Two-time Academy Award-winner Meryl Streep is America’s most decorated actress. The multitalented star has been nominated for 13 Oscars and 20 Golden Globes, and she earned the prestigious American Film Institute Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004. It’s little wonder that Diane Keaton has called her "my generation's genius" and that Robert Redford has raved, “There's simply no finer craftsman in the business. She's as good as it gets.”

Oscars 2012 Wallpaper
Here’s the truth — not as many Teen.com faves attended the Oscars last night as they did the Grammys. And uh, not as many teen-centric celebs won either, unfortch. So instead of making this red carpet post about the best dressed of the night, we’ll instead show you pics of stars young and old, from Sarah Hyland to Gwyneth Paltrow, and you’ll have to make the decision on who looked the prettiest. Fun game, right? Ok, so let’s get crackin…
Shailene Woodley went the, um, intergalactic route with this dress, but some critics are saying it totally aged her. Agree?
Sarah Hyland was at the Oscars as a fashion correspondent, and we think she nailed it with this pretty purple gown.
Peeps are saying Emma Stone‘s dress was too similar to Nicole Kidman’s 2007 Oscars dress (Google that), but our biggest problem with it? That in-your-face bow…
Rooney Mara had a weird thing going on at the boobs, but the white gown is otherwise totally gorg. Or is it?!
Leave it to JLo to look shiny yet not slutty. Her body is just so ridic we can’t even look at it without crying of jealousy.
Michelle Williams‘ peplum coral gown was just the right amount of pretty for the nominee. Lovin’ those ruffly layers!
Ellie Kemper from Bridesmaids described her Armani Prive gown as “sparkly rust,” but we’d describe it as pure perfection. Bonus points too for matching her dress to her hair.
Cameron Diaz‘s body-con dress was a bit off in color but totally on in shape. But then again, with a bod like that…
Last year’s big winner Natalie Portman opted for a polka dotted red gown. It’s just not fair how she always looks amazing.

Michelle Williams (top) has to be our best dressed of the night in her strapless tulle Louis Vuitton gown. She headed up a red gown gang whose notables also included Livia Firth in a stunning fairytale Valentino Haute Couture gown which was custom made for her Green Carpet Challenge from recycled polyester from plastic bottles (not your average style statement); Dior ambassador Natalie Portman who neatly dodged being predictable by choosing a vintage dress from the Dior archives from 1954; and veteran British actress Jane Seymour who by some genetic miracle managed to pull off a strappy red sparkly gown at the age of 61.
2. LONG WHITE GOWNS ARE NO LONGER JUST FOR SAYING 'I DO'

In fact, the more romantic the better as this glamorous trio of bridal mermaids prove. And they weren't the only ones channelling the fairytale wedding vibe. The red carpet was positively fit to burst with all the floor-length white gowns on show from Cameron Diaz to Octavia Spencer. Of course, leave it to our favourite new fashion plate Rooney Mara to do it best. Her Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci gown was offset to perfection by her alabaster complexion and jet black hair.
3. NO FUSS DOESN'T MEAN NO DRAMA

Just ask Gwyneth Paltrow whose sharply tailored white Tom Ford gown with cape detail was a total knockout without any need for elaborate frills, jewels, bells or whistles. Following suit were Charlene, Princess of Monaco who resisted temptation to over-embellish her elegant white Akris gown; and rising star Shailene Woodley who confessed that one of the major attractions of this beautiful Valentino couture gown was that she could still breathe in it.
4. GO AHEAD, MATCH YOR OUTFIT TO THE AWARD

This is totally fine if you're a) planning on winning one later like Meryl Streep whose custom made Lanvin for the Green Carpet Challenge gown looked a triumph next to her Best Actress statuette; b) possibly winning one like Jessica Chastain who although sadly lost out on the the night, still looked a winner in this Alexander McQueen gown; or c) escorting a potential winner like Stacy Keibler whose stunning Marchesa gown was teamed with the ultimate accessory - George Clooney. No one else need apply.
5. BY ALL MEANS VAMP IT UP, BUT DO IT WITH GUSTO

Not every woman can pull off the whole 'I'm sexy and I know it' look without looking like they're trying too hard. Notable exceptions to this were Angelina 'OMG Amazing' Jolie who looked ready to ravish the photographers at any moment; Jennifer 'Shake Your Money Maker' Lopez whose motto is 'never knowingly underdressed'; and a surprise entry, Glenn Close whose whole demeanour screamed 'yes I may be old enough for my bus pass, but I've still got it damn you!'. Watch out Helen Mirren, there's a new sexy sexagenarian in town.
6. A TOUCH OF OLD HOLLYWOOD GLAMOUR GOES A LONG WAY

Trends schmends. Sometimes we just want to look at a gown and sigh at how wonderfully, magically, dreamy it is. Step forward princess Penelope Cruz who channelled Grace Kelly in a dusty blue, off-the-shoulder Giorgio Armani fancy; best actress nominee Bérénice Bejo in her mint parfait Elie Saab couture gown. Of course, this is what Mr Saab does best, so no surprise that model-turned-actress Milla Jovovich also floored the competition in one of his creations.
7. AND UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING...
NO-NOS left to right: Viola Davis in Vera Wang; Ann Sophie Bion; Missi Pyle.
Do not jostle and squeeze your assets into a dress that isn't equipped to deal with them properly, particularly if that dress is bright green. Never mistake a bin liner for an Oscars gown. One is for rubbish, one just looks it. And finally, try not to let your outfit look like a 1950's bedroom suite complete with frilly valance.
