Hi, the red carpet before the Oscars gala is not only a huge society event but probably also the publicly most recognized fashion show of the year with the stars as the models for the top international designers, if you will.

Every dress is a jewel, also literally speaking, according to the High Cost of Oscar styling on Yahoo Shine every gown is worth something between 5.000 to 15.000 dollars, and that is only for the dress ;) Amazing, isn't it?

Here are my favorite dresses (in-page navigation):

• Natalie Portman
• Anne Hathaway
• Hailee Steinfeld
• Gwyneth Paltrow
• Tim Burton & Helena Bonham Carter
