After paging through thousands of red-carpet photographs from this year’s awards season, which just wrapped up with Sunday’s Oscars, we’ve noticed a popular designer emerge—Maria Lucia Hohan! Ashley Tisdale and Maria Menounos chose the Romanian designer’s clothes over Academy Awards weekend alone, while Stacy Kiebler and Jennifer Hudson also picked her elaborately draped and pleated gowns for red carpet events this year. ”It’s a dream come true, and I thank the universe for listening to my wishes and opening doors for me,” Hohan told InStyle.com of seeing celebrities in her line, which she first launched in 2003. ”My gowns are very glamorous, yet not too dressy, which is a nice combination.” Each of of her star-approved looks are handmade and shoppable on her website, mlh-shop.com. They run around $1,000 each and can be crafted in any color—including white, a great bridal option. See who else loves wearing Hohan’s designs in the gallery!

Vanessa Hudgens (in Maria Lucia Hohan) brought along some friends to help her celebrate her new movie Journey 2: The Mysterious Island at The Colony in Los Angeles. ”Goin to support ma girl Vanessa,” Tweeted Ashley Tisdale before meeting up with her fellow Disney alum BFF and The Vow star Rachel McAdams (in Peter Som) at the event. See Madonna, Carrie Underwood, and more stars at last night’s hottest events in the gallery!
