The Oscars is the ultimate red carpet event where movie stars from all over have a fashion showdown with the hottest gowns from the top designers. I was plesantly surprised to see more gowns that I liked than disliked, and it was hard narrowing down my top picks. After a lot of thought and consideration I decided that these ladies possessed glamour, sophistication and class in all the right ways.
