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
-
Heavy Metal: Our very own girls from Bollywood worked metallic on the red carpet - Aishwarya was current in bronze and Mallika toned her usual shin show down in silver. Gwyneth Paltrow and Annette Bening both went for shimmer as well, but the girl who really nailed it was Anne Hathaway
-
Colour Blocked: Amy Adams and Jennifer Hudson injected the generally staid red carpet with a shot of fearless colour. Best Supporting Actress nominee Amy chose sparkling, electric blue by L'Wren Scott and Jennifer Hudson showed off her brand new figure in tangerine Atelier Versace
-
Black, Not Magic : Cinderella went to the ball but so did her evil stepmother. We actually think Helena Bonham Carter's dress is not as jaw dropping as it could have been, but Sharon Stone and Virginia Madsen – sticking to monochrome does not guarantee a good dress
