Oscar 2012: 10 Best Dressed

Here's a look at the Top 10 best dressed actresses from the Oscars.

Best Actress nominee Michelle Williams was a charm in red in Louis Vuitton. Michelle has a great fashion track record at the Oscars. Her yellow Vera Wang the year she was nominated for Brokeback Mountain is now red carpet legend.

Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace: "I'm sexy and I know it." This has to be the best black number in Angie's history of black numbers. And fo sheer attitude, she can't be outdone.

Gwyneth Paltrow is a fashion risk taker in pristine Tom Ford with a cape. 10 on 10 for gutsiness.

Best Supporting Actress nominee Jessica Chastain in bespoke Alexander McQueen.Her flaming hair is the best accessory for the stunning dress.

Best Actress nominee Rooney Mara in Givenchy. She's made a red carpet career out of wearing Goth princess dresses. It's a hard look to pull off but Rooney manages it in style.

Emma Stone is sophisticated in Giambattista Valli Haute Couture. Her dress brings to mind Nicole Kidman's oversize bow-adorned red dress from 2008. We think Emma looks great.

Penelope Cruz picks blue Giorgio Armani. The old-fashioned ballgown silhouette suits Peneleope's curves and the colour sets off her olive skin.

Berenice Bejo in sparkly sea-green Elie Saab who was a popular designer on this year's red carpet, like every year.

A dress as shiny as this would make most actresses shy away but brave Rose Byrne is stunning in Vivienne Westwood.

Milla Jovovich, who presented the technical awards earlier this month, went for old Hollywood glamour in glittering Elie Saab (we told you he was popular)and sideswept hair.
