Rain almost threatened to rain on the parade of Hollywood’s biggest night on Sunday.
But luckily, many of Hollywood’s leading ladies looked unfazed by the drizzly weather in Los Angeles with Amy Adams looking chic in a navy blue strapless Gucci gown and Lupita Nyong’o in a baby blue plunging Prada fairytale number.
Despite a lack of nomination this year, Charlize Theron added to the eye-catching array of designer dresses, arriving in a dramatic black Dior gown.
Lupita, who has become a firm fashion favourite over award season, said she chose the gown as it reminded her of her native Kenya.
‘This is Prada and it was made for me,’ she told E!’s Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre. ‘It’s a blue that reminds me of the Nairobi sky.’
The 31-year-old actress is nominated for her role as Patsey in Steve McQueen movie 12 Years A Slave in her first major role after acting school.
‘I’ve just felt so blessed that my first job after school had got me so much recognition,’ she told Seacrest. ‘I didn’t grow up watching the Oscars but it’s something I came to understand what a big deal it was when I was in college.’
Angelina Jolie arrived with nominated Brad Pitt in a dazzling Elie Saab gown with the popular couple getting one of the biggest cheers of the night from the waiting fans, Daily Mail informs.
