Oscars 2011 - Best Dressed

Halle Berry in Marchesa....flawless hair and make-up, beautiful jewels and a stunning Red Carpet-worthy gown....

Hailee Steinfeld.....beautiful in a Marchesa gown which she helped design

Helen Mirren looking absolutely fantastic in Vivienne Westwood - such a great colour for her and as always, her hair and make-up are the right tones to give her a totally radiant look

Sandra Bullock in Vera Wang

Gwyneth Paltrow in Calvin Klein

Amy Adams in L'Wren Scott (loved the colour and the jewels - altho not necessarily together!)

Cate Blanchett in Givenchy....not everyone's choice but I thought she carried it off perfectly

Hilary Swank in Gucci Premiere

Michelle Williams in Chanel Haute Couture....I'm not usually a fan of very pale gowns and Michelle Williams can often be hit and miss for me....but she looked beautiful in this

Florence Welch in vintage Valentino

Camila Alves in Kaufman Franco

I have to say that there wasn't one stand-out dress for me this year at the Oscars....lots that I liked but not many that I loved AND ticked all the boxes...many people got the right colour but wrong dress - or wrong shoes....some dresses just weren't "enough"....and some, as always, were way too much!

And if you need a man behind you to carry your dress, then I'm not sure it's the right choice.

It's the Oscars, you can't be glamorous enough, in my opinion.

Having spent today browsing many images and catching up on the Red Carpet footage, I have concluded that the above selection are my absolute favourites.

And finally.....well done Colin Firth and "The King's Speech", a wonderful movie....and Christian Bale and Melissa Leo who were just fantastic in "The Fighter".
