Natalie Portman in Rodarte 

I would like to end this Oscar-filled day here at Style Spot with the star of the evening; the most beautiful Natalie Portman. Rumour has it that she was planning to wear a Dior gown, but decided to change because of Galliano being arrested last week. Instead, she wore this plum coloured gown by the Mulleavy sisters at Rodarte. Even though Natalie looked stunning in this colour, I can't help but think what the rumoured Dior gown looked like. I just have this feeling that it would have brought a much greater wow-factor, but I do understand her choice of not wearing Dior.

Last night, was Natalie's moment. And she deserved every bit of it. She was the favourite to win the Oscar for "Actress in a leading role", and I was one of those rooting for her, desperately hoping that she would win. I loved her speech a lot as she was so sweet and genuine. Congratulations Natalie! I was also very happy to see Colin Firth win "Actor in a leading role" - I have had this thing for him ever since I saw him dive into the pond in Pride & Prejudice (and I know I'm not the only one!).

Also, I am very curious to learn who you think was the best dressed of the evening. For me, it was Mila Kunis in Elie Saab. If your favourite is not on the list below, please let me know who you liked instead.

Who had the best Oscar dress?
	Mila Kunis

	Cate Blanchett
	Hailee Steinfeld
	Jennifer Lawrence

Michelle Williams in Chanel

One can never really go wrong when wearing Chanel, and Chanel at the Oscars is just the epitome of glamorous. Michelle Williams wore this elegant Haute Couture Chanel gown, and was therefore the Chanel queen of the evening. It is a very beautiful dress (and much prettier seen on tv than on photos!), but I can't help but feel that I wish she had been a bit more bold with her choice of dress as she was nominated for "Actress in a leading role" for her part in Blue Valentine.



That said, I do like the Edie Sedgwick vibe that she oozes with the blonde pixie haircut and the dyed eyebrows. Maybe this is how Edie would look like if she attended the Oscars? The only difference might have been that Edie would have worn huge earrings and a lot of black eyeliner.

What do you think about Michelle's Chanel look?

Jennifer Lawrence in Calvin Klein

Jennifer Lawrence, nominated for the title as "Actress in a leading role" for her part in Winter's Bone, wore a hot red gown from the Calvin Klein collection. I have read that many found this dress inappropriate and too casual for the Oscars. I do agree that she could have opted for a more glamorous piece for this occasion, but I have to say that I really do like this dress anyway. I love it when celebrities have a red moment (though I wasn't too keen on Anne Hathaway in Valentino, or Sandra Bullock in Vera Wang last night), but I do wish that Jennifer had her red moment with more striking accessories. It is such a simple and fun dress to play around with, so I wish she had taken advantage of that.

Hailee Steinfeld in Marchesa 

14 year old Hailee Steinfeld is the newest and youngest member of the Hollywood it-crowd, and to the Oscars last night she wore a gorgeous custom made Marchesa gown which was fit for a true princess. I love that she opted for such a dress as it is perfect for her age. Together with it she wore Fred Leighton jewelry and Salvatore Ferragamo heels and clutch.

I haven't seen her performance in "True Grit" yet, but I have heard that she is fantastic in it. And I have no trouble believing that. She is so cute, and she seemed so extremely excited to be attending the Oscars. She is very adorable. Hailee is definitely one to watch!

What do you think of Hailee's dress? Do you like her as an actress?

Cate Blanchett in Givenchy Couture S/S 2011

Cate Blanchett in a haute couture gown by Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy was one of the best matches of the evening. Back in late January, I fell head over heels in love with this couture collection as the detailing is absolutely exquisite. This "Tao" dress was one of my favourites. The reason why is because of the lavender and yellow teamed together (such a fresh and exciting combination!) and the contrast between the tough and bold shoulders and the delicate details and fabric.

Alongside my immense hope of seeing an Elie Saab gown last night, I was also hoping to see some Givenchy couture. And I am so happy that Cate was the one to make the bold fashion statement as she is the perfect woman for such dresses. She really lifted the level of fashion last night, and I adore her so much doing that.

Mila Kunis in Elie Saab Couture S/S 2011

You can not believe how excited I was to see Mila Kunis in this incredible haute couture lavender gown by Elie Saab. As some of you remember, yesterday I was hoping that someone would wear a piece from this collection as it comprises so many dresses that are worthy of being at the Oscars. Still, I am glad she chose exactly this dress as it is one of my very favourites from the couture collection.

Mila looked absolutely stunning, and at first I just couldn't stop staring at these photos of her because the dress suits her so well. She definitely ranks very high on my top 5 list. I can almost safely say that she was my favourite of the evening, though there are a few other dresses deserves a lot of attention as they were amazing. Check back very soon to see more!

The 83rd Annual Academy Awards - A Prediction

The Oscars 2011 is just around the corner, and raise a hand if you're looking forward to all the dresses! I never try to make predictions of what everyone are wearing as I like it to be surprised, but this year I have attempted to make a prediction - or a better description is probably that I have a deep, passionate hope - that someone will be wearing Elie Saab S/S 2011 Couture. There are so many Oscar worthy dresses in this collection, and it would be such a shame if none of them will be seen at the awards.

If someone will be wearing Elie Saab, who do you think it will be?

A Golden Statue

Cameron Diaz always looks great at the Oscars. And she certainly did not break that cycle last night. Absolutely stunning!
