Hathaway may have picked up an award for Best Supporting Actress for her turn in Les Misérables, but her dress wasn't exactly best in show. Between the strappy open back and the straight-cut front (which even earned its own Twitter handle), the light pink Prada gown wasn't our favorite of her award season styles. B-

Jennifer Lawrence

Oh, Jennifer Lawrence, we expected so much more from you. This year's Best Actress winner stepped out in an immaculately fitted Dior Haute Couture gown that, while beautiful, would have been better suited at a wedding altar than an awards show. B

Jessica Chastain

The Zero Dark Thirty star was the epitome of Hollywood glam in this beaded Armani Privé gown with a classic silhouette that she accented with a classic red lip and sultry waves. A

Charlize Theron

Style, Style: Red Carpet | She wasn't a nominee, but with that white Dior Haute Couture bustier dress, those Harry Winston diamonds, and her post-movie pixie hair , Theron was — Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic

Now this is how you do white. (Did you hear that, Jennifer?) The Snow White and the Huntsman star stole the spotlight in a chic Dior Haute Couture gown that she capped off with a touch of Harry Winston and a pixie cut (chopped for her upcoming turn in Mad Max: Fury Road). A+

Naomi Watts

Though we applaud Watts for taking a risk with this bold Armani Privé number, we're going to have to give the cutout on this otherwise dazzling dress the cold shoulder. B-

Helen Hunt

Hunt's strapless navy gown may not have been a show-stopper, but it certainly garnered attention after the actress told reporters it was both eco and budget-friendly (it's from H&M!). B

Sandra Bullock

Bullock may not have been nominated for an award, but she was definitely a winner in this beaded, lace Ellie Saab gown that looked like it came straight from the set of Downton Abbey. B+

Sally Field

Octavia Spencer

Spencer turned to Tadashi Shoji, her designer of choice, for this beautiful blush ensemble with a tulle shoulder. B

Reese Witherspoon

Witherspoon told reporters her teen daughter, Ava, helped pick out this elegant blue Louis Vuitton gown. A young stylist in the making? We think so. B+

Nicole Kidman

Kidman turned heads in this sleek black and gold metallic gown by L'Wren Scott. B+

Amy Adams

Though we adored Adams' romantic feathered Oscar de La Renta dress, we wish she had pulled the look together with better hair and makeup. B-

Amanda Seyfried

Les Misérables indeed. Seyfried disappointed in an overly embroidered custom Alexander McQueen dress and dowdy up-do. C-

Kerry Washington

Red may have been a hot color on the carpet this season, but the Scandal star's Miu Miu dress — with its sparkly embellishments and bow — veers straight into Christmas territory. Next time, Kerry, just borrow a dress from Olivia Pope's closet. C+

Kristen Stewart

Style, Style: Red Carpet, ... | Sorry Twihards. Though Stewart gets points for ditching her crutches to walk the carpet, her ill-fiitting floral Reem Acra frock simply wasn't enough to stand — Jason Merritt/Getty Images

Sorry Twihards. Though Stewart gets points for ditching her crutches to walk the carpet, her ill-fiitting floral Reem Acra frock simply wasn't enough to stand on. C-

Catherine Zeta-Jones

Word of advice: Just because you're at the Oscars doesn't mean you should dress like one. D-

Jennifer Aniston

Aniston's Valentino gown may not have been the most exciting look of the night, but the bold red color helped it stand out. B-

18 of 22

Adele

After trying her hand at a print ensemble, Adele is back to black — though that's not necessarily a good thing. The new mom stepped out in a Jenny Packham gown that, though nice, was a touch too matronly for her age. (She's only 24, people!) C+

Halle Berry

Jennifer Garner

The only saving grace of Garner's wine-colored Gucci gown? She spent most of the evening seated, which meant we didn't have to see that terrible tail-feather back. D+

Renée Zellweger

Style, Style: Red Carpet, ... | From the Bridget Jones hair to the boxy cut and fool's-gold shine of her Carolina Herrera dress, Zellweger's look is a top to bottom fashion — Frazer Harrison/Getty Images

From the Bridget Jones hair to the boxy cut and fool's-gold shine of her Carolina Herrera dress, Zellweger's look is a top to bottom fashion flop. Also, what's with those mismatched bangles? D

Zoë Saldana

What happened, Zoë? Our one-time fashion favorite clearly missed the mark in this belted Alex Mabille couture dress, which was accented with a busy floral appliqué and a depressing grey ombre train. The peep-toe pumps with bow detail tied the knot on this dreadful ensemble. F
