The stars sparkled at the 85th Academy Awards on Sunday in Los Angeles – and celebrity moms rocked the red carpet in a big way!

Here are four of our favorites:

Reese Witherspoon

The blonde bombshell looked great in a two-tone Louis Vuitton strapless gown with cascading waves. Witherspoon told reporters that daughter Ava helped her make the final decision on the dress. “She’s 13, she really weighs in,” said the actress.

Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron looked white hot in a pristine peplum Dior Haute Couture ensemble, paired with a chic short hairdo and Harry Winston jewels. The actress performed a dance number during the show, and called the experience “completely nerve-wracking.” She added, “I thought I was going to have to wear one of my son’s diapers!”

Jennifer Garner

Walking the red carpet with her adorable husband Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner was a vision of poise and sophistication in a deep purple Gucci gown. Also grabbing attention – the sparkly 200 carat Neil Lane necklace around her neck. Affleck thanked Garner, as well as their three children – Violet, Seraphina and Samuel – in his acceptance speech after Argo won the top prize for Best Picture. He thanked her for “working on our marriage for 10 Christmases. It’s good … it IS work, but it’s the best kind of work … and there’s no one I’d rather work with.”

Amy Adams

The nominee for Best Supporting Actress (and mom of two-year-old Aviana) showed off her figure in a silvery, beaded Oscar de la Renta gown. Adams finished off the look with delicate jewelry and a soft updo. Love!
