The Oscars 2010 Fashion Trends: Romantic Ruled!
Well, there’s one thing you can be sure of: the A-list loved a frothy, ruffled,frilly, strapless, romantic-inspired dress at the Oscars 2010. That or classic Hollywood glamour seemed to be the order of the day, bar one or two curveballs (but nothing too disastrous).
Romantic was the overriding trend with waterfall ruffles, frills, trains and acres of blush, nude and powder-puff pink filling up the red carpet. Jennifer Lopez and Amanda Seyfried looked beautiful in Giorgio Armani Privé, Miley Cyrus wore Jenny Packham, Demi Moore poured herself into Atelier Versace waterfall ruffles and the hot contender for dress of the night was Zoe Saldana in the most beautiful Givenchy Couture dress we’ve ever seen. Sarah Jessica Parker’s Chanel Couture sheath also deserves a special mention for classic goddess beauty and being the only lemon frock there.
Golden age of Hollywood glamour also made an appearance in the form of Kate Winslet’s silver YSL ensemble, Sandra Bullock in beaded Marchesa and Charlize Theron in two-tone pink Christian Dior (two trends in one Charlize, well done). And it wouldn’t be Oscar night without a smattering of jewels, beading and embellishment, with Carey Mulligan in black jewelled Prada (we're not sure about the long/short hem – it's like she almost heeded Anna Wintour's advice to go short but wanted to cover all bases), Cameron Diaz in golden Oscar de la Renta and Nicole Richie in vintage-inspired Reem Acra. All in all, a pretty stylish night. ZA
