The Academy Awards is just around the folks! And as we countdown to D-day, we remember some of the best (and worse!). Let's begin with the obvious, clothes!

Here are the best dressed ladies at the red carpet of the 79th Annual Academy Awards, in 2007. Go on. Let us know whether you agree!

She might look like a Queen Elizabeth lookalike in The Queen, but boy, is she stylish. Vogue has named her one of the most glamorous women of 2007. And what does Vogue say is her USP? Her poise! We agree.

Dame Helen Mirren does not really need any reason for us to love her. We just do! Her intelligence, her enigma just exudes to such a degree that we cannot help but be amazed. At the Academy Awards 2007, she wore this glorious Christian Lacroix gown. Check out how her silvery grey locks seem to complement the dress wonderfully.

If not for the laughter lines on her face, it is so difficult to believe that the woman is already 61 years old.

We also hear that Mirren is all for being 'natural'. Winner of the Oscars 2007 for her role in The Queen, this talented lady refused offers for free botox and plastic surgery before the Academy Awards season began. No wonder she is ageing gracefully with simple makeup and a brilliant smile.
