Sure, the Oscars are a night when Hollywood come together to recognize the best performances of the year.

However, let's be honest: Some of you will be watching, at least in part, to see what the stars are wearing to the show.

Britt Aboutaleb, the managing editor of Yahoo Style, talked to ABC News about what she thinks the nominees for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress should choose for the big night - and in some cases, her picks are a bit more edgy than what those actresses have worn previously.

Meet the Lesser Known Oscar Nominees

Complete List of Oscar Nominees 2015

Best Actress Nominees Julianne Moore: For the "Still Alice" star, Aboutaleb suggested a sexy jumpsuit. "The detail here is incredible," she said. "A jumpsuit would be so cool, and if anyone could pull it off and make it black tie appropriate, it would be her."

Marion Cotillard: Cotillard, who was nominated for "Two Days, One Night," is the face of Dior and often wears the designer's clothes, so Aboutaleb went that route. She also chose a silhouette that Cotillard has previously worn. Plus, "that color would be just spectacular with her pale skin and dark brown hair," she said. "It's a perfect fit."

Felicity Jones: "I always want someone to go short and if anyone could pull it off it's Felicity," Aboutaleb said of the "Theory of Everything" star. As a result, she chose this Giambattista Valli number, from the same collection as Rihanna's show-stopping Grammys dress. "She's young and cute and she's really made a big play for the fashion world," she continued. "She looks great in clothes!"

Rosamund Pike: Aboutaleb selected an on-trend white Ulyana Sergeenko gown for the "Gone Girl" actress, who recently welcomed a baby. "She's been wearing a lot of white lately and it looks really good on her," she explained. "This one is really girly but also really sexy, and she looks amazing, so this would be really great [for her].

Reese Witherspoon: For the "Wild" star, Aboutaleb picked a dress that she hopes the actress would consider. "We all know she has this wild child inside of her and I just wish she would try something new on the red carpet," she explained. "It would be really wonderful to see her break out of the mold and try something sexy and different." To complete the look, Aboutaleb suggested her wearing a smokey eye and slicked-back hear. "I imagine she'd wear a slip under it," she added, "but I think it would be really cool. It's a really special dress."

Best Supporting Actress Nominees Patricia Arquette: Aboutaleb predicted that the "Boyhood" actress will opt for a dress with a bit more coverage, which makes this Alexis Mabille gown a perfect fit. "She looks great in jewel tones and it's going to be her big night," she said. "This dress makes such a statement: 'I'm a winner.'"

Laura Dern: For the "Wild" actress, Aboutaleb suggested a dreamy Valentino gown in the spirit of her character. "It's so so gorgeous," she said. "Laura has this ethereal quality too. She doesn't age, she looks incredible and she has that long beautiful blonde hair. There is a little bit of that fairytale quality."

Keira Knightley: Knightley is pregnant, so Aboutaleb suggested a dress with a bit more room to accommodate her growing bump. "This is regal and spectacular, but also sexy, and you probably want to feel that way when you are up for a major award," she said. "I think this crosses all those boxes." Plus, Aboutaleb added, Knightley, who loves recycling clothes, would also be able to wear this number again in a more casual setting too.

Emma Stone: Aboutaleb selected an Armani Prive look for the "Birdman" actress, who has taken a lot of fashion risks this awards season. "We've seen her in tuxedo jackets, we've seen her in ball gowns and mini dresses and jumpsuits - she plays it up!" she said. "She's so good at trying new things that it would be fun to see her in something like this."

Meryl Streep: For the "Into the Woods" star, Aboutaleb picked a dress that she knows Streep is unlikely to wear - but would be fun to see her in nevertheless. "She played a witch and there's something witchy about this, but it's fun to throw some sparkle into the mix and the feathers are really fun," she said. "It would be nice to see her go for the overall glam look more!"
