The Oscars are the pinnacle of all award season fashion and consistently bring us the crème de la crème of red-carpet gowns. From Gwyneth Paltrow's pink, princess-perfect Ralph Lauren gown to Reese Witherspoon's elegant vintage Christian Dior, we're counting down the 10 best Oscar dresses of all time.
On this year's Oscar red carpet, Fab spotted two color trends amongst the ladies: subtle sparkle and red-hot sirens. Here are a few ways to make your next gym visit red hot and sparkly: Nike fleece striped hoodie ($40), Puma fitness bag ($45), Adidas shiny capri pants ($30), Nike training tank ($20), Kate Spade gold tote ($365), Diesel sneakers ($64), Sigg bottle ($25), Madewell shimmer dust tee ($58).
One of the biggest trends of the Oscars' red carpet was the lovely march of ethereal sparkle via nude or blush gowns. Halle Berry shone in Marchesa, Mandy Moore glowed in Monique Lhuillier, and a bevy of stars proved that a little sparkle is a big way to shine. It's a refreshingly easy trend to work into your wardrobe: try a sparkly J.Crew skirt ($350) with a nude tank, or just do a little glitter for work with a cream cardigan ($29). Click items to buy.

Last night's Oscars had some gorgeous accessories moments, and we're jonesing to get our hands on the stars' sparkling red-carpet earrings. Busy Philipps wore Irene Neuwirth earrings, and we found a smaller, less expensive (but still an investment) version. Reese Witherspoon wore Neil Lane emeralds, and we found these for under $100. Tassel earrings are a must thanks to Natalie Portman rocking a pair from Tiffany's; for Spring we like this version in turquoise. Finally, Gwyneth's Louis Vuitton multicolor seahorse earrings were so fun, we need a pair for ourselves, in the form of these peacocks ($48). Click to shop!
Last night was Hollywood's biggest party night of the year, the main event being the Academy Awards. However, there was plenty of celebrating happening outside the show. The Elton John bash, officially known as the 19th annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Award Viewing Party, was one of the most stylish parties of the evening. Heidi Klum showed some seriously excellent legs in a thigh-high gown, and there was a white party between Claire Danes, Paz Vega, and Nicole Richie. Serena Williams and Kim Kardashian showed up in chic black, and there was the stuff of rock star legend with appearances from Prince and Steven Tyler. The Weinstein brothers, whose film The King's Speech took home best picture, also threw a bash that saw Jennifer Lopez in Marchesa. Click through our slideshow to see the stars' style!

For a minute, I felt like I was having Oscars deja vu when Amy Adams appeared on the red carpet Sunday night. I experienced a flash back to Isla Fisher and the emerald satin Monique Lhuillier gown she wore to the Oscars last year. The deep green color, bustier bodice, and fit-and-flare shape are all very similar — especially noticeable since both red heads wore loose waves. Do you see the resemblance too, or am I just Oscar crazy?
Thanks for reminding me about this, zeze! Check out all my Oscar coverage here.
I haven't really thought of anything or talked to anyone about anything but the Oscars in the past 24 hours. Some may think this is unhealthy, I think it's completely normal. You've seen the ladies and their gowns, you've voted on your faves, and Oscar Monday has come to a close. And so, I present to you my favorites from the star-studded red carpet. This time, there was no one stand-out dress. Three ladies were Fab top to bottom, beginning with your best-dressed Heidi Klum . . .
So she wasn't up for an award. Heidi wins your best-dressed vote and mine — so that should make Heidi even more happy. Heidi confessed she worked with John Galliano on the custom Dior — that is up for auction benefiting women's heart health. I wonder whose idea it was to go over-the-top regal red. No matter, it was a great collaboration. From the high collar to the grandiose train, this dramatic gown saved the runway from a boring demise.
Her pink diamond earrings, fuchsia clutch, and candy-colored jewels brought the look to a flirtatious place. Who said you can't mix pink and red? Not Heidi.

Admittedly, I was not super impressed by this year's Oscars red carpet (tear). One of the more exciting trends was the crimson wave, but after three red dresses I started to tune out. Then, I began looking for nuances, i.e. jewelry and accessories. Did anyone else notice all the cool clutches that accompanied the dresses? In case you didn't, here's a peek at what our Fab Hollywood ladies carried their lipstick, blotters and Blackberries in. To the left is Katherine Heigl's gold architectural Jimmy Choo clutch and diamond accompaniments.
