Hollywood's finest leading ladies led the way in pale and interesting dresses at Tinseltown's biggest night of the year, the Academy Awards, on Sunday.
Jennifer Lawrence, who took home the Best Actress award for Silver Linings Playbook, also triumphed in the style stakes in her strapless Dior Haute Couture gown.
The 22-year-old star highlighted her slim waist in the pretty gown, the train of which caused her to trip as she made her way up to collect her Academy Award.

Charlize Theron also wore a white Dior dress, but went for a more severe look with structured tailoring, also showing some cleavage thanks to the bodice's low cut.

Anne Hathaway, who was crowned Best Supporting Actress for her role as Fantine in Les Miserables, channelled Audrey Hepburn in her baby pink Prada dress, which featured a backless bow detail.
