Four red carpet visions of perfection for the Academy Awards 2015. Like the whole awards season there have been a few hiccups and 'not quite rights' but these four women are flawlessly styled head to toe.

Rosamund Pike in THAT red dress by Givenchy, wowsers! She keeps her leg under control (unlike some other ladies with split dresses and legs aloft). There is no unnecessary jewelry to ruin the lines and fine strapped heels keep all the focus on the glorious dress. A slightly redder shade of lipstick could have given a little more lift to the face but really it's perfect.

Jennifer Hudson At the time of writing this I haven't found who the dress is by but who cares it's styled gorgeously. The candy lemon yellow looks so good and just a fine highlights the waist giving a great shape. Jennifer really knows how to stand well too, this is the winning pose, shoulders down arms slightly back, great.
I love the chic hair and those big jewels just for the ears and hand keeping the neckline and arms long and lean. Lovely, Lovely  Lovely.

Cate Blanchett is always great on the red carpet but I love this for it's bold design. The black dress designed by John Galliano is brilliantly cut and those Tiffany jewels show how you can wear a necklace without cutting off your head. Necklaces are great with black jumpers and worn over a plain dress just like this, making it part of the dress.
Again a little more colour in the lips couldn't hurt but great style.

Rita Ora This girl is the Queen of the red carpet this year, remember that red dress from the Golden Globes? For the Oscars she wore Marchesa in a luxurious navy blue with gold embellishments that make for such a bold and striking look. Yes again letting the dress do the work and styled with elegant drop earrings and a single ring displaying those beautiful limbs. Stunning, Stunning Stunning!
