A successful red-carpet fashion moment at the Academy Awards can become as memorable — or arguably, more memorable — than a win that night. We picked a group of seasoned and up-and-coming actresses and determined what we suspect they’ll be wearing — based on red carpet history, fashion week appearances, and physique.
Amy Adams
Dress She Should Wear: Marchesa’s intricately pleated, one-shouldered, dove-gray dress
Why: “She wore Marchesa to the Golden Globes and it worked beautifully. I’d like her to choose another gown from the designer. I like fashion monogamy!” says celebrity stylist Robert Verdi.
Anne Hathaway
Dress She Should Wear: Antonio Berardi’s stunning white column dress with beaded embellishments and a sweeping cape
Why: “She’s going to go high-end, probably Armani. But I’d like to see her in a designer that we don’t normally see on the red carpet, someone like Antonio Berardi, a designer who does really dramatic, fabulous dresses.”
Adele
Dress She Should Wear: Lela Rose’s playful but posh dress with full skirt.
Why: “She obviously wears what she likes. She embraces color and pattern. I like that she’s a little wacky. Lela Rose, who does ladylike so nicely, is perfect for her.”
Jessica Chastain
Dress She Should Wear: A flesh-toned Dior strapless gown with dropped waist and structured, full skirt.
Why: “She makes great choices with bold colors. But this time, I’d like to see her in something more washed-out, more ethereal-looking. A dramatic, pale Dior Haute Couture gown would be perfect.”
Jennifer Lawrence
Dress She Should Wear: A theatrical, form-fitting, beaded Versace dress with metallic shoulders
Why: “She has this pouty face that, to me, is very Versace. Plus, I don’t like actresses playing characters they’re used to playing or wearing designs they’re used to wearing, so definitely something vampy and slinky from Versace.”
Jennifer Garner
Dress She Should Wear: Alexander McQueen’s gorgeous sleeveless white gown with a high neck and wide, waist-cinching black belt.
Why: “She’s kind of hit-or-miss on the red carpet. It would be nice to see an exciting designer like Alexander McQueen take her away from her comfort zone.”
Helen Hunt
Dress She Should Wear: A bold, beaded, green long-sleeved dress by Monique Lhuillier
Why: “I can see her going with a classic shape, something form-fitting to show off her tight bod.”
Naomi Watts
Dress She Should Wear: A daring taupe and white Azzaro dress with beaded halter design
Why: “She doesn’t pick a dress just because it’s sexy or on trend. She actually enjoys fashion and probably won’t want the typical designer. She likes something more intellectual, like Azzaro.”
Sally Field
Dress She Should Wear: Andrew Gn’s elegant black dress with plunging neckline and gold embellishments.
Why: “Andrew Gn’s dresses are glamorous and stately and age-appropriate for her. She’s an icon and I think she should be in something grand.”
