Oscar fashion: They got it right

Vanessa Hudgens revives old school glamour in a black fishtail gown adorned with white and black orchid-like flowers across the bust and dangly white earrings. Audrey Hepburn would be proud. Her messy updo perfects the youthful, but inspired look

Taraji P Henson looked sure to reel in a trophy in a white, figure hugging fishtail number. While many actresses went with the white look, she did it best. Her diamond-encrusted flowered-inspired necklace was blooming pretty. Her contrasting red bag is a sparkling accent

Model and actress Heidi Klum showed off her best assets these days -- her legs -- in a high slit red asymmetrical and sculptural dress by Roland Mouret

Proving that looking good does comes at a price, Anne Hathaway struggled to move in her uber-tight glimmering champagne-coloured dress by Armani Prive. Walking is, apparently, overrated

Kate Winslet looked dark and sophisticated in her one-shouldered two-tone gown (a big trend) in steel grey and black by Yves Saint Laurent

Mickey Rourke's biggest fashion accessory was a necklace featuring a portrait of his beloved but recently deceased Chihuahua. He bragged he had a tuxedo specially built for his 18-year-old pet Loki, who died in his arms six days ago. Rourke went against the tuxedo trend with a Jean-Paul Gaultier cream-coloured suit with a black vest but sans tie

Penelope Cruz wore a white 1950s Balmain gown, with a strapless neckline and hand-embroidery with gold treads, she got from top vintage curator Rita Watnick's Lily et Cie

Alicia Keys is often over the top, but not here, and all past transgressions are forgiven. From the hair to the strappy shoes, this is perfection in pink
