The final stretch to the Oscar has officially begun.
Festivities kicked off in LA yesterday evening with the 40th anniversary of Charlie Chaplin’s honorary Academy Award at the Chateau Marmont.
Jessica Chastain completely blew me away in a Kelly green Elie Saab Spring 2012 gown.
The bright dress makes the actress’ waist look teeny, cinched with a matching green belt, and lace insets around her décolletage add a hint of skin.
I can’t wait to see what Jessica brings to the carpet over the coming days.

Its quite wonderful, though I prefer it on a smaller bust. Can’t wait for Sunday!
Lovely!!! (I’m assuming part of that bodice is lined) I LOVE her in green and this is a great comeback after that McQueen disaster! She got the makeup/hair right here too. I wish she’d carry a clutch at the Oscars…:D
I love her in green too!
I think she is the best discovery of 2011… even though she hasn’t hit it out of the park on every red carpet, her personality and natural charisma come through in each and every look…. unlike say Rooney Mara who sucks the life out of every look. I prefer her a 100000000000000000%
I think this is her best look this year to date.
agreed! i think it’s the first time i really like what she’s wearing!
fantastic!
Totally agree! She looks amazing here & you can’t beat a redhead/green dress combo.
Absolutely!!! love this look
I love love love it but I am probably biased since I am a huge Elie Saab fan. Perhaps it is the picture but I find the green version of the model much more vibrant while the one of Jessica is pale.
One of my dreams is to own an Elie Saab gown…….
I wish her hair was a bit brighter/deeper shade of red, I’m missing these pop of red against green that usually works so well. Perhaps brighter lips would’ve helped then. The lace inserts don’t quite work with her bust.
Love the hair, makeup and the dress. Perfection! BDOTW please!
I’m not a big fan of her outfits but she looks stunning in this green dress.
I’m not sure I like how it looks around the bust, but the red hair and green dress combo is working its magic.
The green looks amazing against her hair. Still longing for a clutch, but she’s radiant
I think she’s saving a clutch for the Oscars
BDOTW. Amazing.Now that’s what I’m talking about.
Why can’t she do this more often?
I was asking myself this same question. Saab to the rescue….
I think this is the best she has looked this awards season. Still missing the clutch… maybe we will get lucky on Sunday
maybe
I’m tired of seeing her in green.
To me, this is the most youthful and best she has looked throughout her entire red carpet run.
The King works wonders again! Her best ever so far…
I would have loved this in a darker shade of green.
WOW. BDOTW!!!
I really hope she wears Elie Saab to the Oscars. Perhaps explore the peach and peacock blue colors in the same season.
Love this look on Queen Chastain <3
I adore this. The colour on her, the silhouette, teh hair (excusing the behind the ear thing), the ring, everythign is much improved.
I have hope for the Oscars, so much so that I think we might even get a clutch, but I don’t want to push it.
BDOTW nominee
Still missing the clutch. But, who cares when she looked this good.
Finally, I can look at Jessica and say “wow”. This is probably her best look to date.
This dress is amazing! Gosh, she is so beautiful!
WOW! Her best look EVER !
Yay! Elie Saab to the rescue! She looks amazing here. This is such a successful rebound from some of her recent red carpet faux pas.
FINALLY she wears something exciting! Love it!
She looks awesome! Elie Saab is a genius artist!
