'You look like a goddess': John Legend raves about his wife Chrissy Teigen as she stuns at the Oscars in high-slit gown (and manages to hide a nasty burn on her leg) 

Chrissy Teigen stunned in a white Zuhair Murad floor-length gown with a sky-high slit that put her famous pins on display at the 89th Academy Awards.

The 31-year-old model was joined by her dashing husband of over three years John Legend, who was dashing as always, dressed in Gucci.

'You look like a goddess,' John told his wife during an interview on E! with Ryan Seacrest.

Despite a minor injury - she documented the concealing of a burn on her leg on Snapchat - Teigen stunned in the bejeweled number on Sunday's red carpet at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.

Add that flare with a firework embellished dress like Chrissy

Chrissy Teigen exploded on the red carpet of the oscars! Literally! With a firework patterned couture gown by Zuhair Murad.

This designer is a favorite of the A-list and Chrissy's has an intricately embellished design down the front as well as a dramatic cape. Chrissy accessorized her look with barely there heels and a simple silvery box clutch.

We’re loving this super sexy ensemble on Chrissy that leaves much to the imagination but still shows off some serious leg with that slit. It's perfectly balanced. Sadly, this is couture so you can't buy this online. However check out the beautifully made clothing by the designer at Luisaviaroma with a click to the right.

The haute couture dress featured a gold embroidery and an attached cape that provided the glamorous look with even more drama.

A gold, diamond-studded belt cinched in the busty cover girl's waist, who was stlyed by Monica Rose.

The celebrity stylist has called the cat walker her 'muse.'

'It's very tight, I don't know what else to say really!' the mother-of-one said of her designer piece while speaking with Seacrest, keeping it real as usual.

She complemented the ensemble with gold barely-there heels and diamond dangling earrings that brushed her shoulders. 

The star's hair was swept back into a flattering up-do with face-framing pieces let down in the front.

For makeup, the hilarious Lip Sync Battle host opted for a natural brown smokey eye, taking it up a notch with dark, long false lashes, and adding warm rouge and a swipe of taupe lipstick.

'He won't say it, but he's nervous,' said the author of her husband's upcoming performance, 'He's very nervous. There's a bit of a piano medley happening tonight that he doesn't know if he can do.' 

Legend added: 'The truth is that i's a challenge. I usually am playing my own songs on television,but I had to learn a lot for this. I'm excited to try to pull it off tonight.' 

Ryan brought up a photo of Luna, the couple's 10-month-old daughter, sitting in her father's lap as he plays the piano.

Earlier on Sunday, Chrissy showed her Snapchat friends how her team concealed a bad burn while getting ready for the Oscars.

She documented as milk of magnesia was applied to the burn, that was placed in an unfortunate spot.

'[It's] right where my slit is on my dress!' lamented the Sports Illustrated 2014 cover girl.
