Jessica Chastain and Rooney Mara were our other favorite looks of the night. The Help and The Tree of Life star looked like she belonged in a museum in her bronze and black Baroque style Alexander McQueen gown, while Mara looked angelic in a gorgeous white Givenchy gown.

Did J.Lo get the memo that she was presenting at the Oscars – not the Grammys?! The former Fly Girl resurrected her old look, showing too much skin in a Zuhair Murad gown that showed off her assets to the max. She finished off the fashion faux pas with Lorraine Schwartz bling.

The wackiest look of the nigh was undeniably Sacha Baron Cohen who channeled The Dictator. Dressed like the title character of his controversial upcoming flick, he told Ryan Seacrest that he was wearing John Galliano and Kmart socks before he spilled the ashy contents of his urn all over the television personality.

They all should have just wore street clothes and donated the money they spent on stroking their egos with jewels, expensive designer shoes and gowns and suits, and gave the money to charity.
