You're Dixie's football pride Hollywood's glamourous side, Crimson Tide!

In shades from blood orange to scarlet, Hollywood's finest fashionistas embraced their inner Jessica Rabbit at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards.

Who worked the trend best?

Jennifer Hudson (in Versace), Anne Hathaway (in Valentino Couture) and Sandra Bullock (in Vera Wang) were all simply stunning in ballgowns, while Jennifer Lawrence (in Calvin Kelin Collection) and Penélope Cruz (in L'Wren Scott) both rocked simpler sheaths.

Regardless of the dress silhouette, all of these ladies looked red-hot!
