Cream of the Crop

The Academy Awards are all about elegance, grace, style, and poise. Oh and winning that statue doesn't hurt either. This particular Oscar event was jam packed with beautiful gowns but we have narrowed it down to our four best dressed or what we like to call, the cream of the crop. Camila Alvez was absoluteley stunning in this black Kaufman Franco design. The floor length ball gown was so appropriate for this black tie event and the pockets gave it that added extra that made this dress stand out from the rest. Halle Berry, what can I say other then she looks fabulous in just about anything but this Marchesa just put her over the top! The beaded bodice, the flowing tulle train it all just left me speachless. She can do no wrong and knows how to work it like no other. Jennifer Lawrence looked so sexy in this red dress by Calvin Klen. The dress is so simple yet she still left an impression. The starlet glowed in this body hugging dress which showed off her curves and topped it off with simple, yet elegant makeup and bombshell hair. Lastly, Sandra Bullock has had a hell of a year and nothing screams "look at me now" better then this red Vera Wang gown. The Blind Side actress looked absolutely beautiful in this. Who made your best dressed list? Images and info via www.eonline.com
