It was described as an all-time-great-Oscar-moment fall.
The Silver Linings Playbook star was voted the best-dressed actress on Sina Weibo, with 41.5 percent votes by Wednesday, two days after the event.
In a white voluminous but "malfunctioning" Dior Haute Couture and a dainty Chopard necklace down her back, the young winner impressed Chinese audiences who described her as "a fairy princess riding on a cloud" and "she walks in beauty", borrowing from Lord Byron's poem.
Charlize Theron, also in Dior and white, but a much simpler piece, won second place mainly because of her buzz-cut hairstyle that stood out among crowds of updos and long free falls.
"Who needs hair when you have that face," as Joyce Salton once wrote about the South-African-born blonde on SheKnows.com, a popular website targeting women in the United States.
The third best-dressed actress, for Chinese audiences, was Amanda Seyfried in Alexander McQueen.
Pastel makeup, lilac organza halter gown, delicate Lorraine Schwartz earrings and textured updo were perfect as a classic red carpet look for the Les Misrables actress. It was stunning, but not surprising.
