Oscars fashion standouts

The annual Academy Awards night is one of the most prestigious and glamorous events celebrated by Hollywood. Part of this glittering occasion is the eye-candy parade of fashion on the red carpet. In this star-studded night, all eyes are on who’s wearing who. Actors grace the scene with elegance, wearing the latest designer creations and the most dazzling pieces of jewelry.

At the Oscars, the style meter is high as the battle of glam begins as soon as one makes one’s step towards the spotlight. Fashion insiders and tastemakers, armed with the discerning eye, view the celebrities in their most stellar fashion statements. As hundreds strike a pose, flash their pearly white smiles and walk down in style, only a few make the cut in one of the most celebrated lists — the best dressed. In an industry where looks are of great importance, to be named part of the exclusive list is something of great pride. The fashioning of celebrities (who also wear confidence, grace and elegance) is an homage to the art of dressing.

For the 87th Annual Academy Awards, Multiple Choice handpicks seven standout women among the countless stars of the night.

The simplicity of beauty of Reese Witherspoon, in a figure-flattering off-shoulder black and white gown, is the embodiment of classic elegance. Neutral tones curved to skin-tight perfection present both simplicity and sophistication. 

The high-wattage style of Emma Stone in a shimmering long-sleeved gown with a high slit evokes the look of ultra glam attraction.  Less skin is more as it defines a new perspective of sexiness.

Fashion-forward Marion Cotillard braves the stereotype with a refreshing white creation that displays the modernity of silhouette and fabrication, a trendsetting insight of the shape of things to come.

The alluring innocence of femininity of Dakota Johnson in a striking crimson one-shouldered gown is a captivating style declaration of the “nowness” of sexy.

The royal heir of confidence is Gwyneth Paltrow -— her charismatic chicness of blush displays the true essence of fashion. Gwyneth wears the clothes and not the other way around.

The glowing natural beauty of pregnant Keira Knightley in an embroidered tulle creation is a delightful tribute to modern romanticism. The free-spirited ethereal look of femininity is style-fitting for the actress embracing the full glory of motherhood.

Lastly, the industry’s iconic Meryl Streep is a vision of grace as she channels a standout black and white tuxedo. Reminiscent of creations by the legendary Yves Saint Laurent, Meryl exemplifies the relevance of the proper code of dressing.

Their outstanding presence and natural flair crown their own mark of distinction.  They are the epitome of glamour. They are a testament to celebrity fashion.
