WHO WORE WHAT?.....88th Annual Academy Awards: Rooney Mara in Givenchy Haute Couture S/S 2016

Rooney Mara in Givenchy Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2016

"Carol" actress Rooney Mara wore this ivory colored gown from Givenchy Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2016 collection. The gown--designed by Riccardo Tisci-- had a high neckline, long sleeves, peek-a-boo opening and front cascading slit. The dress itself was hand made of silk tulle with intricate sequin applique....

The original version--as shown at last month's Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week--was in a purple/midnight blue coloration and featured different sequin work. But the silhouette and gown details (high neck, peek-a-boo, long sleeves, etc.) were all the same. This collection marked the return of the famed French fashion house of Givenchy to Haute Couture.

Knot Rooney: I loved the sleek and modern top/center/back knot hairstyle and UBER fierce makeup. I think we are even seeing Rooney trying to smile...a little bit!

What did you guys think of Rooney and this gown? Is it a Yeay or Nay?

Olivia Wilde in Valentino Haute Couture Spring 2016

Olivia Wilde wore a Valentino Haute Couture Creme Pleated Gown with plunging neckline to tonight's 88th Annual Academy Awards. Shades of white have turned out to be a huge trend on the Red Carpet tonight. Personally, with all the controversy, I find it to be quite ironic that so many actresses chose the color...or lack there of! 

I'm not sure if I like this gown on Olivia. The proportions, like Brie Larson, seem off to me. While it works on the long torso of the runway model, on Olivia, it make her look short waisted. I do like the back of the dress, it is interesting and ethereal.

I am also not a huge fan of the choker necklace. I would have loved to have seen a necklace version similar to the the harness the model is wearing. Or a beautiful drop pendant diamond necklace like Charlize Theron. Now that would have made a statement!

 Charlize Theron is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood. She has given us multiple stunning Red Carpet moments, and this look just shows how confident she is in her status as "Red Carpet Royalty". When you are Charlize Theron, all you need is a simple Red Silk Crepe Gown with a plunging neckline down to your navel! It is elegant in its simplicity....and also just happens to be Custom Christian Dior.

Brie Larson is almost a sure bet to win tonight's Oscar for Best Actress, so the pressure is immense to choose a dress that will be iconic and remembered forever. For her very important night, Brie chose a Custom Gucci Gown.

 Personally, I'm not sure if this was the best choice for her. While she obviously looks beautiful, I feel that the proportions aren't right for her body and there is almost too much going on with this gown. The pleated AND ruffled skirt, the encrusted waist and the plunging neckline with chiffon edging all is a bit overwhelming.

 I do love her hair and the beautiful Diamond brooches make her look like a "Oscar Fairytale Princess"!!

Cate Blanchett in Custom Armani Prive

 Cate Blanchett seems to be one of those actresses that NEVER gets it wrong on the Red Carpet (or in her films!). Tonight at the 88th Annual Academy Awards, Cate wore this gorgeous Mint Green Armani Prive Gown.

The gown was covered in beautiful Couture flowers that were made from feathers and crystals. They were strategically placed throughout the gown with a heavy emphasis on the shoulders and bust. The PERFECT look for all the Close-up photos!

 Alicia Vikander in Custom Louis Vikander

Alicia is the "face" of Louis Vuitton, so it was no surprise that she arrived on the Oscar Red Carpet wearing a custom Louis Vuitton gown by designer Nicolas
Ghesquière.

This is obviously a departure from what a Louis Vuitton Ready-To-Wear dress normally looks like as they do not do Red Carpet gowns. This is why a custom designed look was made exclusively for the Oscar nominated actress.

 I love the soft lemon yellow color and the Tea-Length, Hi-Lo hem.  The silver beaded and embroidered detailing is classic "Old Hollywood" and I love how she paired the dress with a very modern silver and Lucite heel shoe.

Her diamond Chandelier earrings were gorgeous too!
