"Let&amp;#x27;s talk Oscars 2012 fashion, shall we, gals? The awards season has been building to this moment, where one-shoulder shapes and glittering gowns ruled the red carpet. Check out our favorites, then cast your vote for best dressed! Most Unexpected: After an awards season full of pastel dresses, it was such a refreshing change to see Jessica Chastain in a regal embroidered gown by Alexander McQueen. She was leading ABC&amp;#x27;s best dressed poll when the show started! Chicest import: The Artist star Berenice Bejo is half Argentine, half French, all utterly chic. We haven&amp;#x27;t seen sleeves look this good since Kate Middleton&amp;#x27;s wedding gown! Her mint green Elie Saab number was demure and exquisitely detailed. Supermodel work: Milla Jovovich also wore Elie Saab. Her embellished one shoulder gown was pure Hollywood glamour and let her natural beauty shine through. Most Un-boring Use of Black: Rose Byrne made a major style statement in a one-shoulder sequin gown by Vivienne Westwood. Check out that rear view! A blunt bob and Chanel fine jewelry completed the look. Blushing Beauty: Can we just take a moment to gush over how incredible Bridesmaids star and nominee Melissa McCarthy looks in this goddess gown by Marina Rinaldi? The lighter color is a chic departure for her, and her Brian Atwood shoes have a special message in the bottom just for her--she revealed that she&amp;#x27;s been friends with the designer since high school! Best Accessory to George Clooney: It takes a pretty special gown to draw our eye away from a professional hunk like nominee George Clooney, but Stacy Keibler&amp;#x27;s gold Marchesa number did the trick. She looks like a human Oscar! Juuust Enough Skin: Viola Davis did decolletage exactly right in this emerald gown by Vera Wang--the fit is impeccable and her skin is positively glowing. Pretty in Pleats: The exact color of Michelle Williams&amp;#x27; Louis Vuitton dress is still up for debate--she and Ryan Seacrest were waffling between coral and pomegranate on the red carpet--but the fact that it&amp;#x27;s fabulous wasn&amp;#x27;t lost on anyone. It&amp;#x27;s sweet and on-trend (check out that peplum!) and so incredibly her. Most Gorgeous Gams: Hello, hotness! Angelina Jolie showed off one of her best assets in a strapless Atelier Versace dress with a daring thigh-high slit. Brand Ambassador of the Season: We&amp;#x27;ve seen Octavia Spencer on the red carpet wearing Tadashi Shoji over and over again this season--and the gowns get better each time! This figure-flattering platinum starburst dress was worth saving for last. Hottest Mama: Is it warm in here, or is it just a super-buff Jennifer Lopez killing it in Zuhair Murad? This is classic J.Lo, from the cutouts to the cleavage to the sleek-and-sexy &amp;#x27;do! Best Use of Color: Time to play favorites, ladies: Emma Stone gets my vote, hands down, in Giambattista Valli. It reminded the E! crew of Nicole Kidman&amp;#x27;s Balenciaga gown from a few years back, and I can totally see the similarities, but I think she made this look like her own! Biggest Risk Taker: Leave it to Gwyneth Paltrow to totally write her own rules on Oscar night! Her white Tom Ford gown was equal parts minimalist and edgy--who else could pull off a built-in cape? One-of-a-Kind Stunner: &amp;quot;If you like the dress, I did nothing,&amp;quot; Penelope Cruz said on the pre-Oscar red carpet. She called her off-the-shoulder Armani Priv&amp;amp;eacute;, made just for her, &amp;quot;one of my favorite dresses that I&amp;#x27;ve ever worn.&amp;quot; Okay ladies, time to dish!
