Sure, Kendrick’s Thakoon gown is sweet, but she’s worn far more jawdropping ensembles before.

Too. Cool.

YES. That lace petticoat effect on this Rita Vinieris dres is to die for.

The Boyhood star looked lovely, but I especially appreciated that she said she was too busy working on her charity to get a manicure before the Oscars.

Lorelei Linklater

I don’t care if her dresses are kinda off-beat — Linklater always slays on the carpet.

David Burtka & Neil Patrick Harris

The gray was definitely a risk for NPH, but that’s why we love him.

Margot Robbie

The dress is pretty, but it was Robbie’s new bob that had everyone abuzz.

This was the first ’90s-inspired slip dress to hit the carpet, and it was amazing.

Love, love, LOVE that dark lip on Teigen.

Zoe Saldana

That corset bodice, though.

This black Oscar de la Renta dress would have been perfectly pretty without the lacy skirt — which makes it amazing.

No words.

Baby blue is a bold choice for the red carpet, but Witherspoon pulls it off.

Ora’s dress had a neckline I can only describe as “shelf for pizza crumbs.” Kinda into it, though.

The gold is nice, but I’m a bit thrown off by Kidman’s bright red belt.

Jason Merritt/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images

Gwyneth Paltrow

OK, Gwyn. I see you.

J.Lo rocking just enough sparkle.
