Awards Season Red Carpet Recap: Pick The Most Fabulous Fashions!

Awards Season Red Carpet Recap: Pick The Most Fabulous Fashions!

1. Jennifer Lawrence

Unsurprisingly, the Dior spokeswoman wore the label to all her major awards shows, culminating with a voluminous gown at the Oscars (that she tripped and fell on). My favorite look on the "Silver Linings Playbook" star was the Calvin Klein gunmetal gown that she wore after the Oscars. It didn't hurt that she had the ultimate accessory -- her Best Actress statuette. Which was your winner?

2. Anne Hathaway

Anne won nearly every award she was nominated for this awards season (often claiming them with an annoying speech), but her fashion choices were far from winners. She chose the same slim silhouette for event after event, and made an unfortunate choice for the Oscars -- a pink Prada column gown. The dress' pronounced darting spawned twitter trends #nipplegate and #lesnipplerables. I would've loved to have seen Anne's planned Valentino gown. Our pick? The white Chanel Couture gown she wore to the Globes. Simple and sophisticated at the same time. Agree?

3. Jessica Chastain

The "Zero Dark Thirty" actress was a bright 10 in my book, looking fantastic at every event (minus her ill-fitting Golden Globes misstep). Jessica saved the best for last, dazzling in a Armani Prive gown at the Oscars. Normally, her fair coloring would be a concern, but it wasn't there. Do you think she looked wow ... or washed out?

4. Naomi Watts

Like Jessica, Naomi really didn't put a foot wrong all season. The Aussie actress opted for many different colors and styles, each successful. But her most daring choice was the gunmetal Giorgio Armani Prive that she wore to the Oscars. Naomi pulled off the "Impossible" -- the silhouette wasn't seen by anyone else on the red carpet all season long, and it fit her perfectly.

5. Sally Field

The veteran actress freed herself from her restrictive Mary Todd Lincoln costumes for some lovely looks this season. Sally proved you can be in your 60s and still look sexy. The "Lincoln" actress looked most stunning in her red Valentino Oscar dress. Which gets your vote?

6. Amy Adams

Amy is another nominee who had a standout style season. Like Jessica, her fair coloring could've limited her choices, but instead, she explored them. Of course, she can work a traditional princess gown like no other like she did at the Oscars, but I have to give the nod to her white and blue Vionnet ensemble, which looked both relaxed and regal.

7. Amanda Seyfried

Amanda didn't earn any individual acting noms this season, but she sure dressed like a leading lady.

While the "Les Miserables" star's two Oscar looks disappointed us, we appreciate that she was a red carpet risktaker. Still, her classic blue strapless SAG gown was my favorite look. Was it yours?

Anne Hathaway Oscar Dress 2013: See Her Red Carpet Look! (PHOTOS)

Who can forget Anne Hathaway's last sartorial turn at the Oscars? In 2011, the actress co-hosted the show with James Franco and managed to rock a whopping eight dresses, including a Givenchy princess gown, a Lanvin tux and an eye-catching Giorgio Armani Privé number. This year, rather than hosting, Anne's up for best supporting actress for her role in "Les Miserables."

Besides being a triple threat (singer, actress and dancer), the 30-year-old has proven herself to be quite the style star (wardrobe malfunctions notwithstading). Fortunately, Annie brought out the big guns for the 2013 Oscars red carpet and looked absolutely amazing.

Jessica Chastain, Lucy Liu Among the Top 10 Riskiest Looks of the 2013 Golden Globe Awards

via eonline.com

Truth. It wouldn't be a proper red carpet if the stars weren't ready and willing to risk it all in the hopes of solidifying their moment in the spotlight.

From the fit of the bodice to the length of the hemline, to the provocative pattern or unsightly silhouette, there's plenty of room for innocent error when it comes to awards season dressing.

And what better carpet to take a risk (for better or worse) than at the Golden Globe Awards?

Stars went out on a limb by showing too much skin, not enough skin and playing with wild prints and colors.

Halle Berry left little to the imagination in a sky-high slit and midriff-baring Atelier Versace gown while Emily Mortimer kept it all covered in a slinky sequined dress wtih a high neckline.

Others, like Modern Family's Ariel Winter risked it all by dressing much more casually than the rest. But it was Jennifer Lopez that really went for it when she showed up in a revealing Zuhair Murad gown that gave the illusion of bare skin.

So what do you think of these confident risk-takers? Were they red carpet hits or misses?
