81st Academy Awards Red Carpet Arrivals

Hope it's not too late for me to summarise on the recent 81st Academy Awards red carpet arrivals. :)

Natalie Portman with her very smart choice-she looks pretty in pink in a Rodarte dress by designers Kate and Laura Mulleav

Jennifer Aniston looks so classy and sparkles in a silver Valentino gown

Anne Hathaway wears an elegant silver Armani Prive gown

Beyonce Knowles looks bigger wearing her own House of Dereon dress

Miley Cyrus is like a Disney Princess in a silver Zuhair Murad gown

Penelope Cruz wears a romantic vintage gown by Pierre Balmain

Kate Winslet wears a gorgeous shade of blue evening gown in grey degrade satin and embroidered black silk tulle Atelier Yves Saint Laurent by Stefano Pilati

Freida Pinto looks stunning in a royal blue one-sleeved John Galliano gown-even it is not the original runway design.Look how she showed a little color with the blue on the carpet while everyone else was either wearing red or black mostly and she suddenly popped in blue!

Angelina Jolie opted for a classic black strapless dress by Elie Saab at the 2009 Oscar’s. She looks kinda boring and she should have taken a risk.

For Evan Rachel Wood, the colour looks glorious next to her skin and it is dramatic without overwhelming her in this Elie Saab dress

Marisa Tomei's dress is the Oscar glam! The pleat design by Versace does in a very interesting pattern all the way around and is perfect...it fits her great and she looks amazing

It is hard for a large woman to find a pretty dress that doesn't accentuate her size. Queen Latifah has done it with this navy Georges Chakra Spring 2009 couture gown.It is a lovely dress, beautiful color and it fits fairly well.

The lovely Alicia Keys wore a lilac Armani Prive gown, which chaperoned her lithe style rather elegantly.

Taraji P. Henson opted for a beautiful Roberto Cavalli gown

I can say that most of the dresses for this year's Oscar were quite safe with a mixture of modern and classic designs.

The celebrities may excel on the silver screen, but it seems that they prefer to maintain in a safer way when it comes to the red carpet.. Better luck next year!
