Jessica Chastain in Alexander McQueen - 2012 Academy Awards

Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain was on the red carpet for the annual Academy Awards last night held in Hollywood. The stunning red-head became a favourite of mine from the moment I saw her gliding down the carpet...my jaw dropped.

Dress: Alexander McQueen
Heels: Brian Atwood 'Alesha' Monster Pumps

Jessica was picture perfect in her custom Alexander McQueen dress which had a stunning regal feel to it. The strapless, black organza gown had a stunning gold embroidery along with metal thread all over it - it's a work of art and Jessica is beaming while wearing this creation. One of the absolute best of the night.

Another thing that blew me away was Jessica's hair - the strawberry blonde hue is so beautiful that I can't stop staring at it and the sweet half-up-half down style is perfect to show off that strong corset. Her make-up was light and flawless with only a flick of liquid eyeliner to let her gown (and hair) take centre stage. Absolutely mind blowing!
