Anne Hathaway at the 2011 Oscars

I don't think that Anne did a great job hosting the Oscars but she did an amazing job changing into 8 fabulous outfits during the show and carried all of them beautifully. Her hairdo changed each time as well (even her nail polish) and she looked stunning in every look. Her grand entrance was in the arm of Valentino Garavani. She was in a strapless red Valentino gown with some flower and ruched skirt details which was borrowed from the Valentino archive. (I guess it is a very big deal)

And from the moment Anne and James Franco opened the show, it was the wardrobe changes that made the show easier to watch. Great job Rachel Zoe for picking great gowns for Anne!

Russell Brand at the 2011 Oscars

British actor & comedian Russell Brand-probably most of us know him as the hubby of Katy Perry and the movie 'Get me to the Greek'- was on my 'best dressed men' list. I loved his polished rock star look in the navy fitted tux with black lapels and  a matching black skinny tie. His plead dress shirt stood up as a nice detail in his look. It was different than a classic tux and he absolutely looked great and appropriate for the occasion while keeping his signature 70's rock 'n' roll style. And I have to say, he was very funny while mistranslating Helen Mirren's French.

Funny and crazy Brit usually goes for the skinny pants and very fitted blazers and pointy boots on his red carpet looks, accessories with interesting scarves or chain necklaces. The only thing I am not a fan of is, his poses with eyes wide open. LOL..

Russell came to the Oscars with his mom since wifey Katy is on a world tour

Hilary Swank at the 2011 Oscars

I had one of my WOW moments at the Oscars when I saw Hilary Swank. She walked down the red carpet in a gorgeous silver sequin strapless Gucci Premiere gown with ombre feathers at the bottom and a long train. It was a very feminine and romantic dress despite her masculine face and arms but she pulled it off nicely.

She finished her look with minimal make up & jewelry (she only wore rings) and a slicked back hair with a pin at the back. And voila..She definitely delivered the Hollywood glamour and looked like a million dollar baby.
