No sooner have we got over the hangover from our Ryan Seacrest drinking game (a drink every time he doesn't ask about the dress) than this happens. Thanks to The Fashion Police for alerting us to the fact that eDressMe, frequent purveyors of celebrity rip-off dresses, have already started flogging Oscars-inspired frocks. It's only Thursday!
You too can look like Kate Winslet, Sarah Jessica Parker, Natalie Portman, Angelina Jolie or Amy Adams in a 'budget' alternative (I say budget, but they're $300+ each). Or if you'd prefer, there are also plenty of Golden Globe style dresses too, including JLo, Angelina or Eva Longoria.
If you want.
Being a massive Oscars fashion fan, every year before the Academy Awards I predict what I think we'll see on the red carpet. Inevitably, I get a lot wrong, but it's still fun to see who's being predictable and who has a stylist that thinks outside of the box (not Angelina, that's for sure).
This year, I didn't do too badly, particularly where colour was concerned, and while none of my specific dress predictions were spot-on, I was almost there on plenty of the details and designers. Take a look to see how well I did below the cut, and have a look at my original predictions gallery by clicking here.

For many, the jury was out on Kate Winslet, but as far as I'm concerned (along with the Slumdog Millionnaire team) the 2009 Oscars belonged to her. Her Atelier Yves Saint Laurent by Stefano Pilati assymetric evening gown in grey degrade satin and embroidered black silk tulle was exactly the kind of thing I expected to see her in. The tulle layers have split the vote for many, but I loved how they made the dress look black from the back and grey at the front. She joins the likes of Reese Witherspoon, Freida Pinto, Anne Hathaway and (shockingly) Jennifer Aniston on my surprisingly pale-coloured best dressed list.

Slipping through the backstage door was Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer. Jen presented the award for Best Animated Film and Best Animated Short Film alongside Jack Black. Dressed in a similar style dress to Anne Hathaway, Jennifer sparkled in a strapless silver Valentino Haute Couture gown and Fred Leighton jewels. The less that is said about her hair the better, but overall it was a classic look for the actress.
