Academy Awards 2007

One of the biggest fashion events on television each year are the Oscars. Many celebrities don couture clothing for the event. Popular designers include Zac Posen, Valentino, Armani, and more designers to come.

When stars walk down the legendary red carpet, "Who are you wearing?" is one of the most common questions. Not only do the fashions make the celebrities look great (in most cases), but couture really becomes accessible to the masses.

This year, Ellen DeGeneres will be hosting this year and has already told the press she will be changing outfits several times during the show.

Current celebs that have walked down the red carpet tonight include....




Beyoncé looks good in this ivory white dress, clearly designed in the old school style as per her movie "Dreamgirls". The pearlized accents are gorgeous and the colour really suits her. Source






Cate Blanchett looks very polished in this dress by Armani. It's tough for her to wear certain colours because of her typically pale complexion, however the dark grey and black looks stunning.

The contrast between conservative style and dazzling fabric is what makes this line aesthetically appealing. While the dress-suits are whimsical and stylish, it is the evening dresses that sweep the line up and away. Full skirts, billowing silk with metallic shine, they are elegant and chic at the same time.

The only think I disliked in the show was the emphasis on the retro hats and hairstyles. I felt they were too severe for every model to be styled in. The black dresses were stunning but seemed heavy with fabric for a spring line.
