Angelina Jolie
Grade: A+
After Angelina Jolie flashed that leg on the red carpet, no one was even paying attention to what the “In the Land of Blood and Honey” director was actually wearing! The actress' black Atelier Versace gown featured a thigh-slit, which the daring Jolie worked every chance she got throughout the night. At the end of her stems? Salvatore Ferragamo peep-toe pumps.

Gwyneth Paltrow
Grade: D
There were lots of white gowns at the Oscars, but the most unusual one had to be Paltrow's Tom Ford ensemble. The dress itself was perfectly lovely, but the cape was bizarre. Thankfully, she shed it once she hit the stage to present Best Documentary Feature. Too bad her helmet hair was still there.

Emma Stone
Grade: A
Now that’s a statement dress. Stone hit the Oscars in a Giambattista Valli Couture gown that boasted a high neck with a giant bow. A simple bun and Louis Vuitton rounded out her stylish ensemble.

Viola Davis
Grade: A
“The Help” best actress nominee left her wig at home (as she’s been doing quite a bit lately) and showed off her newly dyed short red locks along with a gorgeous green Vera Wang gown, which featured a jewel-encrusted neckline. Davis' best accessory? Her super-toned arms!

Jennifer Lopez
Grade: A
The “American Idol” judge dared to bare … and it paid off. Lopez’s plunging Zuhair Murad gown not only caused a ruckus on the red carpet, but during the Oscar broadcast as well. When she was onstage presenting with Cameron Diaz, the Internet was buzzing about the fact that she had suffered a wardrobe malfunction … but it seems her double-sided tape did its job just fine.

Brad Pitt
Grade: A-
Though he did look pretty spiffy in his Tom Ford tuxedo, the Actor in a Leading Role nom admitted it’s “much easier” for men to get dressed for the Oscars than their female counterparts. It's probably easier for them to do their hair, too. What did you think of his slicked-back 'do?

Sandra Bullock
Grade: B
Sandra Bullock's white-and-black crepe Marchesa gown was OK at first glance, but looked much better from behind thanks to its beautifully draped back. The actress added some fun to the look with “I Dream of Jeannie”-esque ponytail.

Penelope Cruz
Grade: B
The Spanish siren looked Jacqueline Kennedy-esque as she floated down the red carpet in an organza Giorgio Armani off-the-shoulder gown.

Grade: B+
“The Iron Lady” must have had an inkling she was going to win the Best Actress award because she matched the color of her gold lame draped Lanvin gown to Oscar himself. During her acceptance speech, Streep (in vintage Fred Leighton earrings) thanked her colleagues and friends “for this inexplicably wonderful career.”

Sean “Diddy” Combs
Grade: A
Before he even hit the red carpet, the music mogul, who executive-produced the Best Documentary winner “Undefeated,” was spotted being primped by two assistants (one armed with a lint roller), outside his limo. All the extra effort was worth it: Diddy looked uber-dapper in his tux.
