2011 Vanity Fair Oscars Party : Best Dressed

The 2011 Oscars red carpet was just the beginning. Nominees plus dozens of other young celebs slipped into their cutest cocktail dresses for the Vanity Fair Oscars Party later that night. For those not invited to the main ceremony, this was their opportunity to shine, and there were some definite hits last night. Much like the Academy Awards, reds and nudes stole the show. 
Despite that fact that it feels like Déjà vu every time Taylor Swift hits the red carpet, she did look good at the 2011 Vantiy Fair Oscars Party. She was glowing wearing a Zuhair Murad Spring 2011 dress. Her gold and silver beaded strapless dress with corset back is nothing I haven’t seen from her before though. In fact I feel like I’ve seen this exact head-to-toe look at least twice. But, I guess her motto is, “if it aint broke, don’t fix it." It's not like, this look isn’t appealing, it's just time for her to change up her style a little bit. A wavy updo, red lips, Jimmy Choo platform sandals and a Jimmy Choo clutch completed her look.
I feel kind of bad saying this, but i had absolutely no idea who Mia Wasikowska was. All I knew is that she looked absolutely fabulous on that red carpet. I then looked her up and realized she was Alice, from Alice in Wonderland.  Anyways, Mia dazzled, wearing a Stella McCartney Pre-Fall 2011 dress. The black guipure lace cap sleeve dress was ravishing and complimented her skin tone great! The detailing on it was exquisite and I loved the full-skirted silhouette. She paired the dress with black Brian Atwood peep toes. Can't say I like the shoes, I think a nude heel would have looked better, but I’ll let it slide.
It seems like Jessica Beil has been MIA for a couple months, but Sunday night she re appeared and she looked outstanding – the best I could remember she ever looked! Her Atelier Versace Spring 2011 gown is singing sweet music to me. The gold and silver fully beaded gown with thin straps and draping on the sides shows off her gorgeous body. I don’t think she could’ve picked a better dress for the occasion! Her make-up, her hair, everything is just flawless. She put many at the actual Academy Awards to shame.
Since landing her role in ‘Spiderman’ Emma Stone has become quite the fashionista, and I’m not just saying that because I absolutely adore her! She’s gotten an A+ all award season and she definitely deserved it. Of course it had to be hard to top her Golden Globes Calvin Klein gown, but Emma totally rocked in this colorful Chanel Fall 2009 Couture dress. She added complementary purple satin Salvatore Ferragamo pumps and a Van Cleef & Arpels cocktail ring. They both completed her edgy red carpet look. It’s was a risk, which totally paid off. It’s a shame I can’t say the same about her hair style though. 
Madonna and her daughter Lourdes both walked the red carpet that night. I think it's obvious that I favored Lourdes' dress over Madonna’s though. I know Madonna has got a great body for her age, but I don't think anyone- at any age should wear what she did. Lourdes on the other hand looked adorable and age appropriate in her AllSaints Aztec mini-dress.
