Jennifer Lawrence, Anne Hathaway, And More Winning Looks From The 2013 Oscars
Five years prior, Jennifer Lawrence tripped on her Dior dress and fell into our hearts while accepting the Oscar for her dazzling efficiency in Silver Linings Playbook. She played it off in common J-Law style — through self-deprecating humor and charisma — and with that, Lawrence's Hollywood star power was solidified.
Although 2013 was also the year Ben Affleck's Argo took residence Best Picture, Anne Hathaway's earnest acceptance speech made the full internet made for no real reason, Daniel Day-Lewis won his third Oscar, and Ang Lee scored his second Best Director statuette for a film you could or might not remember. In summary, the 2013 Academy Awards were weird.
The red carpet, nevertheless, was anything yet. From Hathaway's last-minute dress switcheroo to Lawrence's now-infamous blush Dior Couture gown, let's take a look back at some of the ideal looks from the 2013 Oscars red carpet:

If I asked you to close your eyes and think of Lawrence's best Oscars red carpet look, there's a good chance one of two dresses come to mind: the sleek red, custom Calvin Klein number or this regal, pale pink Dior Couture gown. Immediately considering that, the dress was written into Oscars history the moment J-Law won the Academy Award for Best Actress — and afterward tripped over its dramatic skirt.

Anne Hathaway's perky pink Prada gown was a late-minute decision. Originally, the Oscar frontrunner was set to don Valentino on the red carpet, yet she determined to change the dress immediately after seeing her Les Misérables co-star Amanda Seyfried's Alexander McQueen gown, which she felt was also similar. (You can decide for yourself if Hathaway made the correct call.) The red carpet switcheroo was such a big deal that Hathaway had to issue an apology to Valentino.

Amy Adams

As soon as it comes to the Oscars, Amy Adams is the epitome of routinely a bridesmaid, never a bride. She is Leonardo DiCaprio, a five-time Oscar nominee who's so deserving of a golden statuette that it's actually crazy she doesn't already have one. And if there was ever per year for Adams to win, it was 2013 for her magnetic efficiency in The Master. Sigh. At least she looked like a winner in this strapless Oscar De La Renta lavender ball gown.

Hey, look! Jennifer Aniston's not wearing black. While Aniston tends to keep things simple and sophisticated in black on most red carpets, in 2013, the star decided on a bright red Valentino gown with a full, prom-ready skirt. For Aniston, it's not about decorative detailing and tulle; some days, a pop of color is enough. And that color looks nice on you, Jen!
Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman loves her some L'Wren Scott originals, and in 2013, the Aussie actress looked like a sequined vision in this black and gold ensemble. This is how you bring casual elegance to the Oscars red carpet.

At age nine, Quvenzhané Wallis became the youngest Best Actress nominee in the past of the Oscars — and you also know the tiny leading lady looked fierce on the red carpet for her big night. The blue dress from Giorgio Armani was adorable, yet the furry handbag accessory? Her pocketbook pooch had its own dress! Wallis is a real trendsetter.
