I love when actresses dress for formal occasions to show off their tattoos, so think this shot of the back of Evan Rachel Wood’s dress is pretty rock and roll. But, the dress itself was a bit tame, if beautiful. Not a lot of risks on tonight’s red carpet! Wood is wearing Elie Saab, with Stuart Weitzman shoes, a Sergio Rossi bag and Neil Lane jewelry. She also told Ryan Seacrest she was wearing Benefit perfume, teehee.
Someone said after one of the previous awards shows that she is going to regret wearing so much makeup when she was young, because it really ages her, and I think that rang true tonight as well. Just because your boyfriend wears a ton of makeup doesn’t mean you have to, honey.

I really, really hope this is the beginning of seeing more Rodarte on the red carpet. And an auspicious start it was. Natalie Portman was perfectly appropriate for a presenter’s role – fashionable without being overdone. Ever the vegan, she also wore Stella McCartney shoes (always animal friendly), a vintage Rialto clutch and Kwiat jewelry. She stood out in what I think was the only pink dress on the carpet, but kept things simple and classic. And of course was hilarious with Ben Stiller on stage.

From Kim at Catwalk Queen…
Will it be Kate Winslet’s night? While we wait to see if ‘our’ Kate will nab her first Oscar, here she is arriving at the Kodak Theatre earlier. Dressed in a one-shouldered steal-grey Atelier Yves Saint Laurent gown, it mixed things up with an embroidered mesh panel. Make-up and hair was flawless and with jewellery toned down, she added a Chopard bracelet and earrings. Overall, it was a simple and sophisticated look, but will it be the dress that sees Kate written into the history books?

HOT COUPLE ALERT! We spot Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie smiling for the paps and looking sharp as always. Typically, Angelina chose a simple black draped, strapless gown by Elie Saab and clutch. But the Oscar nominee did add a touch of colour with a whopping emerald ring and earrings by Lorraine Schwartz.

Seriously, what’s cooler than Balmain? Vintage Balmain. Penelope Cruz had her eye on this vintage piece for eight years and finally decided now was the time to wear it. I can’t help but fear that she stole some girl’s wedding dress out from under her, but glamorous, glitzy white gowns are the trend of the 2009 Oscars. Cruz won the Best Supporting Actress award for Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Catwalk Queen’s Kim Foster writes…
Sarah Jessica Parker left mouths gaping when she hit the red carpet tonight. Dressed in a stunning strapless mint green Christian Dior Haute Couture customised gown, the Sex and the City star stuck close to hubby, Matthew Broderick. Loving the soft wavy hair and make-up. Did you notice the lack of bling?

Like her film Slumdog Millionaire, Freida Pinto is the true Cindarella story of the 2009 awards season. She has struck us every time with her beauty and intelligence, but unfortunately has yet to truly strike us with her fashion. Tonight we were glad to see her in something a little brighter and a shape inspired by her home country. But her blue John Galliano gown wasn’t as youthful as we would have liked. She wore Jimmy Choo shoes, Judith Leiber bag and a Martin Katz ring featuring a 150-year-old vintage diamond from India.

Talking to Mark Badgley and James Mischka today at the launch of their new fragrance, Couture, they let slip some Oscar fashion scoopage! They *are* dressing one of the best actress nominees – so it’s Anne Hathaway, Angelina Jolie, Melissa Leo, Meryl Streep or Kate Winslet. They also said the actress in question does have the fragrance and perhaps hinted that she would be part of the advertising campaign.
“We think it’s important that the Oscars remain important and aspirational,” James Mischka said. “If they all wear black strapless dresses it will be sad.”
The guys were super sweet, and I just loved The Fall 09 Badgley Mischka collection earlier this week, so they’ve definitely earned a fan in me. Be sure to check ShinyGloss for more on the fragrance!

Amongst all the fashion week madness, you may have forgotten that Sunday night is the biggest night on the red carpet calendar and one of our favorite nights of the year, The Academy Awards. Stars like Kate Winslet, Anne Hathaway, Amy Adams, Angelina Jolie, Penelope Cruz and Marisa Tomei are expected to walk the Oscars red carpet, and everyone wants to know what they’ll be wearing. Rumours are rife and designers are battling for the ‘free’ publicity in the midst of a recession, and Gemma from Catwalk Queen has made a few predictions. Click the image to see a gallery of the dresses we hope (or think) we’ll see on Sunday night!
