My Favorites at the Oscar's After Parties

The fashion didn't stop at the Academy Awards Sunday night. It continued to the after parties where we got to see some different celebs give it their all.

First up is Elton John's AIDS Foundation Oscar Party. Nina Dobrev rocked a black J. Mendel gown, while Miley Cyrus went Old Hollywood in Rodarte. Liam Hemsworth looks very nice, as well.

The dramatic fashion continued at the Vanity Fair party. Lily Collins donned a nude Monique Lhuillier gown with blue embroidered flowers. Claire Danes also went for whimsical in a pink Valentino dress with a sheer polka dot overlay. Selena Gomez kept it sexy in a sleek, silver Dolce & Gabanna dress.

Worst Dressed at the 84th Annual Academy Awards

There was a lot of fabulous fashion at the Oscars last night, but as always, there were a few bad apples. Here are my worst dressed from the show:

Shailene Woodley is 20 years old. Let that sink in for a moment. We've seen her rock dresses before, but this white Valentino Couture is way too old for her. Girl, you're young, why are you covering yourself up?

Here is another starlet who shouldn't have covered up. This all black sequin Diane Von Furstenburg number that Anna Faris chose was far too severe and just unflattering.

I will admit that Busy Phillips' Dolce & Gabanna dress isn't that bad. What's horrible is that she paired it with bright (ugly) pink shoes and blue and green earrings. Who styled this??

I saw way too much of Sherri Shepherd last night. The blue was okay, there was too much embellishment on top, AND I can see her bra. Enough said.

Melissa Leo did not look good at last year's Oscars, so I was hoping that she would step up her game to redeem herself this year. Instead she wore this Reem Acra dress. It looks like she wore a sequined buttoned up shirt and wore a sarong over it. Terrible.

Who was your worst dressed?

Honorable Mentions at the Oscars

Normally I only do a best and worst dressed for award shows because that's all that's worth mentioning. However, there were a lot of ladies who looked really good at last night's Oscars. So why not show them a little love?

Yay for Tina Fey for bringing it last night! She looked fabulous last night from head to toe. She told Tim Gunn she was loving the peplum on her Carolina Herrera dress and I have to agree. And who else loves the big hair?

I've really been loving Maria Menounos lately. The Maria Lucia dress was ethereal and the sage color is lovely, which gave her a fresh look. I really want to wear this.

Can we give Natalie Portman a round of applause for wearing vintage polka dots to the Academy Awards? The red gown was 1954 Christian Dior Haute Couture and I thought it was fabulous.

Kristen Wiig made me so happy last night with how good she looked. She's been suffering a little on the red carpets lately, but last night she finally won. I love the structure of this J. Mendel dress, the color, and her hair looked amazing.

I loved that the petition to get the Muppets at the Oscars worked! Sure, only two were allowed, but they won for Best Original Song and Miss Piggy looked fabulous in her custom Zac Posen gown. Seriously, like better than other people there.

Best Dressed at the 84th Annual Academy Awards

Last night was award season's highlight for film and fashion, but let's get right to the point. Here are my best dressed from the 2012 Oscars:

Milla Jovovich went for sophistication and glamour at the Oscars and it paid off. Her white, beaded Elie Saab dress made me sit up and take notice with the way it shimmered. Oh, and that structured shoulder is wonderful.

I am in love with Ellie Kemper's (Bridesmaids) fiery ensemble. The rust/copper Armani Prive dress complimented her red hair and it fit her like a glove. I love how it sparkles, and her earrings are a perfect match. I just love it!

Last night was the best I have ever seen Giuliana Rancic look. Her white Tony Ward Couture dress was so lovely and lavish. A lot of fashion critics have been saying that her hair and makeup were too severe, but I don't think so at all. She was the definition of glamour.

Like most people, I was getting worried that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie hadn't shown up to the red carpet by eight o'clock, but at last they came and wow! Angelina absolutely killed me in this black Atelier Versace gown. She looks absolutely stunning in velvet (Who looks good in velvet?!?!) and her leg stole the show.

Finally! Jessica Chastain has been hit and miss all award season, but last night she finally brought it in an exquisite black and gold embroidered Alexander McQueen gown. She looked amazing and is my absolute Best Dressed for the night.
