Best Dressed | 87th Academy Awards

While we can't stop going 'Gaga' (quite literally) over the beautiful tribute to Sound of Music by Lady Gaga, or the inspirational speech by Graham Moore that gave 'Stay Weird' a new meaning, let's also shift our focus to some lovely ladies on the red carpet. They turned heads, made the best sartorial choices and stunned everyone with their appearances. Here's presenting the Dancebee's favorite red carpet looks at the 87th Annual Academy Awards.

Emma Stone in Elie Saab 

This woman never fails to disappoint. Trust Emma Stone to win hearts with all her stylish choices. For the Oscars 2015, she opted for a customized long sleeve Elie Saab gown in a stunning golden green shade. And she sure rocked with minimal accessories, bright lips, and a pair of matching green heels.

Dakota Johnson in Saint Laurent

Now that's how you do a red, hot number! Dakota Johnson rocked this shade as she walked the red carpet in a sparkling, fire engine red gown by Saint Laurent. Don't miss the minimal make up, accessories and simple up do. Dakota sure believes in letting her killer gown do the talking. Metallic ankle strap heels finished her the look.

Jennifer Lopez in Elie Saab

If there is anyone who can do justice to outfits with a plunging neckline, and make the entire look appear chic and classic; it is none other than the immensely talented Jennifer Lopez. Every time she makes an appearance, I wonder how she looks like a million bucks (since I have grown up dancing to her songs). Jennifer glowed and how in this beautiful embellished Nude Elie Saab dress. With a matching clutch, nude lips, sleek hairdo and matching earrings, JLo looked every inch a diva.

Reese Witherspoon in Tom Ford

Its what you call a classy appearance, with just a dash of black and white, and minimal accessories. The gorgeous Reese Witherspoon wowed one and all in this chic number by Tom Ford. It fits her so perfectly, and her most coveted accessory - the smile - does wonders too. Double thumbs up for this look!

Lupita Nyong'o in Calvin Klein

What's beautiful, customized and made up of more than 6000 pearls? Ahem, this stunning Calvin Klein gown worn by actress Lupita Nyong'o. While her 2014 appearance in Prada is still fresh in our minds, we love how Lupita did not disappoint us this year too with this halter neck dress with a keyhole cutout in the front. Must say, the girl makes some real good sartorial choices.

Anna Kendrick in Thakoon

Amid a sea of metallic hues, whites, blacks and grays; it was refreshing to see Anna Kendrick in this coral gown, which looked absolutely amazing on her. Anna opted for very little accessories, except a big rock on her finger and a pair of studded earrings by Norman Silverman Jewelry. What stood out was of course, the jeweled collar of her gown, and we like the overall simple look.

Rita Ora in Marchesa

The fairy tale (or should we say, fishtail) gown that we are totally digging, Rita Ora made sure that her debut at the Oscars this year is a memorable one. And it sure was. Apart from her performance, what stood out was her beautiful fishtail gown by Marchesa. We absolutely love how that midnight blue shade blends so well with the hint of gold on her gown. She kept in simple on the make up front, allowing her short crop in fresh blond hair dye to do the talking. We like!

Keira Knightley in Valentino

One of our favourite female actors, in one of our most loved labels. The stunning mommy-to-be, Keira Knightley looked every inch a diva from the Shakespearean era, as she made heads turn in this floral number by Valentino. Well, its amazing how Keira rocks every possible creation by Valentino! This beautiful gown, with intricate designs of floral motifs and words in French, truly looked delightful on Keira. She kept it simple with less make up, and an adorable head accessory finished her look. The actress was glowing as she posed for the shutterbugs, and then some more with her husband James Righton.
