Not since Sharon Stone wore a Gap shirt (with a Vera Wang skirt) to the Oscars in the 1990s has a discount retailer been mentioned among red carpet couturiers like Valentino and McQueen and Armani. Until now.
Best Supporting Actress nominee Helen Hunt wore a navy blue strapless satin H&M gown on the red carpet of the 2013 Oscars. Say what?
Best Supporting Actress nominee Jackie Weaver was stunning -- at 65, no less -- in a custom mermaid silhouette red gown by Rani Zakhem at the 2013 Oscars.
Let's get one thing straight: Halle Berry is a stunner. That's indisputable. She's 46 yet she could pass for 36. She is easily one of the most beautiful women in the world ... but she channeled a Las Vegas lounge singer in a shimmery, striped, severe-shouldered Versace gown at the 2013 Oscars.
Jennifer Aniston, who's known to wear basic black at red carpet events, threw us for a loop at the 2013 Oscars by wearing a full, princess-like red gown by Valentino. It reminded us of another red dress worn by another Jennifer (Lawrence, at the Golden Globes).
Actress Zoe Saldana wore one of the edgier looks at the 2013 Oscars.
Best Actress nominee Naomi Watts glimmered in a silver Armani Prive dress with an asymmetrical top. It boasted one capped sleeve and looped across her body and was certainly the most unique cut on the 2013 Oscars red carpet.
Anne Hathaway, one of the breakout fashionistas of the last year, wore pretty, pale pink Prada to the 2013 Oscars. The straight, column shape spotlighted A. Hath's figure and even she showed off some sideboob.
Jennifer Hudson, a onetime Best Supporting Actress winner, donned a long-sleeved, midnight blue lace dress by Roberto Cavalli for the 2013 Oscars. It was certainly a shade not worn by other celebs on the red carpet, and it made her stand out.
Best Actress nominee Jennifer Lawrence, who revealed she was stressed and starving and didn't have a chance to eat because her entire family was getting dressed at her house, wore a white Dior Haute Couture dress to the 2013 Oscars.
The strapless gown pressed her boobies down a little, but she was still absolutely stunning.
Amanda Seyfried, who upped her fashion ante by wearing amazing gowns and dresses during the 2013 awards season as part of the busy 'Les Miserables' cast, wore a shimmering Alexander McQueen gown to the 2013 Oscars.
