For better or worse, the stars’ red carpet entrances are more important to many viewers of the Oscars than the awards themselves. The Academy Awards red carpet is the biggest platform for top designers to showcase their most finely crafted creations. By the end of this year’s ceremony, John Galliano and Marchesa were the most-often mentioned designers on the blogosphere. Heidi Klum’s red Galliano dress was highly praised, but much of the chatter was centered around the tie-in with the Heart Truth campaign . Anne Hathaway’s Marchesa dress seems to be the big winner style-wise, at the top of several early best-dressed lists.

So far there have been few mentions of major fashion faux pas, but the worst-dressed opinions are likely to emerge in the next 24 hours. We’ll keep tabs on this, as well as whether the best-dressed lists change over time.
