Amy Adams Black Style Dress

Standouts who didn't blend into the red carpet included Amy Adams in a forest-green Proenza Schouler gown

On Oscar night, winners flashed gold statuettes but red ruled the carpet. Dresses were strapless, sweeping and safe — but some newcomers kept things lively. "Juno" screenwriter Diablo Cody wore a leopard-print halter, best-actress winner Marion Cotillard looked like a white mermaid in Jean Paul Gaultier and was Saoirse Ronan, the 13-year-old nominee for "Atonement," wearing her nightgown? It was past her bedtime.

Faye Dunaway dressed as Oscar. But she's Faye Dunaway; she can do as she pleases.

The fashion masses dressed to match the red carpet: Heidi Klum, in an apparent tribute to Queen Elizabeth and/or Dracula; Anne Hathaway, stunning in a draped, asymmetrical crimson gown; and Miley Cyrus looking all grown-up in a cherry-red gown. You know if Hannah Montana is doing it, all the cool kids are.

Standouts who didn't blend into the red carpet included Amy Adams in a forest-green Proenza Schouler gown and Veronica Lake-style finger curls; Cameron Diaz in a strapless peach-colored architectural number; and Keri Russell, who looked like a goddess in a floaty, ivory gown. Also strapless.

Amy's First "Big Splurge"

Now I get them from Target. They’re the best towels in the whole world. They are! Thomas O’Brien towels! - Amy Adams reveals her first 'big splurge.'"
