Zoe Saldana

It\'s the biggest night for the movie industry, but forget all that, we\'re in it for the red carpet dresses! The 82nd Academy Awards in Los Angeles hit the red carpet running with all our favourite ladies rolling up to bust out their most fabulous looks of the year.

But of course where there are fashion hits, fashion disasters are never far behind. We\'ve given all the red carpet arrivals the once over and rated them out of 10. Will you agree? Click on to find out and vote...

 

Avatar star Zoe Saldana looks beyond amazing in Givenchy Couture. This dress has it all: striking colour, a sexy silhouette and a tasteful flash of sparkle. This early arrival is going to take some beating.

Diane Kruger

Inglourious Basterds star Diane Kruger does it again in stunning Chanel Couture. As Diane put it, \"It\'s Chanel, what\'s not to love?\" Couldn\'t agree more.

9/10

Anna Kendrick

best dressed,celebrity fashion,red carpet,Academy Awards,awards,Oscars 2010,Anna Kendrick Anna Kendrick

Best supporting actress nominee Anna Kendrick confessed on the red carpet that she hated the dress she had lined up when it arrived on Friday and had a last minute freak out. Well, we can\'t see what she threw away but we\'re not going mad for this Elie Saab number either. OK it\'s pretty, but she looks a bit like a pair of Barbara Cartland\'s curtains. Extra minus points for those ankle straps and the chintzy bag.

5/10

Carey Mulligan

best dressed,celebrity fashion,red carpet,Academy Awards,awards,Carey Mulligan,Oscars 2010 Carey Mulligan

One awards season in and it\'s already safe to say we can rely on An Education actress Carey Mulligan to up the fashion stakes. Never one to play it safe, Carey has pulled out all the stops (and the cutlery drawer) in this cute Prada gown adorned with teeny knives, forks, keys and scissors.

8/10

Amanda Seyfried

best dressed,Amanda Seyfried,celebrity fashion,red carpet,Academy Awards,awards,Oscars 2010 Amanda Seyfried

Chloe star Amanda Seyfried looks like a frothy fantasy in Armani Privé. To be honest, the colour is washing her out a little and the cut is a little stiff for someone her age, but overall a pretty good shot.

Vera Farmiga

best dressed,celebrity fashion,red carpet,Academy Awards,awards,Oscars 2010,Vera Farmiga Vera Farmiga

Nominated for Actress in a Supporting Role for her part in Up In The Air, Vera has gone for vibrant colour and huge ruffles. We predict this Marchesa dress will divide critics but we think the risk has paid off and she looks stunning.

Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah Jessica Parker looks like a delicious lemon sorbet in Chanel Couture. She said Karl Lagerfeld made is especially for her, but we\'re pretty sure we spied it on the Paris runway back in January. No matter, she still looks 100% fabulous.

Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie,best dressed,celebrity fashion,red carpet,Academy Awards,awards,Oscars 2010 Nicole Richie

OK, the Reem Acra dress we love. It\'s a bold choice, but fashion maverick Nicole Richie can carry it off. But what the Dickens was she thinking with that eye make-up? Is she sharing a make-up artist with Jordan? Nicole, step away from the eye shadow palette.

Maggie Gyllenhaal

Maggie Gyllenhaal,best dressed,celebrity fashion,red carpet,Academy Awards,awards,Oscars 2010 Maggie Gyllenhaal

We\'re a little disappointed by Maggie\'s ensemble. Never normally one to put a foot wrong on the red carpet, this Dries Van Noten gown looks a little \'cruise ship\' and the creases on the front aren\'t helping the cause.

Mariah Carey

mariah Carey,best dressed,celebrity fashion,red carpet,Academy Awards,awards,Oscars 2010 Mariah Carey

Oh Mariah, so near and yet... From a distance the colour is demure and the puppies are under wraps, but then zoom in and a world of pain awaits. The bustier looks awkward, the fabric looks suspiciously flammable and the thigh flash lets her down. Let\'s not even get into the ill-matching shoes now, we\'ve got to get on.

Zoe Kravitz

best dressed,celebrity fashion,zoe kravitz,red carpet,Academy Awards,awards,Oscars 2010 Zoë Kravitz

We love Zoë Kravitz\'s style and this look has done nothing to dent her fashion credentials. It\'s chic and simple and age appropriate. Go Zoë!

Sandra Bullock

Sandra Bullock,best dressed,celebrity fashion,red carpet,Academy Awards,awards,Oscars 2010 Sandra Bullock

Sandra Bullock looks every inch the winner-in-waiting in this embroidered Marchesa gown. The molten gold fabric actually makes her look like an Oscar for goodness\' sake!

Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron,best dressed,celebrity fashion,red carpet,Academy Awards,awards,Oscars 2010 Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron looks Hollywood hot in this stunning Christian Dior Couture by John Galliano gown. Her model statistics mean she can carry off the more adventurous gowns and this blush pink satin number is a total stunner.

Mo\'Nique

best dressed,celebrity fashion,red carpet,Academy Awards,awards,Oscars 2010 Mo\'Nique

Oh Mo no. The cheapo fabric and garish colour are enough to bear, but the stray nipple seals the deal. I guess we should all just give thanks that the hairy legs are under wraps.

Penelope Cruz

Penelope Cruz,best dressed,celebrity fashion,red carpet,Academy Awards,awards,Oscars 2010 Penelope Cruz

Penelope Cruz doesn\'t do herself justice in this swamping gown by Donna Karan. The colour is a hit, but it\'s an over all let-down.

Rachel McAdams

Rachel McAdams,best dressed,celebrity fashion,red carpet,Academy Awards,awards,Oscars 2010 Rachel McAdams

Rachel McAdams has snuck up on the outside to become one of our favourite rising fashion stars. This whole look rocks and she carries it off in spades.

Meryl Streep

Meryl Streep,best dressed,celebrity fashion,red carpet,Academy Awards,awards,Oscars 2010 Meryl Streep

Julie & Julia nominee Meryl Streep looks every inch the Oscars pro teaming this classy, pared-down dress with her trademark bare-faced glow.

7/10

Kristen Stewart

best dressed,celebrity fashion,red carpet,Academy Awards,awards,kristen stewart,Oscars 2010 Kristen Stewart

Kristen Stewart knows she\'s got it right in this outfit because she\'s managed a genuine smile. Phew!

Kate Winslet

Kate Winslet,best dressed,celebrity fashion,red carpet,Academy Awards,awards,Oscars 2010 Kate Winslet

This Yves Saint Laurent boned Champagne corset and satin skirt is ageing Kate Winslet in a way we thought she\'d left behind. After that sexy Stella McCartney number she pulled out for the Baftas we had high hopes.

Cameron Diaz

Cameron Diaz,best dressed,celebrity fashion,red carpet,Academy Awards,awards,Oscars 2010 Cameron Diaz

Cameron Diaz looks like Tinseltown personified in this glittering gown by Oscar de la Renta. Marks off for the ageing make-up. There\'s no excuse when she\'s such a natural beauty.

Gabourey Sidibe

best dressed,celebrity fashion,red carpet,Academy Awards,awards,Oscars 2010,Gabourey Sidibe Gabourey Sidibe

Gabourey Sidibe works it in this pretty blue Grecian gown by Marchesa. The appliqué draws the eye to her best assets and her old Hollywood hair gives give some Oscar polish.

Demi Moore

best dressed,celebrity fashion,demi moore,red carpet,Academy Awards,awards,Oscars 2010 Demi Moore

Demi\'s Versace Atelier dress takes it one ruffle too far. Plus the colour is washing her out, she often opts for white on the red carpet for stand-out effect and we think she should have gone with the colour that suits her best.

Miley Cyrus

best dressed,celebrity fashion,red carpet,Academy Awards,awards,Miley Cyrus,Oscars 2010 Miley Cyrus

During the ceremony she presented an award for Music (Original Song) in a film, for the red carpet she chose a Champagne coloured Jenny Packham bodice dress with embellished tulle skirt. We think it\'s a good choice for this teen starlet, but we can\'t help wanting to scream, \"Stand up straight!\" - her posture is awful.

Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez,best dressed,celebrity fashion,red carpet,Academy Awards,awards,Oscars 2010 Jennifer Lopez

Where do we start. JLo looks as though she\'s been wrapped in holographic bubble wrap in this Armani Privé dress. The giant fold of material perched on her hip is also widening her most famous asset, big time.

Sigourney Weaver

best dressed,celebrity fashion,sigourney weaver,red carpet,Academy Awards,awards,Oscars 2010 Sigourney Weaver

Safe choices don\'t have to be boring. This classic asymmetric silhouette really suits her and the added bling on her shoulder makes this outfit pop.

Tina Fey

best dressed,celebrity fashion,tina fey,red carpet,Academy Awards,awards,Oscars 2010 Tina Fey

Tina Fey got slated for the frocky horror she wore to the Golden Globes but she has come out all guns blazing in this gorgeous sequin leopard spot full length, slashed to the thigh gown by Michael Kors. We likey.

\r\n\r\n

Molly Ringwald

best dressed,celebrity fashion,red carpet,Academy Awards,awards,Oscars 2010 Molly Ringwald

Although she\'s known for being Pretty In Pink (a film by the director John Hughes, who Molly was at the awards to honour), Molly looks looked hot in this asymmetric violet gown. The fastening around her waist and her bangle are matchy-matchy but it works.

\r\n\r\n

Kathryn Bigelow

best dressed,celebrity fashion,red carpet,Academy Awards,awards,Oscars 2010,Kathryn Bigelow Kathryn Bigelow

This slate grey dress with an embellished bust flatters the figure of The Hurt Locker Director perfectly. Despite how great she looks all eyes were not on her dress due to her positioning in front of ex-husband and Oscar nemesis James Cameron during the ceremony.
