Next to which movie will win Best Picture, the biggest question going into Oscar night was “what will they wear?”
While there wasn’t a ton of “wow” moments on the red carpet last night, two of the clear trends were gowns in ethereal shades of pale or “va-va-voom” reds.
• Best Supporting Actress nominee Taraji P. Henson looked chic in a tightly layered white Roberto Cavalli gown and unfussy bob, while Anne Hathaway, also a nominee, appeared in her typical old Hollywood-style in an Armani Prive jewel-encrusted white gown.
• Who knows if “Wrestler” actresses Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood discussed their gown choices, but they both chose white. It was a slightly odd choice for Wood, who looks like she hasn’t seen the sun since Tomei won her only Oscar in 1993.
• The other big trend was red, red, red, as seen on Heidi Klum, whose fashion-forward structured gown was reminiscent of origami. Virginia Madsen, Phoebe Cates and “Mamma Mia!” cutie Amanda Seyfried also dazzled in show-stopping red.• The award for red-gone-awry went to Amy Adams, whose Carolina Herrera gown was nice enough but a tad too busy with its black piping along the bodice and heavy Fred Leighton necklace.
Of course, there were a few who strayed from the red and white pack, namely Freida Pinto in a disappointing blue John Galliano one-shouldered lacy number, and Kate Winslet in an uninspiring black and gray gown.
