At the last—and biggest—show of this awards season, Hollywood's leading ladies brought the glitz and glamour to the red carpet when it counted most.

From Michelle Williams to Gwyneth Paltrow to Emma Stone and more, all of these actresses shined at the Oscars...

Coming out of nowhere was Milla Jovovich, who told our own Ryan Seacrest that it was her first Academy Awards and she wanted to do it up right. And right she did, looking drop-dead glamorous in a white beaded Elie Saab single-sleeve gown, curly 'do and deep-red lips.

Even though Michelle didn't take home the best actress award, she did definitely shut down the red carpet in one of the most fabulous colors of the night. Her coral Louis Vuitton peplum gown and pink clutch was elegant, interesting and true to her style.

Meanwhile, Jessica Chastain stood out in a black and gold brocade Alexander McQueen piece that capped off a very up-and-down awards season for this red carpet newbie. Way to end it on a high note, Jess!

Fashion darling Emma, however, rarely took a misstep all season long, so it's no surprise her ultra-chic Giambattista Valli gown with silver clutch and chic bun earns rave reviews.

Oscar's golden girl of the night was easily Stacy Keibler. The girl's had a dream run on the red carpet on the arm of boyfriend George Clooney. If this is her last time out there, she nailed it in a Marchesa single-strap rosette gown,

And last but not least, Gwynnie picked a very unusual Tom Ford gown complete with a superhero cape, but the actress and presenter managed to pull it off the piece looking elegant and kind of awesome.

So which of these gorgeous stars glammed it up best at the Oscars, or do you have another favorite? Tell us in the comments!
