All the Oscars Style & Beauty Moments We’re Still Talking About

Feb/25/2013 at 02:30 PM ET

For the most part, it was a stunning, but relatively predictable, Oscars red carpet Sunday night (no dramatic capes, crazy hairstyles or wacky nail art to be found). That said, there were still several ladies who stood out in looks that will more than likely go down in Academy Awards style history — for good and not-so-good reasons. Let’s discuss:

Jennifer Lawrences’s everything: From her Dior Haute Couture gown (which we totally predicted!) to her stunning 74 carat Chopard necklace worn backward, the star was the night’s big winner both on and off the carpet. Oh, and did you see the dress she changed into for the Vanity Fair after-party? Smoking hot.

The Oscar Dresses You Didn’t See

Feb/25/2013 at 12:45 PM ET

After the last Oscar is handed out, actresses rush to change out of their elegant ballgowns and slip into something sexier (and more dance-floor-friendly!) for the after-parties. And since most stars’ second looks rarely get as much screen time as their red carpet numbers, we’re spotlighting our favorite post-show dresses.

Jennifer Lawrence: After tripping in her over-the-top Dior creation when accepting her trophy for Best Actress, the Oscar winner changed into something she could get down in — a second-skin metallic Calvin Klein Collection dress with a structured bodice. (Side note: Does the sexiness and simplicity of this gown remind anyone else of a certain other Calvin Klein Collection design Lawrence once wore on the red carpet?)

The Oscars Beauty Breakdown: Lips & Tips

Feb/25/2013 at 11:30 AM ET

Nail art? No thanks! Bold red lips? Not this year! We saw a surprising number of pale gowns on the Oscars red carpet Sunday night, and a number of soft, neutral beauty looks to go along with them. So here are seven stars whose pouts and nails we loved — and the scoop on the exact shades they’re wearing:

Jennifer Lawrence: When you’re wearing something as dramatic as that breathtaking Dior gown, you don’t need much else! So J. Law‘s makeup artist, Jillian Dempsey, went minimal with makeup, using Dior Addict lipstick in Beige Casual #222 to create a mauve lip. Manicurist April Foreman went a similar route, complementing the winner’s dress with CoverGirl Outlast Nail Gloss in Forever Frosted; an understated, ballet-inspired color.

‘Les Misérables’ Stars’ Oscar Gowns: Love ‘Em or Leave ‘Em?

Though Anne Hathaway and Amanda Seyfried got a thumbs-up from the PEOPLE StyleWatch team for their bubbly red carpet demeanors and terrific hair and makeup, their dresses inspired decidedly mixed reactions.

Hathaway said she picked her baby pink Prada column just hours before the ceremony. The dress had a fun, criss-crossed back and the Tiffany & Co. diamonds she draped herself with were spectacular, but the bodice of the dress was, er, possibly not safe for work when seen up close on the red carpet.

Seyfried’s lilac Alexander McQueen gown with silver leaf embroidery was a sophisticated pick (and a challenging one: she mentioned that the corset was “pushing her organs out of her body”) but the fit wasn’t exact — and if you’re reading, Amanda, we’d really love to see you in more color.

Since we’re ambivalent about these dresses, we want you to vote in the polls below, and tell us: What do you think of Hathaway and Seyfried’s Oscar gowns? If you don’t like them, what would you want to see them wear?

Naeem Khan’s breathtaking designs are beloved by stars as diverse as Katy Perry, Michelle Obama and Lea Michele — and after seeing the stunning, sparkling gowns the designer sent down the runway last week, we have a feeling he’ll be adding another celeb fan to his lineup Sunday night.

“I designed my Autumn/Winter 2013 collection with the Academy Awards in mind,” Khan tells PEOPLE of his most recent collection, which was full of elegant dresses featuring his signature intricate beadwork and feminine details. “Every gown is really an ‘Oscar gown.’”

Nonetheless, he accepted our difficult challenge to narrow it down to three pieces he’d love to see walk the Oscars red carpet. He declined to name names, but we definitely have a wish list of A-listers we’d love to see step out in these options this weekend.

Our New Favorite Way to Stay Warm in Style

As February plods along, it can seem like there’s a limit on inventive ways to wear tights, denim and wool — and facing our closets is getting grim. Luckily, Kim Kardashian, Anne Hathaway and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley stepped out in three very different menswear looks to remind us that there are plenty more ways to look cute (and stay warm) this winter.

First, Kardashian skips maternity leggings and oversized sweaters in favor of a sleek, chic and sophisticated monochromatic suit look. The bow-tied blouse and flared pants gave her a retro vibe, but single-sole pumps and a wavy blowout were totally 2013.

Next, Hathaway gave the look a hipster twist by choosing a shrunken Band of Outsiders suit worn over a buttoned-up shirt by the line. Along with her cat-eye frames and shimmering Vince Camuto Oxfords, the star achieved a glam ’60s vibe while still looking super-comfortable.

Finally, Huntington-Whitely proved definitively that suits can be smokin’ in her scarlet Burberry ensemble, worn with a slouchy black tank and delicate chain necklace. And though those barely-there sandals defeat the “warmth” factor we’re looking for, the heat she’s generating with that hair more than makes up for a few chilly moments outdoors.

Tell us: Would you work a suit into your winter wardrobe rotation? Whose look do you like best?
