Taraji P. Henson: Best Dressed at the 2009 Academy Awards / Oscars

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button co-star Taraji P. Henson proves that this year is absolutely all about the statement jewelry. She wore this stunning necklace with a simple neutral, layered, chiffon gown and totally glammed up the whole look. Gorgeous!

 

Vanessa Hudgens: Best Dressed at the 2009 Academy Awards / Oscars

 

Vanessa Hudgens' stunning black gown was originally a short dress that the designer elongated per the actress' request. Absolutely stunning! They always say a black dress is appropriate in every occasion, and this is no exception. The bottom of the dress makes this an appropriate red carpet gown a complete success.

 

Mary Hart: Worst Dressed at the 2009 Academy Awards / Oscars

 

Mary Hart's green floral dress failed. This gown is reminiscent of the secret garden. The cut, the colors, everything is wrong wrong wrong. Only those with a green thumb would like this, not for the red carpet.
