From nominees to performers, all were keen to look their best on the night – and kept their fans up to date with their preparations.
Reese Witherspoon shared a series of pictures with her Twitter followers, including one of a beautiful bunch of flowers from her husband Jim Toth. The Wild star, who is nominated for the Best Actress in a Leading Role award told her fans: "Best thing to have on #Oscars red carpet? Someone who loves & supports you… (And buys you flowers.) I love my date!"
Meanwhile her fellow Leading Actress nominee Marion Cotillard was having fun getting ready with her hairdresser, stylist and manicurist in matching neon pink vests.
