Oscars’ Winning Ladies: The 10 Best Dressed at the 2014 Academy Awards

This year’s Academy Awards will be known as the night the moms almost eclipsed some of the stars on the red carpet. Academy Award winners Jared Leto (for Best Supporting Actor) and Matthew McConaughey (for Best Actor) both brought their mothers as dates to the Oscars last night. And despite their mega-watt off-springs at their sides, the ladies held their own sartorially.

But, there were other Golden Girls that ruled the night as well.

We list the winning Zoomer-rific looks that wowed us on the red carpet.

Despite host Ellen DeGeneres referring to her as ‘Sir’, there wasn’t anything masculine about Minnelli’s cobalt blue silky pajama look. She looked chic and comfortable–and added a touch of rebellion with a matching streak of blue in her hair.
