2015 Oscars Red Carpet Report: See the Best Dressed!
This is IT, folks — the grand finale of award show season. We kicked things off strong back in January with the Golden Globes, got a little funky at the Grammys (Madonna, we’re looking at you) and now we’re headed straight into the heart of red carpet fashion at the 2015 Academy Awards. We can’t wait to see who walks away with a little gold man, but first things first: the dresses. From elegant ombré to a chainmail-esque gowns, here are our favorite looks from the star-studded evening.
1. Julianne Moore: A frontrunner for Best Actress, Moore kept with the embellished theme she’s been sporting all award season in this beautifully crafted white and black strapless piece — made by Karl Lagerfeld HIMSELF especially for her. You win, Jules. (photo via Jason Merritt/Getty)
2. Lupita Nyong’o: While Lupita’s 2015 Oscar dress isn’t quite as dramatic as that duck egg blue Prada stunner she wore last year, her Calvin Klien pick for this year was decked out with 6,000 pearls and that’s pretty impressive. (photo via Jason Merritt/Getty)
3. Rosamund Pike: The Gone Girl star has been killing it all red carpet season, but this jaw-dropping red Givenchy ensemble might be our favorite of them all. From the detailed waist to the high leg slit to the strappy heels, we’re drooling over it all. (photo via Jason Merrit/Getty)
4. Marion Cotillard: This Dior-wearing darling rocked one of this season’s major red carpet trends… white! The French beauty looked simply stunning in this cut-out look. (photo via Jason Merritt/Getty)

8. Margot Robbie: The smokin’ hot actress rocked it in this sheer black Yves Saint Laurent gown and red lips. While that is a winning combo in and of itself, she went above and beyond with an epically blinged-out tassel necklace. (photo via Jason Merritt/Getty)
9. Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka: This year’s Academy Award show host Neil Patrick Harris walked the red carpet with his husband in a charming silver and gray tux. Are these two just the cutest couple or what? (photo via Jason Merritt/Getty)

15. Cate Blanchett: After reflecting on Cate’s 2011 Givenchy dress we were hoping the star would make waves in a totally fashion-forward look, but she chose to play it safe in a simple black Margiela gown and Tiffany & Co turquoise necklace. (photo via Jason Merritt/Getty)
16. Chloe Grace Moretz: The 18-year-old actress looked totally youthful in this silk and floral strapless Miu Miu dress. The best part? Definitely those pockets. (photo via Jason Merritt/Getty)

19. John Legend and Chrissy Teigen: If there was an award for “most fashionable couple” we’d hand it over to this duo in a second. Chrissy Teigen showed off those ultra-long legs in a Zuhair Murah-designed gown. (photo via Frazer Harrison/Getty)
20. Jennifer Lopez: Jenny from the block? Are you in there? In typical J. Lo fashion she went for it in this Elie Saab showstopper. (photo via Jason Merritt/Getty)
