One of my favorite Oscar categories is costume design. When designers work on a movie, they let their imaginations go free and create rich, interesting pieces of clothing for their characters. Nothing exemplifies this more than this year’s list of nominees.

The designers for Anna Karenina, Les Miserables, Lincoln, Mirror Mirror, and Snow White and the Huntsman were all nominated for their work. Jacqueline Durran for Anna Karenina took home the award— click through the gallery to see all the Oscar-worthy costumes! xoxo, Whit
