BEST: Anna Paquin
This is fab on her; she is pretty good at bringing it to the big events.
BEST: Allison Williams
This is lovely. And THIS is apparently the dress that Anne Hathaway was scared her discarded Valentino would be compared to. Which, yeah, I see it -- but COME ON. NO ONE is going to remember that a cast member of Girls wore something similar when they think about Hathaway winning her Oscar. Poor Anne. she and I both need a vacation. But Williams looks quite pretty.
BEST: Amy Adams
Bombshell. This might be the best she's ever looked.
BEST: Britney Spears
She looks so cute, y'all!
BEST: Carolyn Murphy
This is simple, but gorgeous on her. That color! We don't see enough of it.
BEST: Danai Gurira
This is gorgeous AND it coordinates with the backdrop of the step-and-repeat. That's masterful.
BEST: Diane Kruger
I think this is tremendous.
BEST: Elizabeth Banks
Speaking of tremendous, this is also fantastic.
BEST: Emma Roberts
This is the best she's looked in a long time. Bonus points for how it looks like she has a little collar.
BEST: Fan Bingbing
This is deeply glorious.
BEST: Ginnifer Goodwin
This blue is fantastic on her; she ought to wear it more often.
BEST: Jennifer Lawrence
Shiny!
BEST: Juliette Lewis
Flowery!
BEST: Kate Beckinsale
Princess-y!
BEST: Leslie Mann
Pool party!
BEST: Lily Collins
This is very glam indeed. She decided to go big, rather than home.
BEST: Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Her pockets really work on this.
BEST: Minnie Driver
Shiny, AGAIN!
BEST: Nina Dobrev
She and Elizabeth Banks can go head to head for Best Pattern of the Night.
BEST: Selena Gomez
This is one of the few times that something so delicate and pale really works without looking terrible twee or washing out the wearer.
BEST: Solange
Solange is divine in yellow.
BEST: Vanessa Hudgens
More SHINY. This Oscars was unusually shiny.
WORST: Alessandra Ambrosio
This is like the dress version of an overblown Vegas bathroom.
WORST: Anne Hathaway
Seriously, I pray that Rachel Zoe will one day speak out about how Annie's sartorial choices this Oscar season almost killed her.
WORST: Bonnie Wright
Aw, Ginny. At least she looks happy?
WORST: Chad Michael Murray
This is so terrible it basically comes all the way around again to being AMAZING.
WORST: Christa B. Allen
If only this had been on Revenge</>'s fiery boat explosion.
WORST: Emmy Rossum
Oh, Emmy. The Oscars are not a costume party. Well, not in the strictest sense of the word.
WORST: Faye Dunaway
She can meet CMM in the INSANE TURNS AWESOME section of the party.
WORST: Gabrielle Anwar
I was crying when I met this. Now I'm dying to forget this. This look is sweet misery.
WORST: Hailee Steinfeld
One day, this will be just a blip in her storied and well-dressed career.
WORST: Heidi Klum
WE GET IT.
WORST: Hilary Swank
Subtle.
WORST: Judy Greer
I seriously thought this was Laura Prepon when I saw it. Laura Prepon is SUPER cute, but it's weird when suddenly someone's face doesn't look like it belongs to her.
WORST: Liberty Ross
Just...no.
WORST: Lili Simmons
JUST NO.
WORST: Mena Suvari
In fairness, last year she DID win Fug Nation's Worst Dressed for showing up as a bird.
WORST: Olivia Munn
Remember what we said about too much? Deja vu.
WORST: Rose McGowan
Sigh.
WORST: Zoe Saldana
SO gorgeous. So misguided here.
WORST: Zooey Deschanel
I can smell the dust and mold from here. Through my laptop. Oh, Zooey. You are better than this.
