The hottest red carpet styles from the recently concluded Oscar Academy awards!

The 87th Academy awards featured a lot of highs -- Birdman winning big, and Best Supporting Actress win for Boyhood's Patricia Arquette -- as well as a few lows, Neil Patrick Harris's hosting stint being the biggest of them all.

Hollywood divas brought their own share of glamour and drama to the red carpet too.

Take a look at the most fashionable appearances from the show!
