Oscars 2011: best actress dress predictions

By Stylist Team

15 years ago

This Sunday (27 February), all eyes will be on Hollywood as the nominees for Best Actress take to the red carpet for the 83rd Academy Awards. And, whilst we can't wait to find out which actress takes home the Oscar, we're just as excited to see what they wear.

In anticipation, we've taken a look back at their fashion form so far during awards season, and asked our fashion assistant, Morag Paterson, to tell us what she'd like to see them wearing come Oscar night.

Annette Bening

Annette looked particularly stunning in an asymmetric, white Marchesa gown at this year’s BAFTA Orange British Academy Film Awards.

Morag says: "Annette should opt for a floor-skimming dress with a demure neckline; something classic and not too fussy to offset her cropped hair."

Morag says: "I'd like to see Jennifer in something short, chic and waist-cinching – she should take tips from Diane Kruger and opt for Chanel or Erdem."
