The red carpet style at the 2014 Oscars was truly impeccable, especially following the buzz of the oscar nominations 2014 best dress debates. I am still blown away by how amazing these stars looked! Narrowing down the list to only seven was difficult because everyone went all out, but these women truly stood out. Check out my picks for the best dressed celebs at the 2014 Oscars!

| Celeb | Designer | Notable Detail | | --- | --- | --- | | Lupita Nyong'o | Prada | Nairobi Blue Gown | | Jennifer Lawrence | Dior | $2 Million Necklace | | Charlize Theron | Dior | Stunning Cropped Hair |

1. Lupita Nyong'o

Lupita Nyong'o Lupita looked like a Disney princess at the awards! She wore a Nairobi blue Prada gown, looking flawless. There was some slight debate amongst fashion critics over her headband, but personally, I love it! It completes the whole look. There's no way the '12 Years A Slave' star (and winner of the Best Supporting Actress Oscar) wouldn't make the list of best dressed celebs at the 2014 Oscars. (Wait until you see Jennifer Lawrence at #2!)

2. Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence J.Law is indeed the girl on fire! She wore an orange Christian Dior Couture gown that hugged her body in all the right places. I love how sleek this look is. The up-do and jewelry are beautiful. Oh and in case you were wondering, that necklace she has on is worth $2 million! She always looks amazing on the red carpet and this look is reminiscent of that gorgeous red Calvin Klein Collection gown she wore at the 2011 awards!

3. Kate Hudson

Kate Hudson Kate Hudson is no newbie at making jaws drop on the carpet. She wore a silver Atelier Versace gown and looked amazing! The plunging neckline is a risky look at these types of awards, but Kate pulled it off incredibly. I like that she kept her makeup looking fresh and natural. By keeping the accessories to a minimum, she let the dress do all the talking!

4. Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron It hurts to even look at Charlize, she is so stunning! She wore a beautiful black Dior gown and I'm still obsessed with her cropped hair. I like that she made her necklace the focal point of her jewelry. How gorgeous did she look when she presented an award with Chris Hemsworth? Swoon!

5. Naomi Watts

Naomi Watts I am always impressed with Naomi's red carpet looks! The actress wore a white Calvin Klein Collection gown (which is to die for) and paired it with some Bvlgari jewels. I love the simplicity of this look; the bold red lip is gorgeous! The only thing that could've made this look better is if she had her husband, Liev Schreiber, on her arm. (She almost rivals Lupita for my favorite of the night!)

6. Amy Adams

Amy Adams Amy Adams proves that sometimes, less is more. She wore a blue Gucci gown and looked flawless. The actress confessed to putting her hair up, in fear that the humidity would make her hair all frizzy! She was inspired by the classic "American Hustle" look and said this gown was perfect for her. I couldn't agree more!

7. Cate Blanchett

Cate Blanchett Cate Blanchett was a big winner that night! She nabbed the "Best Actress" Oscar for her role in 'Blue Jasmine' and looked amazing while doing it. The actress wore a nude shimmery Giorgio Armani gown and was definitely one of the night's best dressed. Also, how amazing was her speech? Cate championed women and praised the women who were nominated in her category. Such a classy lady!

### Why These 2014 Looks Still Matter: - They defined the "Nairobi Blue" trend. - They showcased a shift toward minimalist elegance. - Many of these gowns are now considered red carpet classics.

Well, there you have it! These were just seven out of many amazing looks from the 2014 Oscars. Awards season is always fun to watch! Who had your favorite look? Who would you vote "Best Dressed"?
