Oscar® Glamour

Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger

Fans eagerly anticipate Oscar® night every year to see what movie gets top honors, which actors win the coveted statuette—and what all the stars are wearing, of course! At the 78th Annual Academy Awards® last year, some of the biggest names in Hollywood told Gayle King how they choose that all-important outfit.

Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger were both nominated for their performances in Brokeback Mountain after falling in love on the set. Michelle, who gave birth to their daughter, Matilda, in October 2005, wore a bright yellow Vera Wang gown. While Michelle's look took some planning, Heath said he kept it simple. "It was easy for me—black with a bow tie."
