See the Best (and Worst) Dressed from the Oscars’ Red Carpet

With the Oscars only moments away, we’re crossing our fingers that Leo finally walks away with a golden statue (Adele is also rooting for The Revenant star). However, we’re also buzzing over the show-stopping moments that went down before the big event. Here are all the best- (and worst-) dressed celebs from this year’s Academy Awards.

2. Olivia Wilde: Nominated for her involvement in a documentary on Ebola, Olivia showed up in this origami-inspired number by Valentino Haute Couture. With a plunging neckline and a fanned detail in back, this is like nothing we’ve seen before. (Photo via Jason Merritt/Getty)

3. Mindy Kaling: Mindy Kaling’s dramatic gown by Elizabeth Kennedy kept it simple in front but went all out with the drama in the back. Too much? Maybe, but we definitely admire Mindy for taking such a high-stake fashion risk. (Photo via Jason Merritt/Getty)

4. Sofia Vergara: Color has finally made a return on this year’s red carpet, but surprisingly, Sofia played it safe in this embellished navy blue gown by Marchesa. (Photo via Jason Merritt/Getty)
