Sunday night’s Academy Awards are but a memory, but I’m sure we’ll be talking about Oscars 2016 for a long time.
I predicted Leonardo DiCaprio and Brie Larson would win Best Actor and Actress, and I was right! There weren’t too many surprises except for one: the crowd was shocked when Mark Rylance took home Best Supporting Actor instead of Sylvester Stallone.
Spotlight was in the spotlight as Best Picture, a bit of a surprise as many people predicted the award would go to The Revenant (or The Big Short.)
The red carpet arrivals did not disappoint this year. There were many looks I liked and a few stars called to mind that Old Hollywood glamour that I love. Here are my picks for Oscars 2016 best dressed actresses.
Academy Awards 2016 Fashion: Best Red Carpet Dresses
Brie Larson in a deep blue Gucci gown is my BEST DRESSED of the night! It was hard to choose just one best dressed actress this year. I chose Brie because I love her authenticity, and how she said her red carpet looks, and her journey, reflect “who I am.”

Lady Gaga, Cate Blanchett and Charlize Theron are also at the top of my Academy Awards 2016 Best Dressed List. I went gaga over Gaga in a white jumpsuit by Brandon Maxwell. I gasped with delight when I saw Cate Blanchett in her seafoam green custom Armani Prive gown. Charlize Theron was a stunner in her plunging red Dior gown accented with almost 4 million dollars of Harry Winston jewels!
Here’s another look at The Great Cate in her Armani gown. A total class act and perennial Oscars best dressed who exudes that Old Hollywood classic style that I adore.

My Academy Awards 2016 Best Dressed List also includes:
Julianne Moore so chic wearing a black custom Chanel gown with Chopard earrings and cuff.
Jennifer Lawrence looked incredible in this lingerie inspired black lace Dior gown. Loved the hair and makeup—reminds me of Brigitte Bardot or Catherine Deneuve.

Priyanka Chopra was breathtaking in a white strapless Zuhair Murad gown.

Alicia Vikander has been a fashion superstar this awards season and everyone was buzzing about her yellow strapless Louis Vuitton dress. I loved her graceful, casual hairstyle; her look felt so fresh and youthful.
Saoirse Ronan was striking in her emerald green Calvin Klein sequin slip dress, the color an homage to her Irish heritage. Loved the mismatched Chopard emerald and diamond earrings!

Last (but not least) are two ladies who looked amazing in purple: Naomi Watts in an ombre Armani Prive gown and Tina Fey in Atelier Versace (both actresses wore Bulgari necklaces and now I have a serious case of jewelry envy…)
What an awards season it was. This is the end of our Hollywood awards season coverage of star studded red carpets and best dressed actresses.
It’s a wrap until next year!
