Drama and derivative were the key looks on the Oscars red carpet.
Here's who dressed well, dressed like another person and who did it with flair in 2017.
Best dressed rip-offs
Janelle Monae
The Moonlight and Hidden Figures actor (right) appeared to loot both Marie Antoinette and Halle Berry's 2002 wardrobe (left) in this Elie Saab creation that needed wide load pilot car down the red carpet.
Karlie Kloss
Model and cookie entrepeneur Karlie Kloss can code but can she Google? Her she is wearing a Stella McCartney cape dress five years after Gwyneth Paltrow, an Oscar winner, did it albeit Goop's high priestess' was by Tom Ford back in 2012.
Best dressed
Jessica Biel
The Timberlakes' cat appears to have attacked the metallic Kaufman Franco look Jessica is sporting but it works. Also the Tiffany & Co feather choker is a little too Coachella for me which is why it's great. Good to see the brand of the little blue box branch out.
Brie LarsonWith this Oscar de la Renta number Tess McGill, sorry, Brie Larson is saying: "I have a head for business and body for sin". Side note, how did Working Girl not win an Oscar back in the day?
Octavia Spencer
The Hidden Figures star shines in Marchesa. No ostriches were harmed in the making of this...I hope.
Most creative
Leslie Mann
The Other Woman star looks more delicious than the mustard on a Bunnings sausage in this Zac Posen creation.
Best political statement
Emma Stone ![Emma Stone arrives at the Oscars on Sunday, Feb. 26, 2017, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that an Oscar nominee dresses like a bore in order to look "timeless". Emma Stone in Givenchy follows this trend. The only fun is happening just north of her ankles where she looks like she's stolen the plastic door curtains from a country roadhouse. But, and this is big BUT, she brought a little activism to her look with a subtle, silver Planned Parenthood pin.

Best throwbacks
Dakota JohnsonThe Fifty Shades of Grey star must enjoy diving in her down time. Why? Because this Gucci dress, with manta ray-sized pussy bow, looked like it was pulled from a trunk that was lost when the Titanic went down.
Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman
These two love birds, in Armani Prive, look like high-school sweethearts, ones that graduated around the time I did because Keith is still rocking those frosted highlights and a ghd-tamed mane. A look every white, suburban boy yearned for back in 1999.
