ROONEY MARA
Rooney is the actress I am most excited about at this year's Oscars. She needs something with a slightly weird, creepy undercurrent, but that still says Oscar nominee. Luckily for her, I have found a few dresses that fit the bill.

EMMA STONE
Emma is always switching up her red carpet style, and I don't believe she has worn British designer Giles or a white gown yet...which means that it is time! She should ditch the headpiece, obvs.

| Emma Stone + Giles Fall 2012 |
MICHELLE WILLIAMS
Michelle Williams always looks "cute", but the last time she looked drop dead gorgeous on the red carpet was at the 2006 Oscars when she wore a mustard pleated Vera Wang gown. How glorious would it be if she ditched the crewneck and long-sleeve gowns she favors, and wore this voluminous Giambattista Valli?

OCTAVIA SPENCER
Octavia's style hit a high note at the Golden Globes when she wore a lavender v-neck gown. I would love to see her in a similar neckline and soft color, punched up with some statement jewelry.
 |
| Octavia Spencer + Badgley Mischka Fall 2012 |
DIANE KRUGER
This Jason Wu dress was probably my favorite "potential red carpet gown" on all of the spring runways, and yet, no one has worn it yet! Hopefully that means it is being reserved for the Oscars. Diane has the sartorial panache to pull of this show-stopping gown.

| Diane Kruger + Jason Wu Spring 2012 |
ZOE SALDANA
Zoe always wears something bold, fun and youthful. I'd love to see her in this gorgeous frothy Oscar de la Renta.

ANGELINA JOLIE
After many a sack-like dress, Angelina hit her stride at this year's Golden Globes when she wore a fitted gown. This Marchesa dress combines draping and a neutral color--two of Angelina's signature elements--for a bombshell look.

| Angelina Jolie + Marchesa Fall 2012 |
CATE BLANCHETT
Let's face it--Cate can wear anything she wants and look stunning--but I would love to see her in this dark, dramatic Gucci.

| Cate Blanchett + Gucci Fall 2012 |
TILDA SWINTON
Tilda Swinton is going to bring the avant garde (and the awesome), per the usual.
 |
| Tilda Swinton + Jean Paul Gaultier Couture Spring 2012 |
CHARLIZE THERON
Charlize Theron loves her Dior Couture gowns, but without designer John Galliano at the helm of the fashion house, there isn't much in recent collections to choose from. I would love her to switch things up and have a dramatic Versace moment.
 |
| Charlize Theron + Atelier Versace Couture Spring 2012 |
VIOLA DAVIS
Viola looks stunning in color, so I think the bolder the better for the Oscars. She could really make this canary yellow number sing.
 |
| Viola Davis + Elie Saab Spring 2012 |
JESSICA CHASTAIN
Jessica rarely lives up to her potential on the red carpet, which is why I'd like to see her take things to the next level with a Chanel Couture gown. The colors of this gown would look fantastic against her hair and skin tone.
