Tom Ford has dressed everyone from Jennifer Lawrence to Beyonce, but he’s most proud of the minimalist white gown and matching floor-length cape he gave Gwyneth Paltrow for her appearance at the 2012 Oscars. “I have to say that was my favorite fashion moment,” the designer told audiences at the 92nd Street Y’s “Fashion Icons” lecture series in New York City. “I loved the simplicity of it and I loved it for that moment in time.” A cape takes confidence to pull off, and Ford acknowledged that.  “I love that Gwyneth was brave enough to do that,” he said. “And that she stood so perfectly in that outfit.” We agree—she topped our 2012 Oscars best-dressed list!

Octavia Spencer’s Tadashi Shoji Oscars gown just got a wallet-friendly makeover! The designer created a $448 version of the original, which had taken 1,000 hours of work, a team of 10, and six fittings to finish. You don’t need a red carpet to work the look—we think the remake is a great option for brides who aren’t afraid to sparkle. Score yours at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, California today and Forum Shops at Caesars in Las Vegas, Nevada starting Thursday, April 5th. Call 1-877-TADASHI for more information.

Angelina Jolie‘s right leg made a splash at the 2012 Oscars, but we think her perfect red lipstick really stole the spotlight! That’s why we caught up with her makeup artist Toni Garavaglia to get the inside scoop on her look. “We wanted to balance Angelina’s makeup with her elegant Atelier Versace dress,” she told InStyle.com exclusively. “We decided that a red lip paired with a soft, clean smoky eye was the way to go.” Garavaglia lightly applied Jolie’s eye shadow, added a dash of liquid liner, then pulled the entire look together with a generous sweep of MAC’s Russian Red lipstick, a true cherry with blue undertones.
