Re-enacting a scene from Oscar-nominated film Birdman, Neil Patrick Harris lives out nearly everyone with stage fright’s biggest fear: being onstage (nearly) naked.

Willow Bay chose to support her husband, the CEO of Disney (the studio rebooting Star Wars) in the most obvious way possible. The dress, from Rodartes 2014 Fall/Winter collection, is a tough one to pull off, and Bay does it with a touch tongue-and-cheek and total seriousness.

Lupita Nyong'o’s custom Calvin Klein dress was fit for the Little Mermaid. Made with 6,000 pearls and 8,000 sequins the actress appears ready to marry Prince Eric in an under the sea ceremony.

Reese Witherspoon takes selfies with enthusiastic fans all while perfectly posing for photos herself. Now that’s the true mark of an expert.

Love John Stamos but how did he nab an invite to the most exclusive Hollywood event of the year? Pretty sure he hasn’t been in anything award worthy since Full House.

Keira Knightley’s Valentino couture dress was covered in Shakespeare quotes. Only serious literature lovers would wear a gown dedicated to reading.

Protecting his partly bald head from the rain, Simmons is not only smart in his hat choice but it looks pretty good to boot.

The couple capture true love in just one look.

If it weren’t for the fancy tux, it’s possible security wouldn’t let Matthew McConaughey past security.

The Lonely Island performed their hit “Everything Is Awesome” and did so looking like a true boy band, mathing in head-to-toe everything.

Sure, some men wore navy blue and gray, but David Oyelowo went all out in an ox blood tuxedo. The choice certainly paid off because he’s on every best dressed list (which is almost as good as winning an Oscar).

Sarah Hyland’s black and white vertical striped dress makes her look like she’s on the red carpet by mistake and instead belongs locked behind bars.

Producer Rick Rubin wins for the best facial hair of the night. His epic hair beard combo is tousled and ungroomed yet so big and fun.

Lady Gaga wore custom Azzedine Alaia, a beautiful couture gown, but she isn’t one to wear something so normal. To Lady Gaga it up, she added red rubber gloves that she could have bought from the local convenience store.

What happens when a Victoria’s Secret model and a rockstar come together? Unbearable hotness. Behati Prinsloo, in Armani Privé, and Adam Levine, in just Armani, are the cheerleader and quarterback couple of this year’s Oscars.

From the back, Marion Cotillard’s Dior dress looks just like sushi! The white patterened fabric is the rice and black band is the seaweed.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s Ralph & Russo one-shoulder pale pink dress looks like it’s in the process of blooming. If she wasn’t on the red carpet, she’d still be priming for plucking in the soil.

It rarely rains in Los Angeles so when it does, many are unprepared for the moisture. But Jared Leto was on top of his wet weather game with an umbrella on the red carpet to protect his beautiful blow out from the elements.

Emma Stone’s gold custom Elie Saab gown is head-to-toe gold — just like the Oscars statue. If it wasn’t for her red hair then the actress could totally have been mistaken for one of the awards.
