Stars have always dazzled on the red carpet with sequin and beading detail but they upped the ante at the 2013 Oscars by making sparkling gowns one of the hottest trends of the night.

Jennifer Hudson, Stacy Keibler and Jessica Chastain all shined bright when they stepped out of their black town cars and onto the most anticipated carpet of the year.

Jessica Chastain on Why She Loves her Oscars Dress

Hudson showed up in a long sleeve, deep teal gown by Roberto Cavalli that she said, after three days of fittings, brought her stylist to tears.

Keibler stood out in a stunning, body-hugging Naeem Khan dress that showcased her flawless figure. The pewter gown featured a sheer back with a black waistband that accentuated the star's curves. Chastain, one of the first to arrive, wore a copper gown by Armani Prive, "It reminded me of old Hollywood glamour," she gushed.
