Oscars red carpet hits:Cate Blanchett, Alicia Vikander and the best dresses on the red carpet

The Oscars red carpet has become so "safe" that there were no frock horrors to be found at this year"s ceremony.But there are the risk-takers and those who we can rely on to do the unexpected.

Here are our top 10 looks from the event"s official red carpet arrivals:

We loved the singer"s embrace of a jumpsuit as opposed to a traditional frock, the overall effect was classic Old Hollywood glamour but with an edge.Gaga loves to break the rules but she may have just been tamed - to just the right amount.And best of all, she championed the work of her stylist, Brandon Maxwell.

The strapless silhouette is one that has become Watt"s go-to, but she never lets it get boring (see Reese Witherspoon for that).Instead, the actress is bold when it comes to colour choices and cuts.ThisArmaniPriv?? number, in sapphire blue and vibrant purple was fully embroidered in stripes of Swarovski crystals, sequins and lurex thread tocreate a modern, chevron pattern.

The 21-year-old was being compared to her Atonement Keira Knightley on social media (referencing the iconic emerald green dress which Knightley, who played her older sister in the film, wore), with lots of mentions of the Dublin star being "all grown-up".Indeed, this could be classed as Ronan"s "coming out" look.It was bold, she was as ease in it and delighted those who wanted to believe that she chose green for her native Ireland.

Robbie is another star who doesn"t have a signature red carpet look so it"salways interesting to see what she picks.This time, we loved the paradoxes between her beachy hair and high-octane gown.It"s not an easy line to straddle, but The Big Short star balanced it perfectly.

Moore"s relationship with the French fashion house is going from strength to strength.Last year she collected her best Actress award in a white, sequinned column Chanel gown.This year, she swished onto the red carpet in an elegant floor-sweeper that was subtle, serious and still sublime.

A year ago, we had no idea who thisStar Wars star was.In a short amount of time, Daisy Ridleyhas establishedherself as one to watch on the red carpet.We loved the length of this beautifully beaded Chanel frock- it looked fresh as a, um, daisy.

The actress always blazes a trail during awards season and tonight she topped it all off with a bespoke gown that the Armani house called a"seafoammermaid gown".It"s been a long, long time since we ached for mermaid qualities, so thanks for that, Ms Blanchett.

Vikander admitted that she was inadvertentlychanneling Belle from Disney"s Beauty and the Beastbut she didn"t look like a caricature.Instead, she proved her super-human qualities bypullingoff an immensely tricky shade and sauntered onto the stage to win the award for Best Supporting Actress in the process.

Same, same - but different; that"s how it goes with Rooney Mara.The Carol nominee rarely veers from her ghostly colour palette and romantic ruffles, but if it isn"t broken - why on earth try to fix it?

Back in January we mused whether nominee Charlotte Rampling was attending Giorgio Armani"s Haute Couture show in Paris because she was in the hunt for a red carpet-worthy frock.Turns out she was doing just that: she"s rocked up looking effortless in ablue and white long-sleeved gown with pocket details, embellished with small geometric patterns and Swarovski crystals.Her lithe figure lends itself to a straight dress and it wassuch a refreshing choice over a poufy frock.
