The 83rd Annual Academy Awards red carpet was a glittering affair. Here's a look at some of the stars in their very best. Click through the pictures and vote for your favourite look.

Aside from Mallika Sherawat and A R Rahman, who were both spotted at the Oscar red carpet, the Indian contingent also included Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who came with husband Abhishek.

What do you think of Ash's look?

Hilary Swank sure knows how to make an entrance. The 36-year-old actress chose a Gucci Premiere couture strapless floor length evening gown.

Amy Adams may have lost out the Best Supporting Actress award to co-star Melissa Leo (both were nominated for The Fighter. Leo won), but she looks like a winner nonetheless in this midnight blue fully sequined L'Wren Scott gown.

Looking resplendant in a navy satin and tulle ball gown is Marisa Tomei.

Do you love feathers on your dress? Sharon Stone seems to think so.

Singer Jennifer Hudson strutted her stuff in a tangerine orange Atelier Versace dress.

We were wondering when this fashion staple was going to make an appearance. Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine was spotted at the Oscars red carpet in a yellow dress with ruffles.

The singer performed the Oscar-nominated song "If I Rise" with A R Rahman from the movie 127 Hours, in place of Dido, who sang the track originally.

Robynn Murray, subject in Poster Girl which is nominated in documentary short subject, opted for these interesting tattoos as she arrives at the red carpet.

Mandy Moore kept it young and fresh in an elegant Monique Lhuillier in blush.

Virginia Madsen made a dramatic entry in a feathered Romona Keveza dress. Diamond chandelier earrings, and a bright red lipstick complete the ultra glam look.

We couldn't help but notice four-time Oscar nominee Annette Bening's elegant gunmetal dress.

Halle Berry made a pretty picture in this strapless nude Marchesa dress with a beaded bodice and tulle train.

Looking at Celine Dion's super slim figure in a Giorgio Armani Prive gown, we find it hard to believe the singer gave birth to twins Eddy and Nelson just four months ago.

True Blood's Anna Paquin stayed true to the theme of her show about vampires in this blood red outfit.

French-American actress Sunrise Coigney (her husband Mark Ruffalo is nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his work in The Kids Are All Right) keeps us guessing with her two toned dress. The effect is very disorienting, to say the least.
