OSCAR 2012: STARS SHINES ON THE RED CARPET

Hollywood’s hottest stars strutted down the red carpet on Sunday ahead of the Oscars ceremony in a stunning parade of bejeweled couture gowns, glittering diamonds and debonair tuxedos.


Viola Davis, who is hotly tipped to win a best actress Oscar for her portrayal of a housemaid in “The Help,” wowed the crowd in a strapless kelly green Vera Wang gown with a cleavage-revealing neckline and pleated detailing.
“She did right by me,” Davis said of Wang.


Her co-star Octavia Spencer, who won the best supporting actress prize, chose a glittering white and silver
 gown by Tadashi Shoji, who has dressed her for most of her red carpet appearances during awards season.

And Jessica Chastain, who played a ditzy housewife in “The Help” and was competing against Spencer, earned cheers for her strapless black Alexander McQueen gown with gold detailing at the bodice and hemline.





Jennifer Lopez

Silver was a color of choice — from the slinky one-shoulder Elie Saab dress worn by Milla Jovovich to the plunging V-neck Zuhair Murad number sported by Jennifer Lopez. Both were presenting on sunday.
