Stars adorned the red carpet at the Oscars 85th Academy Awards in Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre this year with inimitably magnificent gowns.
Actress Halle Berry wore a customized, hand-crafted, black Versace gown, embellished with stripes of silver beads and sheer sleeves.
Jessica Chastain wowed the audience in Armani Prive. The bronze, beaded gown, which featured a strapless sweetheart neckline, emanated golden era Hollywood glamour. She brilliantly paired it with nude Volpi Christian Louboutin peep-toe heels and Harry Winston jewelry.
Kelly Rowland, former Destiny Child’s member, wore a black and white Donna Karan atelier strapless dress that had an exaggerated silk duchess sweetheart neckline and a silk gazar skirt.
Kristen Chenoweth arrived in a Tony Ward ball gown embroidered with graceful lace detail on the neck.
Kerry Washington was a vision of elegance in a coral Miu Miu gown, featuring a beaded bodice tied with a bow at the bust line. Her dress provided a stark contrast to the neutral color palate of the evening.
Naomi Watts glowed in an asymmetrical, sequined and glittering Armani gown with an off-center cutout neckline.
