Best Embroidery on the Academy Awards Red Carpet

Platinum and diamonds was the clear red carpet winner at the Academy Awards.  The best Oscar dresses where in shades of nude, crystal and white.  As always, Ms. Fabulous chooses the best use of beading and embroidery on the red carpet.

Jessica Biel looked stunning in Chanel.  The fitted dress was embroidered in sequins in of different shapes to reflect a pattern, then topped with shredded chiffon at the bust.  Angelina Jolie looked like a Goddess in her beaded Elie Saab.  She bravely showed off her post-surgery chest with barely there, gradated lines of crystal and metallic beads.

Oscar winner Cate Blanchett was a vision in an amazing Giorgio Armani.  The highly dimensional embroidery was a mix of organza petals, metallic pailettes, dripping beads and Swarovski crystal.  Kristen Bell's dramatic gown was by Roberto Cavalli.  The bodice was a highly textured layered applique lace accented with beads.

I know the Academy Awards are supposed to be a celebration of talent.  Can I help it when these ladies kill it with a fantastic Oscars red carpet show?
