As always, there were some major trends that rocked multiple red carpets this year. Silver metallic dresses with defined waists had their moment at the Golden Globes – Julianne Moore rocked dark plumage at the bottom of her dress, while Reese Witherspoon and Diane Kruger kept the silhouette and texture simple. The color green was taken to the next level by Emma Stone at the Oscars when she stunned in a chartreuse Elie Saab beaded gown.
An ever-popular choice on the red carpet is the simple single-colored gown with a twist of interest by way of a luxurious texture. Rosamund Pike stunned in a solid red Givenchy at the Oscars, but the lace texture and satin insets at the waist elevated the look to best-dressed lists everywhere. Crimson was prevalent throughout the season.
Some attendees decided to take major risks this season, which set them apart from the crowd. Both Lorde and Emma Stone wore black pants to the Golden Globes, with Stone really stepping up her look with a jewel-encrusted Lanvin strapless top and black sash. Lupita Nyong’o hit the Oscars in a pearl-covered Calvin Klein dress. Of course, Lady Gaga showed up in a glimmering white Alaia dress, but it was her bright red leather gloves that really drew attention.
The leading ladies wore lots of different styles this year and really went for the unexpected, but one thing was constant amongst all of the attendees: They all looked fabulous and were there because of their many accomplishments over the past year and throughout their careers.
