Hollywood's biggest night always promises killer fashion, and the 2019 Academy Awards delivered! From a sea of pretty pink gowns (seriously, there was so much pink!) and plenty of silver sparkle, Wonderwall.com is rounding up the best and worst dressed stars on this year's Oscars red carpet starting with the one and only Lady Gaga! The superstar channeled Old Hollywood in a glamorous black look by Alexander McQueen. Despite opting for a classic color, Gaga's gown was anything but boring thanks to its dramatic silhouette. But she truly upped the glam factor when it came to accessories, adding leather opera-length gloves and a showstopper of a necklace. Get a better view of her jewels and check out the rest of Oscar's best and worst dressed stars next…

On Oscar night, you can't just wear any necklace! That's why Lady Gaga selected the famous Tiffany Yellow Diamond to wear around her neck — the rock previously worn by one of the most famous ladies in film history, Audrey Hepburn. The Tiffany diamond weighs over 128 carats, and the necklace features another 100 carats of white diamonds. Gaga also sported matching yellow and white diamond earrings by Tiffany and completed her look with a glamorous updo and a pink lip.

Though we appreciate that she took a fashion risk, we just can't get behind best actress winner Olivia Colman's bizarre Prada frock. She inexplicably topped the emerald gown — which would have been fine on its own — with a starry shawl she wrapped around herself, making this one a miss.

Amy Adams pulled out her best look for the last stop of award season! The nominee donned this custom-made Atelier Versace gown that featured a beaded Art Deco motif and a sweetheart neckline. Rivaling the gown's beauty? That jaw-dropping necklace she paired with it!
When it came time to accessorize her gorgeous Versace gown, Amy Adams selected this stunning Cartier High Jewelry tennis necklace comprised of platinum and diamonds. For her beauty look, she opted for glam loose waves and a nude lip, keeping all the attention on her stellar ensemble and jewels.
Gemma Chan's gown wasn't the first pink dress on the Oscars red carpet, and it certainly wouldn't be the last! The star's Valentino statement gown was polarizing, but we fell in the "love it!" camp. From the ruffled high neck to the exaggerated silhouette to the pockets, we adored this delightful hot pink confection. Next up, check out her jewels and beauty look…
Gemma Chan accessorized her neon Valentino couture creation with equally eye-catching Bulgari jewels. Just look at those exquisite diamonds with subtle emerald accents! She completed her look with gorgeous winged eyeliner and a perfect pink lip.
Not every pink dress was a hit. Case in point: Angela Bassett's. Though the stunning star's Reem Acra gown was balanced, with one side featuring a dramatically oversized sleeve and the other a slit and train, the shiny hot pink fabric lost us. But her whole look wasn't a total loss. Check out her jewels next!
Angela Bassett added more pink to her ensemble with her bling, but we loved this shade: Take a look at those pale pink stunners on her ears!
From hot pink to pale pink! KiKi Layne looked like a fairy princess in this pale pink custom silk cady column gown by Atelier Versace featuring an exaggerated, asymmetrical 3D detail at the shoulder.
Another disappointing pink moment? Sarah Paulson! Unfortunately, we weren't obsessed with this hot pink Brandon Maxwell gown with its oversized bodice and unnecessary cut-outs at the waist. One thing we did adore? Her Harry Winston jewels! Let's take a closer look…
Sarah Paulson redeemed herself in the jewelry department, adding a stunning necklace and simple diamond stud earrings from Harry Winston that brought a little bling to her hot pink ensemble.
A tulle turtleneck! Kacey Musgraves' Giambattista Valli gown was an actual work of art. The bubblegum pink confection started with a unique tulle turtleneck feature before giving way to ruffled tulle bordering the sleeves. From there, a fitted bodice featured a bedazzled bow at the waist before it all fanned out into a fluffy tiered tulle skirt. This frothy frock is so good, we've got to see it from multiple angles…
First up, we have to get a better view of the bodice of Kacey Musgraves' Giambattista Valli gown. From the unexpected tulle turtleneck detail to the structured tulle that perfectly framed her face to that dazzling studded-bow detail, this gown started out perfectly. Next up, a better look at the skirt and those incredible sleeves!
Kacey Musgraves' bubblegum pink confection featured sheer tulle sleeves ending in a delicate ruffle detail around her wrist. Between those unique sleeves and the whimsical tiered tulle skirt, this look was easily one of our favorites among the pink gowns of the night.
Maya Rudolph's pink came with a big side of floral. The star donned this gown in a Barbie-approved shade plus an all-over floral print. Though we liked how the cape detail tied around the neck, we wished that there could have been a break in that very busy fabric. And since we were on the fence about this gown, her choice of accessories certainly didn't help matters. See her bizarre earring selection next…
We certainly give Maya Rudolph props for having the funkiest earrings on the Oscars red carpet! Unfortunately, these multicolored dangling earrings would have been better served with a simple gown — not that busy pink frock.
Buttoned-up business in the front, party in the back! Charlize Theron was a showstopper in this periwinkle Dior dress, which looked fairly conservative with its high neck, long sleeves and covered-up front. But the back was an entirely different story…
From behind, Charlize Theron's gown was anything but buttoned-up. The Dior design featured an open back that showed a surprising amount of skin when compared to the front. Adding to this eye-catching look? Mounds and mounds of Bulgari jewels. Let's break them down next…
Let's start with those bracelets! Charlize Theron donned plenty of diamonds around her wrists — in the form of a wrap bracelet and a thick, chunky, bedazzled stunner. She also sported four statement rings including a fun pinkie ring. Next up, her stunning earrings…
It's almost as if Charlize Theron picked her gown to go with these exquisite earrings. The movie star rocked gorgeous diamond, emerald green and sapphire blue stunners, which complemented her pale blue gown perfectly. Now we've got to talk about her necklace…
Charlize Theron rocked even more diamonds around her neck in the form of this dazzling Serpenti Bulgari necklace. To complete with her diamond-accentuated ensemble, she added a coral red lip and otherwise minimal makeup to finish things off flawlessly.
Rachel Weisz's Givenchy gown certainly wasn't our "favourite" on the Oscars red carpet. The red frock featured an edgy latex top contrasted with a feminine embellished tulle skirt, but the unflattering look fell flat for us. One element of her ensemble we did like? That unexpected headband. Get a better look next…
Though we hated her Givenchy getup, Rachel Weisz's sweet, delicate headband addition won us over. We like the way she made that the focal point of her accessories — going sans earrings and necklace so the headband made a bigger statement.
Regina King had a striking white moment on the red carpe in this strapless Oscar de la Renta design. We loved the high slit and that dramatic train that followed behind her. Bonus points for adding matching white pumps to complete this strong look. Next up, let's check out her jewels…
When it came time to pick jewels to go with her exquisite Oscar de la Renta gown, Regina King selected these Chopard diamond stunners.
And the award for the most reflective gown on the red carpet goes to… Jennifer Lopez! The superstar donned this mirror mosaic gown by Tom Ford, transforming herself into the Oscars' own disco ball. Though we applaud the artful structure and those intricate embellishments, this certainly wasn't our favorite look on J.Lo. And though it wasn't as bad as her horrendous Grammys look, it wasn't enough to get her on the hit list. Next up, a look at her jewels…
Jennifer Lopez accessorized that shimmering Tom Ford gown with these unique earrings from Niwaka.
Glenn Close glimmered on the red carpet in this Carolina Herrera number. From the cape detail to that extra-dramatic train, not only was this gown gorgeous, it also gave her a workout while she posed for photos. This custom couture creation weighed a whopping 42 pounds!
Emma Stone stood out in this structured gown by Louis Vuitton. From the funky fanned sleeves to the exquisite detailing with sequin, pearl and bead embroidery, this was the perfect Academy Awards ensemble as the star looked as statuesque as an Oscar trophy. When it came to accessories, Emma opted for tiny, subtle details…
It wasn't just a Louis Vuitton gown for Emma Stone, but Louis Vuitton jewels too! She accessorized with tiny earrings from the fashion house.
We love an edgy menswear moment, but we just couldn't get behind Chadwick Boseman's odd ensemble. The star opted for a sequined blazer — which on its own would have been fine — but his getup included a sash-like tie detail that ran from his neck down to his knees. Besides that strange addition, he also had a train that followed behind him, all of which combined to make a messy fashion moment. Let's take a closer look…
Chadwick Boseman's funky Givenchy getup was certainly pretty up close — those sequins featured intricate patterns in silvers and grays. Unfortunately, all those other odd embellishments eclipsed this cool factor.
Constance Wu was a ray of sunshine on the Oscars red carpet in custom Atelier Versace. Not only was the gown's hue divine, but the delicate details on the off-the-shoulder number made this look one of our favorites. Let's take a closer look…
The detailing on Constance Wu's Versace gown was exquisite — just look at the delicate Swarovski crystal embroidery along the neckline. She added more sparkle via those Swarovski dangling earrings and completed her look with a pink lip and a sleek ponytail.
Lucy Boynton picked this off-the-shoulder frock for film's biggest night. We liked the unexpected purple-and-black color combination and the velvet bow details.
Laura Harrier has had a killer run this award season, nailing every look on every red carpet. Unfortunately, that came to an end at the Oscars. Though this pale blue crepe silk Louis Vuitton gown was pretty, it paled in comparison to the stunning dresses she wore to previous award shows. Fun fact: Though it was underwhelming, the gown supported the Red Carpet Green Dress campaign, which means it was made ethically and eco-responsibly. Let's check it out from a different angle…
Despite donning a light blue gown with silver embellishments, Laura Harrier opted to accessorize with a necklace comprised of hot pink and emerald green gemstones. Though we didn't love the necklace selection, her makeup was on-point. We loved her updo, her coral lip and that blue-gray eyeshadow.
Henry Golding looked insanely handsome in this custom Ralph Lauren Purple Label ensemble. He paired his black velvet tuxedo with all white — including a stark white bow tie — for maximum menswear drama.
Michelle Yeoh looked like a true queen in this regal Elie Saab gown. The off-the-shoulder confection featured just the right amount of sparkle down its fitted bodice and full skirt. And she truly clenched the look with her exquisite Chopard jewels. See them next!
First up, we need to talk about this bracelet. Michelle Yeoh's Chopard bracelet featured diamond-studded flowers that wrapped around her wrist. Next up, a look at her equally phenomenal earrings…
Michelle Yeoh was dripping in diamonds. Aside from that insane bracelet, she also wore these dazzling drop diamond earrings by Chopard.
Tessa Thompson rocked a black tiered confection on the Oscars red carpet. Though we liked the black-and-gold contrast, we weren't crazy about the tea-length silhouette and the exaggerated tiers at the hips.
One of our favorite looks of the night? Emilia Clarke's sparkly structured lavender Balmain gown. We adored the way it sparkled and shined under the light and how she completed the stellar look with equally beautiful jewels. Let's check those out next…
One of Emilia Clarke's stand-out accessories? This insanely intricate diamond bracelet from Niwaka. But there were plenty more diamonds where that came from… see her gorgeous ring next!
Emilia Clarke rocked this eye-catching ring, which was also by Niwaka.
The final touch? Those Niwaka sparklers on her earlobes. Emilia Clarke kept her short hair tucked back, helping us get a better look at these gorgeous earrings. She completed her look with rosy-hued makeup, including that perfect pink lip.
Disheveled bride vibes! SZA had an unfortunate red carpet moment at the Academy Awards, arriving in this disastrous strapless white frock. From the sheer overlay to that asymmetrical hemline and messy train, this look was one we'd like to forget.
Brie Larson enjoyed a sparkly silver Celine moment on the Academy Awards red carpet. We loved the change of pace with that halter-style neckline, fitted silhouette and thigh-high slit, and the way the star rocked her blonde waves loose and messy.
Linda Cardellini wowed us all award season long, but her Oscars look left us flabbergasted. Though it fell in line with the massive pink trend on the carpet, this hot pink Schiaparelli confection looked like a mess of dark pink tulle all held together by a massive pale pink bow.
Amandla Stenberg looked all grown up on the Oscars red carpet in this amazingly intricate design. We loved the muted color combination of silver and nude and the subtle tiered levels on the skirt of her Miu Miu gown.
Stephan James matched the red carpet on Hollywood's biggest night, looking impossibly cool in this three-piece velvet getup by Etro. We loved the bow tie and the way he added those sharp white shoes to take things up a notch.
Jennifer Hudson was a vision in red in this ruffled Elie Saab connection! We loved the unique one-shouldered cut and the oversized asymmetrical ruffles down this glam gown.
A+, Marina de Tavira! The actress arrived on the red carpet in style, rocking this stunning J. Mendel ballgown. From the fitted, strapless bodice to the full skirt flowing with delicate tulle, this was a major fashion moment for the "Roma" star. Next up, a better look at her equally gorgeous jewels…
Marina de Tavira skipped a necklace and instead accessorized with these Lorraine Schwartz stunners — exquisite ruby and diamond statement earrings.
Yalitza Aparicio looked every bit the movie star in this custom Rodarte gown. From the one-shouldered detail to the full skirt and delicate embellishments and mint green hue, we loved how it stood out amongst a sea of pink and red gowns.
Laura Dern deserved better than this Rodarte gown. The dull maroon frock was hardly worthy of Hollywood's biggest night. Fortunately, her jewels almost made up for the lackluster look…
Despite her dreary gown, Laura Dern rocked some serious sparkle around her neck! Check out that stunning Harry Winston necklace.
Melissa McCarthy rocked a Brandon Maxwell pantsuit complete with a cape — we liked this edgy change of pace on the star.
Is there a more glamorous place to announce your pregnancy? We don't think so! Krysten Ritter shared her big news in style in this long-sleeved burgundy lace gown by Reem Acra.
Chris Evans went with Ferragamo for the Oscars red carpet — a sleek custom tuxedo. We loved the unexpected blue jacket and the classic bow tie.
A silvery-pink sparkly suit? Sign us up! Awkwafina donned this fun getup by Dsquared2 for the big night and topped things off with a dramatic oversized bow around her neck. We loved the glam rocker vibes we were getting, and the way she completed the look with wavy hair parted in the center.
We worship at the altar of Marie Kondo, but this gown just doesn't spark joy! We were a little confused as to why Marie was at the Oscars, but more puzzled by this heavily embellished floral Jenny Packham gown.
Octavia Spencer opted for a midnight blue off-the-shoulder number for Hollywood's big night. We loved the princess-style cut of her Christian Siriano gown, its ruched sleeves and that very subtle sparkle.
Yikes! Maria Menounos's take on cheery yellow fell flat. From the odd sleeveless cut to the plunging neckline to the smattering of white down the full skirt, this dress was just a big mess.
Ashley Graham rocked a fascinating sleek black look on the Oscars red carpet — a strapless, fitted frock with an exaggerated waist and a mermaid silhouette that ended in frills.
Though we loved Laura Marano's dedication to bright hues on the red carpet, the fit on this gown was lackluster. Though we weren't crazy about the odd puckering in the bodice, the plunging neckline or that massively full skirt, the worst part was the back. See it next…
The front wasn't great, but the back of Laura Marano's gown ensured that this look landed firmly on the miss list. That obnoxious oversized bow dwarfed her entirely.
Giuliana Rancic kept things glam in this edgy black ballgown. We liked the interesting cut of the black lace bodice and that unique way it flowed from a halter to a contrasting full skirt.
