Anne Hathaway's Oscar Dresses

Anne Hathaway , 26, is a relative newcomer to the Academy Awards. Although she presented at last year's event, the Best Actress nomination she recieved for her work in Rachel Getting Married is her first.

In 2007, Anne wore white Valentino gown replete with giant black bows. She complemented the gown--which many hated but I love--with bracelets from Van Cleef and Arpels.

Last year, Hathaway wore a romantic red Marchesa dress with floral embellishments that looked incredible with her borrowed Harry Winston jewels.

Anne is very rarely a disappointment on the red carpet. She wore one of my favorite gowns of last year to the Venice premiere of Rachel Getting Married, an Atelier Versace gown in soft greens and blues.

Here it is on Hathaway, who makes an excellent model:

I'd love to see Hathaway continue to wear lots of color on the red carpet (I didn't like her Armani Privé Golden Globes gown for that reason--navy is just not that exciting). It might be very interesting to see Hathaway in another Atelier Versace gown.

While purple isn't everyone favorite shade, I'm positive that Hathaway has the body and grace to pull this one off.

The big question is not if 'The Hurt Locker' will upset 'Avatar', but if Zoe Saldana was better dressed than Sandra Bullock.
