top 5 dress picks from the oscars 2012

This year more than most, I was not very interested in the Academy Awards for the actual awards (I had seen a whopping one of the films nominated for best picture). I was interested in the dresses. All Awards Season, I was waiting for this fashion grand finale, and the ladies of Hollywood did not disappoint. 

Here are my top 5 favorites:

Rose Byrne in Vivienne Westwood

(Black and sparkly, this dress showed off her statue-like figure and showed her lovely shoes)

 Milla Jovovich in Elie Saab

(She looks gorgeous in this one shoulder, beaded number that shows off her lady-like figure)

Rooney Mara in Givenchy

(Simple, white, and modern.)

Kristen Wiig in J.Mendel

(I am a sucker for blush and sweetheart necklines.)

Jessica Chastain in Alexander McQueen

(Jessica Chastain stood out in this gorgeous, intricately embroidered gown, which went perfectly with her hair)
