Hasta La Ideas

With New York fresh from fashion week festivities you may think all of the excitement in concentrated on the east coast, but last night’s Academy Awards are all the proof we need that Hollywood can hold its own in this ever-changing arena. With eight wins for “Slumdog Millionaire” including Best Picture and a long-awaited Oscar for Kate Winslet for her performance in “The Reader,” the red carpet wasn’t the only impressive part of the night, but is indeed worth another look. Marion Cotillard was stunning in Dior (she’s also the face of the brand), and Penelope Cruz looked absolutely divine in vintage Pierre Balmain. Angelina Jolie’s Elie Saab gown, though understated, was a refreshing change from the draped silhouettes she’s been showing off as of late, and Natalie Portman shined in bubblegum pink Rodarte. To see more of our favorite red carpet looks, just click the slideshow.
