Ladies in Red at Academy Awards 2008

Heidi Klum

Anne Hathaway

Red was the favorite color of many of ladies of the red carpet, including Heidi Klum, Anne Hathaway, Katherine Heigl, Miley Ray Cyrus and Jillian Fink Dempsey, among others.

Heidi Klum red silk taffeta bustier gown with drape detail by John Galliano Haute Couture was especially riveting.

The gown had a very royal look to it, sort of the over powering look that a queen from a Disney movie may possess or perhaps the regal empress presiding over Project Runway.

Katherine Heigl

Patrick Dempsey and wife Jillian Fink Dempsey

Definitely one of the top gowns on the red carpet.

We understand that the gown will be auctioned off as part of The Heart Truth campaign to raise awareness about women and heart disease.

So if you really want to look regal and have Heidi figure, you may want to bid on this gown.

Miley Ray Cyrus

Anne Hathaway also picked a red gown by Marchesa.

The one shoulder strap gown featured an elegant rose design on the single shoulder strap.

Hathaway was accompanied by her tall, dark and handsome boyfriend Raffaello Follieri and was there to present the Best Animated Feature category.

Red was also the choice of Katherine Heigl.

Katherine Heigl wore a form fitting tight red silk georgette Escada column gown with one shoulder strap and draped and pleated bodice.

Patrick Dempsey wore a slim lapel tuxedo by Versace, while his wife Jillian Fink Dempsey chose a strapless red Versace gown.

Miley Ray Cyrus, aka Hannah Montana, was also in red.

She choose a bright red Valentino chiffon gown with bow detail and a bronze lizard clutch with Swarovski crystals by Mary Norton and shoes from Sergio Rossi.
