What Should She Wear: Oscars Edition

Jessica Chastain

Valentino Haute Couture

Jessica seems to be so hit and miss when it comes to red carpets. I am very nervous for the Oscars because she can be either very good (see last year's Oscars) or very bad (see the Golden Globes). One thing is for sure, when she turns it out, the turns it out. This Valentino Couture gown is just fashion forward enough to confirm her status as a "fashion girl" but also beautiful enough to appeal to the masses. With her red hair, the icy gray color will certainly pop.

Kerry Washington

Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture

This year has already been a fantastic year for Kerry. While promoting Django Unchained she made a name for herself as one of the most consistently stylish and fashion forward actresses in Hollywood. This gown is made for a true star and I think it would be the perfect cherry on top of an amazing award season and promotional tour for Kerry

Anne Hathaway

Chanel Haute Couture

I know Anne has already worn a white Chanel gown but this gown is my absolute favorite gown produced from the couture collections and I cannot imagine anyone else bringing it to life on the red carpet quite like Anne. She has the figure, height, and confidence to really give this gown justice. Also, since she is pretty much a sure thing to win, she deserves to play princess for a night.

Jennifer Lawrence

Christian Dior Haute Couture

I have little doubt in my mind that Jennifer will be wearing Dior to the Oscars (damn contracts). However, she could be stuck with a worse brand and designer. This gown in fit for a queen and I'm sure will pop against her tan and look stunning while she is up on stage accepting her Oscar.
