Molly’s look is another on my list that is both a vision and a work of art. This lavender Tadashi Shoji gown is super ethereal. She coordinated with her look a gold Salvatore Ferragamo clutch.

2016 Oscars — Best Dressed

Posted on March 2, 2016 by SMM

There were indeed some stunning looks at the 2016 Oscars. Here are my top picks from the evening’s red carpet!

Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer radiates in this lacy black Christian Dior Couture gown. Other look details include —

Chopard jewelry
Make up — Dior Rouge Dior Lipstick in #359 Miss and Dior Addict Ultra Gloss #343 Spring Ball (out in March!)
Styling — Jill & Jordan

Chrissy Teigen

Chrissy looks sensational in this crimson lace Marchesa gown. I love that she is brimming with such beauty and this look is certainly eye-catching. Full look details —

coordinating Swarovski clutch
Lorraine Schwartz jewelry
Makeup by Mary Philips using Lorac Cosmetics
Hair — Christian Wood
Styling — Monica Rose
Nails — Kimmie Kyees

Other beauty look details —

TRESemme Beauty-Full Volume Mousse and TRESemme Beauty-Full Volume Hair Maximizer (each $4.99) Mousse is back with a vengeance this season, but this isn’t the stuff of your worst middle school nightmares. It’s light and airy, and paired with volumizing cream (hairstylist Christian Wood applied it only to the ends of Teigen’s hair) it creates the just-right amount of hold for a braid or updo.

Makeup artist Mary Phillips used the Lorac Unzipped Palette—the lighter colors in it for lift and highlighting, and the darker colors for depth and pop. In-between eyelash hairs, Phillips applied Lorac Front of the Line Pro Liquid Eyeliner in Black to create a thicker, bolder lash line without the heaviness of a full line sitting on top. She then used Lorac Front of the Line Pro Eye Pencil in Bronze and topped it off with Lorac Pro Mascara.

Isla Fisher

This Marchesa gown is nothing short of a work of art. Isla looks beautiful. Her other look details are inclusive of —

Ivory Salvatore Ferragamo clutch
Norman Silver Diamonds
Styling — Jill & Jordan
Makeup — Dior Contour Lipliner #952 Rouge Royale and Dior Rouge Dior Lipstick #858 Royale

Saoirse Ronan

This is a great color, not only for Saorise, but also for the red carpet. This custom Calvin Klein Collection gown is simply radiant. The rest of her look details include —

Chopard jewelry
Hairstylist Adir Abergel gave Saoirse Ronan a soft tumble of loose waves, using Luxurious Volume Perfectly Full Mousse and Luxurious Volume Forever Full Hairspray, both by John Frieda
Chanel Rouge Coco Ultra Hydrating Lip Colour in Adrienne

Other beauty look details —

John Frieda Luxurious Volume Perfectly Full Mousse ($5.99) This formula in particular is great for volume, if you couldn’t tell from the crazy lift hairstylist Adir Abergel gave Ronan’s hair after letting it air-dry with the product in, and then using a round brush and hair dryer to add movement.

Makeup artist Mai Quynh started by applying Chanel Illusion D’Ombre Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow in Mysterio from lashline to crease. She then layered Chanel Quadra Eyeshadow in Tisse Smoky on top (specifically applying the gray shadow all over the lower lid) and the black shade along the lashline and into the crease. She then smudged gray shadow along the lower lashline and rimmed the eyes with Chanel Stylo Yeux Waterproof Long-Lasting Eyeliner in Feuilles. To finish, she added two coats of Chanel Le Volume de Chanel Mascara in Noir.

Anna-Marie Carpendale

Not sure of the look details for Anna Marie, but I do love this sparkly deep V-neck gown, gorgeous!

Sofia Vergara

Sofia is the epitome of glamour and beauty in this strapless, flowing navy Marchesa gown, complete with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry. Huge kudos to her glam team as well —

Kelsey Deenihan for makeup
Kelly Klain for hair
Jill & Jordan for styling

Cate Blanchett

This mint green Armani Prive looks sensational on Cate. It is adorned with Swarovski crystal & feathers. She added some extra sparkle with Tiffany & Co. jewelry. And for a pre-beauty regime, she applied a facial treatment courtesy of SK-II.

Dorith Mous

Dorith appeared as if she was straight out of a fairy tale book, dazzling in this black Dennis Diem gown. Other look details were as follows —

Hoorsenbuhs rings
Michael Duenas for hair

Naomi Watts

I’m familiar with this Armani print, but I really enjoyed seeing it in a different silhouette. Naomi for sure rocked the look! Her other look details included —

jewelry and clutch by Bulgari
Make up details — L’Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte Gloss in Rouge Envy ($9.99)

Diane Mizota

Diane looked beautiful, but also very sexy in this sparkly Thai Nguyen look. Her other look details were —

Ash & Ames jewelry

Tracey Edmonds

Tracey looked so lovely in this pearl adorned ivory fitted gown by Lorena Sarbu. Other look details —

Neil Lane Jewelry
Forevermark diamonds
Stuart Weitzman heels
Styling by Julie Kozak & Kelly Smith Style
Hair by Alyn Topper

Tina Fey

Tina went the minimalist route, but did so very well by picking this extraordinary color, royal purple. So her Atelier Versace look was an A+ in my book. And her statement-making necklace was courtesy of Bulgari.

Sylvester Stallone & Jennifer Flavin

No Best Dressed list is complete without a dynamic duo and one of my picks, Sylvester and his gorgeous bride Jennifer. They are killing it in their black ensembles, both courtesy of Saint Laurent.

Tom Hardy & Charlotte Riley

Another stunning pair on the Oscars red carpet. Tom and Charlotte, who also rocked all black looks. Tom was stylish in a black Gucci tuxe with Louboutin shoes and Cutler & Gross sunglasses. Charlotte opted for a ravishing Gauri & Nainika gown with a immaculately crafted lace bodice.

Sam Smith

Sam was quite dapper in his classic black tuxe from Dunhill. Other look details included —

Lauren Sarmes for styling

Georgina Hamed for beauty

Ryan Seacrest

And last, but certainly not least, Mr. Ryan Seacrest looking quite handsome in his very own line, Ryan Seacrest Distinction.

Lorraine Schwartz and Ofira jewelry

Nicole Kidman

I will admit, this multicolored Gucci dress that Nicole is rockin’ definitely gives off a bit of a cartoonish vibe. But there is something about the look that is so captivating! She paired with her look, Fred Leighton jewelry.

Kate Winslet

Kate is superb and top-notch in this custom Giorgio Armani forest-green gown with black detailing on the notched neckline. And adding the extra sparkle & shine to her look, Neil Lane drop jewels.

Annie Parisse

Not sure of any of the details for Annie’s look, but she looks magnificent in this printed fitted gown.

Claire Danes

Claire went in the right direction with this 2-toned, midnight-and-sky Stella McCartney gown with Tiffany & Co. jewels.

Christian Bale

Christian is lookin’ mighty fine in all black, a Dolce & Gabbana suit.
