From beading to crystals and a flurry of sequins, the stars were in full glitter mode at Sunday night’s Oscars, but Adele was one of the few celebrities to give us a double dose of shine.

On the red carpet, the “Skyfall” singer wore a beaded Jenny Packham gown, but she upped the sparkle factor even more when it came time for her performance, changing into a Burberry dress, silver Christian Louboutin ‘Bibi’ platform pumps and diamond earrings from Van Cleef and Arpels.

“My dress weighs 15 kilos [33 pounds]. It’s so heavy,” the nominee — who went on to win the Oscar for Best Original Song — told Kristen Chenoweth. “So when you take a breath to do a big note, it’s a bit difficult.”

Why did she choose such a weighty dress?

Daniel Day-Lewis stood out from the pack in a navy blue tux by Italian designer Domenico Vacca.

Eddie Redmayne added a little sartorial edge to his traditional Alexander McQueen tux with a pair of with velvet slippers.

Like his wife, Ben Affleck wore Gucci for the big night, though it was his beard that stole the spotlight.

Both Bradley Cooper and Hugh Jackman sported tuxedos by Tom Ford, Hollywood’s menswear designer du jour.

Oscars Style Memes: Anne Hathaway's 'high beams' are this year's Angelina Jolie's right leg

oscars-anne-hathaway

Step aside, @AngiesRightLeg! Anne Hathaway’s dress and Ben Affleck’s beard were this year’s hot Oscars style memes.

When the structured darts on Hathaway’s Prada gown created the illusion of a wardrobe malfunction, the social media platform went nuts. “Anne Hathaway’s stylist should be fired for not forcing her to wear pasties! HELLO NIPPLES!!!” gossip blogger Perez Hilton tweeted.

Then came the “Breast Supporting Actress” jokes and, inevitably, the @hathawaynipples Twitter handle. “We’d just like to point out that we won Best Supporting Actress without *any* support,” the mystery person behind the account — which quickly gathered over 4,000 followers — joked after Hathaway accepted her Oscar.

Jennifer Lawrence and Charlize Theron hit the red carpet in Dior Haute Couture at last night’s Academy Awards, which makes total sense when you consider that both women are on the payroll at the French fashion label — Lawrence is the new face of the brand’s Miss Dior line, while Theron has fronted the brand’s J’Adore fragrance since 2004.

Theron was a vision in a white silk bustier dress, an armful of Harry Winston bracelets, diamond stud earrings. And boy, did she work that short haircut.

Lawrence swept in wearing a pale pink and white silk bustier ball dress, which she accessorized with a jaw dropping Chopard “back necklace,” a Roger Vivier clutch, and Brian Atwood heels.

Oscars Fashion: What is the most worn designer label in the last 15 years?

Who are you wearing?”

It may sound like a silly question, but there’s more at stake than just making the best dressed list — or staying off the worst dressed list — at the Academy Awards. The kind of publicity generated by a picture of a high-profile actress in a designer gown is so precious that stories abound of fashion brands offering cash, endorsement deals and other incentives in exchange for a star’s loyalty on Oscar night.

But it’s not likely that we’ll ever hear Ryan Seacrest ask “Why are you wearing that?” so let’s turn our attention back to the who.

In the last 15 years of Oscars red carpets, one designer name has been the answer to the question “Who are you wearing?” more times than any other. Who is it? READ FULL STORY »

Oscar nominee Quvenzhane Wallis's signature accessory: The puppy purse

Pooch, she did it again!

Quvenzhané Wallis showed off another fabulous puppy purse at Monday’s Oscar Nominees Luncheon. As we noted last month, these haute dogs have been a red carpet staple for the Beasts of the Southern Wild starlet throughout awards season.

And Wallis doesn’t discriminate by breed. So far, she’s accessorized her outfits with Poochie & Co. plush purses made in the likeness of a poodle, a golden retriever and a bulldog, though the Boston terrier she carried on Monday be the pièce de résistance. That pooch is giving face, y’all.

Wallis is really stepping up her game as she enters into the home stretch, but what does one carry to the Academy Awards? Will she switch things up and take a frog, a giraffe or — perish the thought! — a cat instead?
