If Meryl Streep thought dressing like an Oscar would help her win the best actress prize, it worked!
The actress was a vision in gold at the 84th Academy Awards, donning an artfully draped Lanvin gown that left her looking strikingly similar to the coveted trophies on offer.
Meryl took home the big prize for her portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady but dozens of other stars won praise for their fashion choices.
