Uhm Jung Hwa attended the press conference for her new movie “Best Seller” last week.

The beautiful actress looked amazing wearing a blue Stella McCartney strapless tuxedo dress from the Spring 2010 collection.

You may remember that Natalie Portman wore the same dress on The Late Show with Letterman last year.

Natalie paired her dress with Aldo heels, but Uhm opted for high-end, wearing a pair of Balenciaga platform sandals from the Spring 2007 collection.

I adore this dress. It’s so cute and chic.

Wearing her hair up and opting for minimal jewelry was the perfect way to go for this look, but I would’ve preferred heels in a lighter colour like the one’s the model wore on the runway.

I do get sad when I miss the few looks, but it’s hard to keep up with the picture agencies who are uploading about 1000 pictures per minute on Oscar night. It’s not because I hate the celebrities like some people strangely accused me of.

Here’s a look at a few I missed the first time around.

I bow down to Queen Latfiah in her stunning pink satin figure-hugging custom-made Badgley Mischka gown.

The one shoulder gown featured a jewel-encrusted band and shoulder strap, which was very flattering. Queen accessorized the look with Chopard jewels.

My other -red carpet- Queen is Georgina Chapman who dazzled me in a a black self designed dress paired with Christian Louboutin Madame Butterfly black bow detailed sandals.

I love that Georgina continues to design pieces especially for herself.

Zoe Kravitz looked stunning wearing a Alexis Mabille two-tone strapless gown which was especially designed for her.

She paired her one-of-a-kind gown with Fred Leighton jewels.

At first I thought Miley Cyrus was wearing Christian Dior, but she’s wearing Jenny Packham custom gown.

Anika Noni Rose wore a stunning gown which has a jewel-bodice which lit up the red carpet.

Paula Patton’s maternity style hasn’t really work for me. This Carolina Herrera orange gown fails to bring any excitement to the red carpet.

Helen Mirren sparkled in a Badgley Mischka gown which was covered with silver sequins.

The actress paired her gown with a Chopard necklace.

I normally wouldn’t look twice at a black gown on the red carpet at the Oscars, but Mariska Hargitay looks divine here in Vera Wang.

Elisabetta Canalis and Faith Hill both walked the red carpet with their plus one’s wearing Roberto Cavalli.

Elisabetta wore a custom made red strapless silk satin Roberto Cavalli gown, whilst carrying a Ferragamo clutch.

Faith opted for a Roberto Cavalli black strapless gown with chiffon and lace inserts.

Michelle Pfeiffer and Julianne didn’t walk the red carpet, but they were both spotted backstage.

Michelle opted for a Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 2010 gown, whilst Julianne was glowing wearing a custom Calvin Klein gown with Bulgari jewels.

We didn’t see Zoe Saldana at the Vanity Fair, nor Elton John’s party, but she did walk the red carpet at the Fox Searchlight Pictures Oscar Party on Sunday night.

She also wore a Givenchy Couture look, but this time her gown came from the Fall 2009 collection.

Is Riccardo Tisci replacing his muse Ciara with Zoe?

I do like this gown, but I didn’t love it like her Oscars red carpet gown which was my favourite of the night.

The strapless gown has a ombre red skirt, which she matches with a red clutch.

I think the reason I don’t love this look is because of the clutch.

It feels too obvious and it’s a bit too big for my liking.

Sorry but Diane Kruger gets nil points on Oscar night from me.

Both for her Oscar red carpet look and her Vanity Fair party dress.

Diane opted for this red Calvin Klein Resort 2010 dress for the Vanity Fair party.

Why red?

She would’ve looked so much better in the pale white runway version, but I guess she didn’t go for that since she’d already worn the same colour to the main event.

I really dislike the white bra under this dress.

Malin Akerman smouldered on the red carpet at Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Party on Sunday night.

I glad that someone has realised that there is more to the Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2010 collection than just the black lace dresses.

As I said recently I’m so o.v.e.r those looks.

This is more refreshing mixing the black lace top with a white lace skirt.

She paired her look with black peep-toes and a black clutch.

Salma Hayek walked the red carpet at Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Party on Sunday paying tribute to Alexander McQueen.

When I saw her in the dress my first reaction was “nice tribute, wrong dress”.

As the wife of PPR (who own the Gucci Group who own McQueen) CEO Francois-Henri Pinault, it was right for Salma to wear a McQueen dress, but she should’ve worn a dress to suit her style.

This reptile print dress is wrong for Salma on so many levels.

I hate the hair and she’s way too top heavy for this dress.
