My Taupe 5 Best Dressed from the 2015 Oscars!

Last night's Oscars was the first award show that I have seen in a long time that almost everyone there could make the best dressed list! It featured hues of red, mesh inserts, and TONS of neutrals (I was in heaven).That being said, it was extremely hard to only pick a taupe 5 so I added 2 under the category of "Honorable Mention" because I felt my list would be incomplete without them!So without further ado here is my list of leading ladies:

Honorable Mention: 

Rosamund Pike (wearing Givenchy) and Emma Stone (wearing Elie Saab)

#5: Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon NEVER disappoints with her timeless and flattering ensembles. Last night was no exception, as she exuded confidence in this Tom Ford gown. She also brought much attention to the #askhermore campaign which promotes more in depth interview questions for women than simply covering what/who they are wearing(it doesn't preach getting rid of these fashion questions, but rather asking other questions, along with the fashion questions, pertaining to these ladies work as well). I believe this is a wonderful concept as these women have worked hard to establish themselves in the industry and have become very accomplished.

#4: Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyeneth Paltrow stunned in this Ralph & Russo Couture gown featuring a shoulder rosette. The pastel color complimented her hair and skin tone perfectly, while the actual fit of the dress drew attention to the smallest part of her waist. It was a very understated color choice but if you were watching last night, you couldn't miss her!

#3: Jennifer Lopez

If I ever had to blindly guess which celebrity would steal the show, I'd put my money on Jennifer Lopez. She consistently dazzles and seems to only get more beautiful with age. Last night she proved all of the above to be true when she stepped out in this Elie Saab silhouette. The beading on this dress was exquisite and the color only enhanced her flawless skin. Paired with the perfect shade of pink lipstick JLo was the ultimate knockout!

#2: Jennifer Aniston

Known for loving neutral shades and wearing them like they were made for her, it's no wonder Jennifer Aniston is #2 on my taupe 5 list. She was drop-dead-gorgeous in this beaded Versace gown last night that accentuated her sculpted body. It's sheer bottom added a touch of glamour that was unmatched on the carpet. Much like JLo, Jennifer only gets more beautiful with age and therefore it's no shocker that she constantly places on Best Dressed lists. (On a serious note, how do I get this dress in my closet?!)

And the best dressed of the 2015 Oscars goes to...

#1: Lupita Nyong'o

This was a given, and I question the credibility of any article that doesn't have her listed! Lupita Nyong'o took every girl's dream and made it come true last night by stepping out in a Calvin Klein dress made of 6000 pearls (Fun Fact: Websites are speculating the minimum cost per pearl was $25, making the total cost at least $150,000...and that's without designer fees and other materials). Lupita is known for only wearing the most fashionable and elegant ensembles, but last night's dress stole the show, and possibly all award shows this season.
