Oscar 2011: Fashion Trends
Straight from our Style Files, we bring to you fashion trends on the Oscar red carpet this year. Who copied who?

Red Hot: Fire engine red was the colour code of the evening with host Anne Hathaway leading the way in Valentino. Best Actress nominee Jennifer Lawrence was simple yet stunning, last year's winner Sandra Bullock looked good enough to be given away as the prize instead of the Golden Man, and new mommy Penelope Cruz showed off her post baby curves in sequinned L'Wren Scott
