Glamorous Dresses At The Oscars 2009

Shiny Happy People

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie who? Presenter Jennifer Aniston looks completely unfazed by the fact that her ex and his baby mama are two of the night's big nominees, focusing all her energies on looking fabulous instead, showing off her killer bod in this intricately beaded platinum Valentino gown alongside beau John Mayer.





Back in Black

Surprise, surprise -- Angelina Jolie's in all black. But we're not complaining. Her stunning emerald earrings and beautifully easy half-updo, along with the Elie Saab gown's demure slit, sheer overlay and sweetheart strapless neckline add up to effortless chic.




A Rare Vintage

Oscar winner Penelope Cruz takes a dazzling turn on the red carpet in a vintage Balmain strapless gown, with swaths of tulle cascading down the full skirt and dramatic train, finished with lace detail. Understated accessories and a simple updo make this look classic Hollywood glam.





Style in Bloom

Miley Cyrus manages to make all-over sequins and rhinestones look stunning and age-appropriate in a tiered, petal-skirted Zuhair Murad gown, with a crystal-studded waist-cinching belt. Finished with an easy updo, subdued makeup and only a pair of diamond earrings, she carries it all beautifully.




In Sequins

'Rachel Getting Married' star Anne Hathaway works the red carpet in a true piece of art. Her nude strapless Armani Prive gown is sparkling with all-over sequin and paillette embellishment, which shines with her understated hair, makeup and accessories.
