Oscars 2017: Priyanka Chopra, Emma Stone, Nicole Kidman – who shone the brightest on the red carpet?

It’s that time of the year when Hollywood’s biggest and brightest names come together to celebrate the best in the industry. The 89th Academy Awards was held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. We give you the lowdown on the best red carpet looks.

Emma Stone brought out the big guns for her big night. The ‘La La Land’ actress, who won this year’s Best Actress Award, made the most of her time under the spotlight. She looked lovely in a golden fringed Givenchy gown – one that she paired with berry lips.

India’s darling and the current sensation of the West, Priyanka Chopra graced the red carpet looking like a vision in white. The ‘Quantico’ star was seen sporting a Ralph & Russo column gown that accentuated her perfect 10 bod. What added to the magic of the ivory white creation was its structured and bold bodice, that was part sexy and part sassy. Priyanka completed the look with sleek hair, nude lips, drop earrings and chunky bracelet.

Oscar nominee Nicole Kidman kept it understated in this peach Armani Prive number. Of course, she added a dash of red lips to offset the soft number of her gown.

It may be a frequent sighting on the red carpet, but it never goes out of fashion. We’re talking about the quintessential black number. ‘Hidden Figures’ actress Kirsten Dunst showed us how to do black and still grab eyeballs in this voluminous black creation.

Charlize Theron dazzled in a golden Dior gown. While the colour did wonders for her, it was the plunging neckline that made a strong statement. This star was clearly chanelling the 80s!

Viola Davis who picked the Best Actress in a Supporting role Oscar for her performance in ‘Fences’ was a vision in red. She wore an Armani Privé off-the-shoulder gown.

Talking of Ryan Gosling, the ‘La La Land’ actor pulled off a ruffled white tuxedo shirt. Gosling kept it interesting and classic in his Gucci designer suit.

Naomie Harris, the Best Actress in a Supporting role nominee for her performance in ‘Moonlight’ was the first to hit the red carpet. She looked super glam in a Calvin Klein white number. Fashion critics are hailing Naomie’s look calling it the most fashion-forward of the night. She kept her footwear game strong in embellished mismatched yellow pumps.

Looks like Jessica Biel took a cue from the golden statue of the Academy Awards itself. The actress glittered in a golden ensemble as she walked down the red carpet, hand-in-hand with husband Justin Timberlake.

Multiple Oscar winner Meryl Streep arrived wearing an Elie Saab creation. She was a vision in a blue embellished gown and sent the shutterbugs in a click-happy zone.

The ’50 Shades of Grey’ actress Dakota Johnson looked super lean in Gucci’s high-necked, long-sleeved dress with a dramatic cascading bow accent at the waist.

‘Lion’ actor Dev Patel stood out in a crisp black and white look. The dapper looking actor attended Hollywood’s biggest night with his mother Anita Patel. Clad in a white Tuxedo, the 26-year-old star was looking every bit a charming gentleman.

Leading the lists of international tabloids’ worst dressed category at the 89th Academy Awards red carpet was actress Blanca Blanco with her dangerous thigh-high slit. The brunette opted for a yellow and gold embellished gown with an outrageous slit, that left little to imagination. Apparently, the 'Beverly Hills Christmas' actress, who went commando, didn't realize the fashion faux pas she caused and went ahead posing for the shutterbugs. Last something like this caused a stir in the fashion industry was when top model Gigi Hadid’s sister Bella Hadid walked the Cannes red carpet donning a risqué slit dress in 2016.
