A-list beauties everywhere at The Oscars but there was only one real risk-taker and that was Janelle Monae - she gets my best dressed. She wore that Elie Saab gown like a winner. Look through the slideshow above to see my fave picks, and to be clear, these ladies and gents were gorgeous, smashing and glamorous, but I want to see show-stoppers at The Oscars. Of course, one can say that the La La Land / Moonlight fiasco was a show-stopper. Literally!

OSCAR FASHION 2016

Charlize Theron in Dior

Alicia Vikander in Louis Vuitton.

This is a different look for Louis Vuitton but it works so well with Alicia Vikander. She looks young and chic.

Brie Larson in Gucci

I liked this dress when I first saw it but fell in love with it when Brie Larson walked up the steps to grab her Oscar. It flowed so beautifully and fit perfectly.

Cate Blanchet in Armani Prive

Not any woman call pull off seafoam green but Cate Blanchet is in a fashion league of her own. She knows fashion and knows how to wear it. Love.

Chrissy Teigan in Marchesa

Stunning. Chrissy Teigan is gorgeous right now, even more than usual.

Heidi Klum in Marchesa

Or is it Heidi Klum in a Project Runway contestant fail?? 

Jennifer Garner in Atelier Versace

Jennifer Garner looks like a movie star. Old Hollywood glam.

Jennifer Lawrence in Dior

Kerry Washington in Versace

I love this look but not for The Oscars. Perhaps better suited for the Fifty Shades of Grey movie premiere?

Julianne Moore in Chanel Haute Couture

I'm a huge Juliane Moore fashion fan but this dress missed the marked. Maybe I just don't like her in black? Her "chic" factor was missing.

Kate Winslet in Ralph Lauren

Well... hmmm. No.

Jennifer Jason Leigh

While the color washed her out, compared to her character in the Hateful Eight, I'll take her washed out any day.

Lady Gaga in Brandon Maxwell

If you're going to wear pants to The Oscars, THIS is how you do it!

Margot Robbie in Tom Ford

Or as I call her, Ms. Oscar... Margot Robbie is a golden and flawless female Oscar.

Naomi Watts in Armani Prive

One of my faves. 

Olivia Munn in Stella McCartney

Olivia Wilde in Valentino

Side boobage couture. If the glorified suspenders weren't so "glorified" this dress would work.

Rachel McAdams in August Getty Atelier

Rooney Mara in Givenchy

The dress is gorgeous. I'd like to see Rooney Mara wear color and perhaps crack a smile.

Saoirse Ronan in Calvin Klein Collection

A vision is sparkling green.

Sarah Silverman in Zac Posen

Sofia Vergara in Marchesa

I'll give Sofia Vergara props for stepping outside her comfort zone of the mermaid kind. That's all.

Tina Fey in Atelier Versace

Tina Fey is as elegant as she is funny. This is a very good look.

The biggest fashion party in the world, aka, The Oscars, brought all the glam and glitz to the red carpet that we love. Dior, Gucci, Armani and many of the other usual suspects graced their trains on the backs of Hollywood's A-listers. Charlize Theron is almost always my favorite. In Dior couture, of course, the last wore red. And diamonds. The hair was perfection. My number 1. Lady Gaga's transformation from meat couture to glamorous starlet sets her way high on the show-stopper scale. Then we have Olivia Wilde who "wore" her golden globes to The Oscars and covered them up with two strips of fabric and the lovely Kerry Washington dressed in dominatrix couture.
