And the award for best dressed actress goes to... FASHION: Zoe Chamberlain gives her verdict on the red carpet winners and losers at this morning's Oscars ceremony.


Byline: Zoe Chamberlain

The stars chose to look back to the good old days of golden Hollywood when they took to the red carpet at the 81st Oscar awards last night. There were plenty of classic cuts and dazzling diamonds as the celebs reflected a bygone era. That's not to say they all got it right. Here's our guide to this year's fashion winners and losers

NATALIE PORTMAN 8/10

Natalie Portman looked pretty in pink in a Rodarte dress and Stella McCartney shoes.

ANNE HATHAWAY 5/10

Despite claims she piled on EUR EUR

In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the Euro.

Notes:
The currency market, also known as the Foreign Exchange market, is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average volume of over US $1 trillion.
1million worth of Cartier diamonds with her strapless Armani dress, the Devil Wears Prada actress sadly looked more like a Sindy doll.

MARISA TOMEI 3/10

This beautiful Versace ballgown sadly did nothing for the My Cousin Vinny actress, who simply looked too skinny and washed out in pale violet.

KATE WINSLET 7/10

This year's big winner, who picked up Best Actress award, chose a stunning silver grey 40s-style, YSL YSL Yves Saint Laurent
YSL Yolk Syncytial Layer
YSL Youth Ski League
YSL Yugoslavian Sign Language (SIL code)
YSL St Leonard, New Brunswick, Canada - St Leonard Apt (Airport Code)
YSL Your Second Life
 dress making her look like a Hollywood siren and beautifully accentuating her curves, if slightly ageing her.

MILEY CYRUS 4/10

Who told Miley everyone was going in fancy dress this year? The actress looked like a mermaid.

FREIDA FREIDA Fellowship and Residency Electronic Interactive Database Access System  PINTO 8/10

The Slumdog Millionaire actress chose a Bollywood-style, sequinned blue Galliano dress which had an unusual and flattering cut and lots of detail.

JESSICA BIEL Biel (bēl) or Bienne (byĕn), city (1990 est. pop. 52,020), Bern canton, NW Switzerland, at the northeast end of the Lake of Biel. A watchmaking center, Biel also manufactures chains and machinery.  3/10

Whilst the Prada dress is pretty, Jessica looked like she left without having chance to brush her hair and polish her look.

JENNIFER ANISTON 9/10

The Friends star looked effortlessly stylish in her silver Valentino gown with Jimmy Choo sandals

SARAH Sarah or Sarai: see Sara.
Sarah

 JESSICA PARKER 2/10

She's the one we all look to in the stylestakes, so what went wrong SJP? She could have looked like a princess in her flouncy Dior ballgown had the colour not have washed out her complexion and her cleavage not been bulging out of the top.
