Cameron Diaz, Gwenyth Paltrow and Jennifer Lopez were among the stars who opted for neutral shades at the Oscars, while Jennifer’s plunging neckline almost flashed her nipple to the audience.
Cameron stunned in a floor-length cream strapless Gucci gown complete with a feathered train and more than £630,000 worth of Tiffany & Co. jewellery.
Having got ready for the prestigious event at Los Angeles’ Kodak Theatre with best friend Gwyneth, the 39-year-old ‘Bad Teacher’ actress said she struggled to choose from the many “beautiful” dresses on offer.
She told ABC News, “It’s a process. I just try to see what’s out there gown-wise and this year there were so many beautiful gowns. The train is a little heavy, but it’s so masterfully crafted.
“These dresses are works of artisans, and the way that they fit and the way they hold onto [your] body, you know who you’re dealing with when you put it on your body.”
The former model co-presented the awards for Best Costume Design and Best Make-Up with Jennifer Lopez, who was clad in a typically daring Zuhair Murad couture gown with a plunging neckline and cut-out sleeves.
Natalie Portman, 30 – who won the Best Actress award for her role in ‘Black Swan’ at last year’s ceremony – debuted her post-baby body in a vintage red chiffon silk Christian Dior Couture gown with velvet polka-dot detail, accessorized with a diamond necklace and drop earrings from Harry Winston.
Angelina Jolie, 36, played it safe in a black velvet gown with a box front and a thigh-high split, while Best Actress winner Meryl Streep encapsulated Hollywood glamour in her golden Lanvin dress.
The ‘American Idol’ judge took to the stage in a shimmering dress to present the Oscar for Best Costume Design and Best Make-up with Cameron Diaz but the audience at the Kodak Theatre and TV viewers spotted the wardrobe tape she was using to preserve her modesty in the low cut gown.
A twitter account has already been set up in homage to the incident, called @jlosnipple with tweets including “I have no regrets….I have been confined for years and have never been given a chance to be heard. #nipslips (sic)”.
The account also makes reference to the fact that most viewers didn’t actually see her nipple, writing, “For people that don’t have HD….I understand why you aren’t following me. For everyone else….you’re welcome.”
Jennifer’s nipple wasn’t the only body part to find itself with a twitter account after last night’s ceremony. Angelina Jolie’s right leg also has its own page on the micro blogging site after the actress struck a bizarre pose on the red carpet and again as she presented an award.
Posts on the page include “Still here. Great view, but thank god for the slit in this dress” and “Don’t forget about the leg! Look at this leg!!!”
