Oscars 2013 Best Dressed

It's the biggest night in the film industry's calendar: the Oscars are finally here! If I didn't have a French class tomorrow morning I'd stay up all night and follow them live, but as it is I'm going to have to settle for red carpet coverage now and thoughts on the winners/embarrassing speeches/snubs in the morning. As I said in my post about the BAFTAs, awards season is my favourite time of the year and I'm expecting tonight to be incredible. Not only are the Oscars the awards everyone's been building up to, but with the fashion world in the throes of fashion weeks the sartorial stakes are exceedingly high. The red carpet is - quite frankly - going to be out of this world.

There's no denying that Jessica Chastain looks incredible in a strapless blush Armani Prive gown, but I'm tied for a favourite between Alicia Vikander in Elie Saab Haute Couture, Kerry Washington in Miu Miu and Naomi Watts in Armani Prive. And Salma Hayek literally smoulders in Alexander McQueen. I just can't choose! Do you have a favourite? If there was an Oscar for Best Dressed, who would get your vote?

Here we go... it begins!
