LOVE IT: The 84th Annual Academy Awards Red Carpet

The BIGGEST awards show is here...

WHAT: The 84th Annual Academy Awards
WHEN: Sunday, February 26, 2012
WHERE: Hollywood & Highland Center in Hollywood

This year's Oscars is bigger and better.
Meryl Streep took home the Best Actress award for the movie, Iron Lady, while Jean Dujardin of The Artist owned the Best Actor trophy at the end of the night.
The Artist was awarded Best Picture.

The Oscars is the biggest and most anticipated night for all celebs.
This awards show features the most elegant dresses by many different high end designers.
That's why I was kind of disappointed with this year's red carpet fashion.
The gowns weren't as glamorous as I expected.

Let's take a look...



Ellie Kramer, in Armani Prive.



Busy Philipps



Kate Mara, in Jack Guisso Couture.



Lea Thompson



Nancy O'Dell



Shailene Woodley, in Valentino Couture.
I think this dress makes her look old. She should have gone for a more fun and lively dress.



Kristen Wiig, in J. Mendel.



Giuliana Rancic, in Tony Ward Couture.



Louise Roe, in Black Halo design.



Missi Pyle, in an eco-friendly gown.



Milla Jovovich, in Elie Saab.



Rooney Mara, in Givenchy.



Gwyneth Paltrow, in Tom Ford.
I think the cape makes the look totally unique. She makes it work.



Jennifer Lopez, in Zuhair Murad.



Michelle Williams, in Louis Vuitton.



Penelope Cruz, in Giorgio Armani.



Meryl Streep, in Lanvin.
She finally won her third Academy Award after 17 nominations! WOW.
She deserves it.



Sandra Bullock, in Marchesa.
She looks beautiful as always. I just wish it was a little bit tighter in the upper part of the dress.
She looks like she's wearing a t-shirt.



Angelina Jolie, in Atelier Versace.
She's sexy! Look at that leg. LOL.



Emma Stone, in Giambattista Valli.
This is my 2nd favorite red carpet look.
She looks soooo good in that fuchsia Giambattista Valli gown.
It's very conservative and sophisticated.
LOVE the huge bow!

My favorite look of the night was...



Maria Menounos!



She walked the red carpet in an exquisite mint green "cut out" dress.
The color looks beautiful with her skin tone. I love the way it just seems to flow.
It falls down very beautifully with her figure.





She kept her jewelry simple with a single band silver diamond bracelet and a cocktail ring.



She wore minimal makeup with semi-smokey eyes, dark black mascara, light pink coral-y blush, and nude lips.
Her updo consisted of a loose chignon and she wore chandelier earrings to spice up the look.



Did you guys watch the 84th Annual Academy Awards? Who was your favorite of the night?
