88th Academy Awards: 5 Best Dressed at Oscars 2016 [PHOTOS]

In true Oscars fashion, the 88th Academy Awards red carpet became a glamourous parade of celebrities who are dressed to the nines. Fans eagerly anticipated their favourite stars appear in the most fashionable event in Hollywood.

Black remained to be a favourite hue among some of the female movie personalities, but they took it to another level by incorporating bold textures and embellishments. Kate Winslet, nominated for the Best Actress award for her role in “Steve Jobs,” for example, opted for a plain strapless floor-sweeper, characterised by its extremely shiny fabric. “Scandal” star Kerry Washington, on the other hand, went for a Gladiator look with a black leather bustier and full white skirt.

Speaking of colour, green also displayed prominently among the film stars, including Cate Blanchett, Rachel McAdams, Sophie Turner and Saoirse Ronan. Others also decided to go easy on the eyes by choosing pastels, such as Heidi Klum and Andra Day.

The Oscars ladies were not also shy in showing off some skin. Strapless gowns, spaghetti-strapped dresses and plunging necklines proudly hit the red carpet, offering sexy chic while remaining classy throughout the evening.

Here are five of the best dressed female celebrities at the 88th Academy Awards.

Priyanka Chopra
Indian actress and former Miss World certainly turned heads at the Oscars red carpet with an exquisite, embellished white gown by Zuhair Murad. The “Quantico” star seemed to have pulled out all the stops with her strapless dress, as this is her first time to attend the prestigious event.

Olivia Wilde
White was also Olivia Wilde’s colour of choice at the Oscars. While fashionistas are torn if Wilde’s Valentino ensemble is a hit or miss, she managed to generate much attention to her pleated long gown because of its daring, deep-V neckline. She paired the gown with a neat and classy braid bun that accentuated her timeless beauty.

Charlize Theron
Plunging seemed to be a winning look for the night, and Charlize Theron was among those who confidently pulled off such. At this year’s Oscars, the “Mad Max: Fury Road” star sizzled at the red carpet in a simple, red Dior number that emanated elegance that she is known for. Theron complemented her flowing gown with smoky eyes and pulled-back hair-do.

Lady Gaga
In recent years, Lady Gaga shed off her quirky, out-of-this-world outfits and found her style groove. At the Oscars 2016, the songstress managed to win the guests and TV audience’s heart with her Oscar-nominated song "Til It Happens to You," as well as the fashion critics’ nod of approval. She hit the red carpet with a white strapless jumpsuit and over skirt designed by Brandon Maxwell that stood out among the long, girly dresses. Lady Gaga also imbibed Marilyn Monroe vibes with her blonde hair styled in a wavy bob.

Chrissy Teigen
Her baby bump seemed to be Chrissy Teigen’s best accessory at this year’s Oscars. The “Lip Sync Battle” commentator absolutely shined with her Marchesa dress with body-hugging silhouette and plunging neckline, accentuated with red floral embroidery and beaded accents.

Other Oscars winners in terms of their fashion taste for the 88th Academy awards include Jennifer Lawrence, Olivia Munn, Cate Blanchett, Rachel McAdams and Margot Robbie.
