For me:

Cate Blanchett - perfect styling with the 1980s hair and the turquoise necklace, adore the look. She always looks classy.

Emma Stone - fun and funky with personality. An unusual colour but perfect on her.

Jennifer Hudson - love that butter yellow, and the shape is so flattering. Wonderful earrings - the whole look is simple.

Sienna Miller - a different look for her, but a gorgeous shape. I really loved the detailing, and I thought her hair do was great with the neckline.

Several of the gowns were beautifully shaped I thought, creating a stunning silhouette.

If I was to attend the Oscars (which I am not planning to) I would love to wear Sienna's gown. I feel this one would work best on me of the four.

How about you, which looks did you like and what would you wear to attend the Oscars in your imaginary life?

My favorites were Naomi Watts (my number one overall) and Sienna Miller ( also the look I would wear -- best for my shape -- if I were in shape, and probably a bit younger too).

Naomi Watts, to me, was stunning. Her dress had more shine and complexity than I usually am drawn to, but something about the simple lines of the dress pulled it all together for me. Plus that gorgeous neckline. I just loved it.

Sienna Miller has such a gift for finding dresses that are both demure and sophisticated -- I love the contrast between the top and bottom, and I love that it is a solid color but interesting in a subtle, almost secret way. So funny it's your pick and mine as the dress to wear!

Loved soooooo many looks including Cate Blanchett, Kerry Washington, sienna Miller, Marion Cotillard, Meryl Streep when she presented those who have passed away.

Above all I loved the smile on Julie Andrew's face. She absolutely sparkled. I couldn't get over how beautiful she looked, when she came on after Lady Gaga's performance

I LOVED the show last night. You'll get a detailed blog post this afternoon about my loves. We have two people in common so far.

Yes Lady Gaga's performance was brilliant as was Julie Andrew' smile.

I haven't seen many of the Oscar nominated films (except for the wonderful Grand Budapest Hotel and Unbroken which only featured in a minor way). I do want to see The Imitation Game and Selma.

Loved Anna Kendrick's tangerine dress - it had a beautiful combination of simplicity and soft movement. And the color was so refreshing.

Shout out too to Emma Stone and Cate Blanchett.

And I thought Lady Gaga's performance was the highlight of the show. Spectacular!

Cate Blanchett and Emma Stone were high on my list as well. Both know how to dress to suit their personalities and highlight their best features. Cate in particular is a master at this.
I also loved Marion Cotillard's gown. She often wears Dior and I always look forward to seeing what she will wear because it is without fail simple, elegant, understated and perfectly suited to her.
I wish I could wear an unadorned, long-sleeved black gown like Julie Andrews and look as stunning as she did. Talk about confidence. Oh well, maybe when I'm 75 I will have enough gravitas to carry that off. One can only hope.
On another note, I too was blown away by Lady Gaga's performance. I knew she could sing but man, that was a whole other type of performance for her. She absolutely nailed it. I loved seeing the room full of jaded theatre folk give her a standing ovation. I wish I could have heard what Julie Andrews said to her afterwards because I could tell Julie Andrews thought she did well too.

ETA: Rosamund Pike. I can't believe I forgot her. My goodness. Not only did she look stunning, she looked like that after having a baby 3 months ago. When I was 3 months postpartum the best I could do was a jersey skirt with stretchy waistband. Hers would be the dress I would wear if I were attending the Oscars and had the budget to do it.

I loved Anna Kendrick and Emma Stone's dresses. I thought this was the overall best Academy Awards red carpet ever. So many beautiful gowns.

Lady Gaga's singing blew me away -- and Julie Andrews was a delight and looked amazing.
