: This dress is a very similar colour to the Ralph Lauren jobbie Gwyn-Pal wore down the red carpet in 1999 (before proceeding to snot all over the stage when winning an Oscar). We, personally, much prefer this year's look - this bold Ralph & Russo Couture gown is just zany enough (she does have a rose the size of her head on her shoulder) and yet is still very fitting to Gwyneth Paltrow's sleek, clean sense of style.THE GOOD: This dress is a very similar colour to the Ralph Lauren jobbie Gwyn-Pal wore down the red carpet in 1999.We, personally, much prefer this year's look - this bold Ralph & Russo Couture gown is just zany enough 
THE MEH: Jennifer Lopez + Elie Saab should = a red carpet dream, but not here. There's looking like a princess in a directional, fresh way, and then there's actually just looking like what an illustrator would draw up for a Disney princess in a poofy-too-much way (except Disney would censor out those boobs). Also, Jennifer's skin always glows and zings in a super-humanly beautiful manner, but we think it's fair to say that this very shade of beige is not her colour.

THE GREAT: In the war of the beige dresses Oprah has totally KO-ed J-Lo. This Vera Wang dress is fit for the Queen of the Media. We love the x-marks-the-spot chiffon detail (which really accentuates Ms. Winfrey's assets, if you know what we're saying) and we love her gorgeous bouncy curls.THE GREAT: In the war of the beige dresses Oprah has totally KO-ed J-Lo.

THE BEST CONTENDER: She may be up for best actress, but this custom-made Chanel makes Julianne Moore already a winner in our eyes. Proving that the milky-skinned can most certainly get away with white, this sequin-shard-encrusted number makes our favourite redhead (sorry Emma Stone) look like a modern-day goddess crossed with a 1920s flapper.
