Hit: Scarlett Johansson

Actress Scarlett Johansson wears a lacy Dolce & Gabbana gown. The dress is form fit to her beautiful figure. There is Victorian influence in the bodice and pattern. Her hair was very casual but it was the trend for the night—wavy bob.
Hit: Hilary Swank
Oscar winning actress Hilary Swank shimmered in her amazing sequined gown by Gucci. Hilary looked like pure glamour and showed off her amazing figure. The front of her dress has feather embellishments. Swank sported her straight hair in a classic up do adorned with a fancy hair pin.
Hit: Marisa Tomei
Marisa Tomei arrives at the 83rd Academy Awards in Hollywood in high style! Her dress was a 1950 couture Charles James dress from Lily et Cie. This dress stood out among all the others tonight.
Hit: Sandra Bullock
Sandra Bullock was a classic beauty! Her crimson Vera Wang gown looked stunning along with her prefect red lips. Was it too safe for Sandra?
Hit: Natalie Portman
Natalie Portman, winner of the 2011 Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her part in “Black Swan,” arrives at the 83rd Academy Awards in Hollywood, California. Pregnant and looking fabulous, Portman was gorgeous in a plum Rodarte gown. This off-the-shoulder neckline was a great pick for her baby bump!
The Jury’s Out: Helena Bonham Carter
Did Helena miss again? Helena, who is always bold with her fashion choices, was bold again tonight. Oscar nominated for her role in “The King’s Speech,” Helena Bonham Carter shows off a Union Jack tied to her leg as she walks the red carpet at the 83rd Academy Awards in Hollywood, California. Her dress was not a total miss and we are proud of Helena for staying true to herself and her curls!
Hit: Jennifer Hudson
Hello, gorgeous! Jennifer Hudson looked amazing and has for a while now. Major props to her for her weight loss—and for keeping the weight off. Her look on the red carpet was breathtaking. Jennifer’s Versace gown complements her skin perfectly. Of course, we would have preferred curls, but her hair did look great with that gown. A slicked back pompadour shows off her flawless face.
Hit and Miss: Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow sparkled as she walked the red carpet in her silver metallic Calvin Klein gown. This was the most modern gown of the evening, playing on its minimalist silhouette with a deep v-neck. Gwyneth took a note from practically all fashion books—simple dress, great accessories. Gwyneth rocked Louis Vuitton earrings and bejeweled belt. Her locks were stick straight—wish she had some texture in those locks. Her dress was a hit but her hair was a miss.
Hit: Mandy Moore
Mandy Moore was a vision during her performance with Zachary Levi when they sang the Oscar nominated song “I See The Light” during the 83rd Academy Awards in Hollywood.
Hit or Miss? Cate Blanchett
Presenter and Oscar winner Cate Blanchett walks on stage during the 83rd Academy Awards in a dress that reminded us a bit of an Easter egg hunt. The color works great with her pale skin and her new platinum bob, but we still have mixed feelings. What do you think?
Hit: Halle Berry
Halle Berry wears a stunning Marchesa gown. She was truly a vision. The color complimented her skin, and her makeup and jewelry were beautifully understated. Her “big chop” look and clear neck helps you focus on the beauty of the dress and her natural beauty.
