One of the biggest surprises during the red carpet arrivals? Finding out that Emma Watson was wearing a pair of pants under her orange Dior dress. Pants. We never thought business in the front and (business) party in the back would work on paper, but Watson proved us wrong and pulled it off flawlessly.

Julia Roberts should have left the layering to Emma Watson. We can applaud her for trying something outside the box, but the crisp white button up (down) under her black dress Dolce and Gabbana just seemed out of place.

It seems like only yesterday when we were seeing Shoshanna Zosia Mamet's long, center parted, ombre hair with tousled waves ... because it was. When the "Girls" actress hit the red carpet with this new cut, we were pleasantly surprised with her fun, fresh look for the new year.

Blame it on the hype? We couldn't wait to see what Best Supporting Actress Jennifer Lawrence and Most Likely to Be on Every Magazine Cover star Allison Williams would wear on the red carpet, but both got lost in the post-show recap. We love black and white color combos (and these beauty looks) as much as the next girl, but the strange shoulder straps on Williams' Alexander McQueen dress and bunching on Lawrence's Dior dress just missed the mark.

Move over Angelina Jolie, there's a new thigh-bearing slit in town. Amber Heard simply oozed sex appeal from the minute she stepped onto the red carpet in her Versace gown. Second only to those mile-high legs: Heard's epic wavy up do. Can anyone top it? It's early in awards season -- only time will tell.
