Glamour at the Oscars
It’s that time of the year again…when dozens of the slim gold man are handed out. While everyone was eager to see how many awards Slumdog would sweep, whether Winslet go another year without an Oscar and the fight between Rourke and Penn, I was more excited about what the stars would be parading down the red carpet in. Okay, maybe I was looking forward to the other things too…
Here are some trends from the show:
One-Shouldered Wonders
Probably one of the more prominent trends of the night, these asymmetrical pieces came in a variety of styles and colours.
Guiliana Rancic in Pamela Roland
Kate Winslet in Yves Saint Laurent
Marisa Tomei in Versace
Queen Latifah in Georges Chakra
Freida Pinto in John Galliano
Floral Inspired Elegance
Most of these gowns incorporated elements of flowers such as petals from the waist down taking elegance to another level.
Miley Cyrus in Zuhair Murad
Taraji P. Henson in Roberto Cavalli
Maria Menounos in Randi Rahm
The Power of Red
You would think that stars in red gowns would blend in with the carpet but these women popped in the variations of sharp red gowns.
Amy Adams in Carolina Herrera
Amanda Seyfried in Valentino
Heidi Klum in RM by Roland Mouret
Virginia Madsen in Kevan Hall
Subtle Glamour of Creams and Nudes
These gowns in light shades of cream brought some chic-ness to the red carpet.
Anne Hathaway in Armani Prive
Evan Rachel Wood in Elie Saab
Nicole Kidman in L'Wren Scott
Penelope Cruz in Vintage Balmain
Jessica Biel in Prada
Return of the Fish Tail
We saw this silhouette dominate at the Golden Globes earlier this year so it’s no surprise that it’s appeared again. Tight fitted bodices and a free-flowing bottom definitely flatter a woman’s figure!
Beyonce in House of Dereon
Halle Berry in Marchesa
Vanessa Hudgens in Marchesa
Melissa George in Dolce & Gabbana
Fairy-tale Ending
These stars prommed it out like they were Cinderella looking for their Prince…in their own way of course!
Marion Cotillard in Christian Dior
Miley Cyrus in Zuhair Murad
Penelope Cruz in Vintage Balmain
Sarah Jessica Parker in Christian Dior Couture
Sculptural Pieces
These gowns seemed like they were made from origami, giving the stars a very modern look.
Heidi Klum in RM by Roland Mouret
Jessica Biel in Prada
Marisa Tomei in Versace
Jewel-Toned Beauty
Paillettes, sequins and crystals let these stars shimmer in their gowns.
Anne Hathaway in Armani Prive
Jennifer Anniston in Valentino
Leslie Mann in Pamella Roland
Tina Fey in Zac Posen
Pretty in Pink
These stars brought some fresh shades to the red carpet and it paid off!
Natalie Portman in Rodarte
Lisa Rinna in Gustavo Cadile
Alicia Keys in Armani Prive
Bringing on the Belt
Sitting high at the waist, these stars accented their gowns with belts giving them an edgier look.
Sarah Jessica Parker in Christian Dior Couture
Marion Cotillard in Christian Dior
Miley Cyrus in Zuhair Murad
Statement Jewellery
Aside from the gowns, the jewellery on the red carpet this year were very much in tune with the trends on the runway. Big, chunky, colourful, statement making jewellery is what everyone was trying to pull off.

Many of the dresses were very nice but when the stars wore them, they looked slightly disastrous!
My favourite was Taraji P. Henson’s. I also like the necklace she wore!
Jessica Biehl really could have made a better choice. And SJP’s dress was a bit too small up top for her!
Oh and I also learnt something about Ann Hathaway’s dress. On Channel E they zoomed in and it turns out that the texture of her dress looked a bit like “Fish scales”. Apparently those are called paillettes.
Thanks, Jay Manuel!

The red carpet, the real glam of the Oscars, when actors, actresses alike are distinctive and expressive of their own style of couture. Several trends were prominent as SS stated; one shoulder gowns, of which I found Kate Winslet’s and Freida Pinto’s classical and accomplished. The black gold combination stood out amongst others, Beyonce’s bold and omnipotent thus making Halle Berry’s a perfect statement. Of the fairy tale princesses, Penelope Cruz’s vintage princess stole the show. Finally the glitzy shimmers and sequences — Anne Hathaway’s was overall powerful in its glitter as was Jennifer Aniston’s sufficiently radiant. Much of the jewellery and accessories were solid pieces, antique in look with a matt finish.
