Oscars 2013: Jessica Chastain’s best red carpet look yet?

Share via

When in doubt, go with Giorgio Armani and the old Hollywood look.

Jessica Chastain did just that, choosing a coppery-nude sequin mesh strapless gown by Armani Prive. And it may just be her best red carpet look yet.

“It’s a very ‘Happy birthday, Mr. President’ dress,” she told Ryan Seacrest, referring to Marilyn Monroe’s famous Jean Louis gown. Chastain’s Veronica Lake hairstyle and matte red lips are the perfect accents.

When it comes to cultivating a red carpet identity, Chastain hasn’t exactly been consistent since she burst on the scene in 2011. She went minimalist-modern in coral Calvin Klein at Cannes, evil fairy godmother in a crinkled, corseted and crystal-embellished Louis Vuitton gown at the Met Ball, over-the-top baroque in a heavy, black-and-gold brocade Alexander McQueen gown at last year’s Oscars and everything in between.

This dress falls in the clean and classic style category. I’d say Chastain has found a good fit. Mr. Armani should be very pleased.
