Once again, it's award season! A time to honour the great thespians of our time, commend directors and producers, shower the successful with praise and admiration and ultimately... a time to love (and love to hate) the masterpieces of
Dior, Chanel, Dolce and Gabbana, Elie Saab and Vera Wang to name the least, walking the red carpet on Hollywood's night of nights.
Like myself, some would dare to claim the fashion more entertaining than the awards and the anticipation of witnessing some of Hollywood's fashion triumphs and biggest mistakes the highlight of the evening!
Trends have been owning the red carpet this season! Below of some of the nights leading ladies, proving that at any age and size, style remains a state of mind.
TREND: Colour Bomb
TREND: Colour Bomb
This season, the colour bomb trend has been taking the runway by storm with an explosion of breathtaking brights. Likewise to the autumn collections of Pucci, Valentino, Stella McCartney and Balenciaga, the 2011 red carpet has seen a revolution of the colour bomb trend, a more youthful presentation of the years finest talent.

TREND: Purple Purple Purple!
Purple was a HUGE trend at the Oscars this year seen on A-listers in shades from lavender to plum. The vastly versatile purple trend saw risk taking beauties such as Scarlett Johansson in a daring, sheer Dolce and Gabbana dress and more conservatively, a pregnant Natalie Portman glowing in a plum, off shoulder Rodarte gown proving the purple trend can be worn conservatively and femininely or audaciously daring! This season, the purple trend is definitely a must have this season in your wardrobe!

The Oscars saw a trend in choosing sleeve over strapless. The cap sleeve, proved popular this season by Michelle Williams in Chanel, Amy Adams in L'Wren Scott and Melissa Leo in Marc Bouwer brought understated elegance to the night of course, an Oscar worthy contemporary finish.
Alternatively, long sleeve worn by Celine Dion is suffering some mixed reviews (some say she dressed AS an Oscar award!) but who can judge that body only 4 months after giving birth to twins!

TREND: Red Hot Dresses
With red hot dresses comes the oozing sex appeal they possess - the red hot dress stops traffic.
Worn by Sandra Bullock (Vera Wang), Anne Hathaway (Valentino) and Penelope Cruz (L'Wren Scott), it was impossible for these starlets to stay out of the spotlight, edging out the nights other huge trend; purple.
Perfectly complemented by these brunette beauties, red dresses ruled the red carpet.
Call it a hollywood cameo to match the carpet but this season, red dresses ruled.
