The choice is yours. 01 of 03 Naomie Harris in Calvin Klein Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic; Courtesy "Naomie gets the award for the most modern look on the Oscar red carpet. The strapless sequined white dress with a paneled train perfectly merged Raf Simons's signature edge with Calvin's refined, clean-lined aesthetic."

This dress was a departure from her typical look, but in no way was it demure. Her nude, slim couture gown had almost an Indian sari type of pattern with gentle metallic embellishment broderie anglaise effect. This look was elegant and chic with just the right touch to keep it cool."
