WHO WORE WHAT?.....85th Annual Academy Awards: Halle Berry in Custom Atelier Versace

Halle Berry in Custom Atelier Versace: One word: WOW! Seriously, when she stepped onto the Academy Awards red carpet, I almost threw myself over the TV Guide Network "skyview" balcony where I was working from doing my LIVE red carpet commentating. She looked STUNNING in this black and silver sequined column gown with plunging neckline, padded shoulders and long sleeves. It was made to a 1/4" of her body! I LOVE how the sequined stripes go in different directions and all, accentuating every perfect inch of her body:

You can see the similar aspects and details of her gown from the dresses Donatella Versace recently showed for her Atelier Versace Spring/Summer 2013 Collection at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week:

WHO WORE WHAT?.....85th Annual Academy Awards: Jennifer Garner in Gucci Premiere

Jennifer Garner in Gucci Premiere: I saw this dress from atop the "balcony" while doing my TV Guide Network 2013 Academy Awards Red Carpet Live Show. She looked fabulous from up there! I loved the maroon/violet color and especially the back detail of cascading silk organza. She not only looks like a Movie Star but the wife of a man who is about to win multiple Academy Awards. Very Regal.

And speaking of regal: THAT necklace. Lord have mercy! That is a necklace worthy of a former Empress of Iran (how "Argo" apropos!).

Gucci Premiere, in case you don't know is the Custum Gucci arm of the Gucci Brand--mainly consisting of Red Carpet gowns created just for celebrities and made almost like the Haute Couture creations of Paris.

WHO WORE WHAT?.....85th Annual Academy Awards: Reese Witherspoon in Custom Louis Vuitton

Reese Withersoon in Custom Lous Vuitton: Reese was pretty much perfect in this strapless "mermaid-Lite" style strapless gown in royal blue and black from Louis Vuitton. Reese loves this shape and we can see why. I think the fit was good and her hair: FLAWLESS. Now, I just want to mention the fact that this Custom Louis Vuitton gown:

Has NOTHING to do with what Marc Jacobs showed in his last Louis Vuitton Collection (above)--full of graphic prints and colors. Not even the shape, silhouette or anything corseted. The gown he showed were shift styles with barely a seam for fit in them--save for the side seams and center back. But somehow, it's still "Louis Vuitton". To me, it looked more like Oscar de la Renta. I guess when you get a Custom Gown from Vuitton, they can do whatever you want...

WHO WORE WHAT?.....85th Annual Academy Awards: Nicole Kidman in L'Wren Scott Fall 2013

Nicole Kidman in L'Wren Scott Fall 2013: This midnight blue sequined gown with gold detail was just shown on the runway. So, yes, it's "fresh off the model" and onto Nicole! I like the shape of the gown and we know she loves designer L'Wren Scott (Mick Jagger's partner-in-life). I think she's looked better--and worn better--at past red carpet events. And that hair: WHAT HAPPENED??? I'd be very curious to read what you guys think of the overall head-to-toe look...Let me know!

WHO WORE WHAT?.....85th Annual Academy Awards: Sally Field in Valentino Haute Couture Fall 2012

Sally Field in Valentino Haute Couture Fall 2012: This is one of THE BEST Sally Field has ever looked on the red carpet. Admittedly, she has had a couple misses but this time, I felt, she NAILED IT! Love the deep "Valentino Red" on her, the style, silhouette is appropriate and very diaphanous. I felt as if she might have been vibing a modern day Mrs. Lincoln in this 21st Century! It was like a modern day version of those Poofy Mary Todd Lincoln Gowns she was so famous for.

There was a lot of beautiful drama and fabric in the back of the dress but yet, it looked light as air. Simply gorgeous! Go on Sally Field and "Bravo", House of Valentino! What did you guys think? 

WHO WORE WHAT?.....85th Annual Academy Awards: Jennifer Aniston in Valentino Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2013

Jennifer Aniston in Valentino Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2013:  Once again, RED Valentino. And Haute Couture. This gown was just shown on the Paris runways a couple of weeks back. I love that she wore COLOR. We are so used to seeing her in black, navy or variations of both so Thank You Jennifer! I also like that it was a ball gown as opposed to body-con. 



What I am NOT a fan of is her beach-y hair. I think that's fine if she's wearing a Calvin Klein sheath but NOT in an Haute Couture gown. I am sure Tabatha Coffey, my TV Guide Network 2013 Academy Awards Fashion Wrap co-panelist, might disagree but well, you'll have to watch TOMORROW night at 8/7c on TV Guide Network...to find out!

WHO WORE WHAT?.....85th Annual Academy Awards: Jennifer Lawrence in Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring 2013

Jennifer Lawrence in Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2013: When Jennifer walked onto the red carpet, it was like "OK, kids we have a WINNER!". This is the type of gown one wins a Best Actress Oscar in. 

Strapless silk heavy damask with princess seams and a dropped silhouette that then flares into a voluminous ball gown. The back was architectural and great as well. It was designed by Belgian Creative Director/Designer for Dior Raf Simons and this is his second Haute Couture collection for the House. What do you guys think? One of the best of the night?

WHO WORE WHAT?.....85th Annual Academy Awards: Stacy Keibler in Naeem Khan in Fall 2013

Stacy Keibler in Naeem Khan Fall 2013: Stacy Keibler chose a Silver and Black Metallic Beaded Halter Neck Gown by Naeem Khan.



Stacy is always stunning and statuesque but this dress was one of her best Red Carpet looks yet. The beading had the feel of draped chain mail and the placement and curvature of the beading was genius!



I loved the retro hairstyle which was a BIG trend on the Red Carpet!

WHO WORE WHAT?.....85th Annual Academy Awards: Sandra Bullock in Elie Saab Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2013

Sandra Bullock in Elie Saab Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2013: After viewing the recent Elie Saab Couture Collection in January, I knew that somebody would arrive to the Oscars Red Carpet in one of these amazing gowns.



Sandra Bullock was the one to do it tonight in this gorgeous Black Lace Scalloped and Beaded fitted gown. They, of course, smartly added a lining to the Runway dress for Miss Sandra!!



Loved the dress but she did wear a Diamond Pin in her hair which might be a bit controversial...What did you think?

WHO WORE WHAT?.....85th Annual Academy Awards: Catherine Zeta-Jones in Zuhair Murad Spring/Summer 2013

Catherine Zeta-Jones in Zuhair Murad Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2013: When you want to make a statement on the Red Carpet the new "go to" designer is Zuhair Murad! Catherine looked H.O.T. Hot! in this Gold embroidered Gown over Silk Chiffon. It fit her in all the right places and let the world and Hollywood know that shes still got it!
