Oscar Fashion Trends 2009

Red carpet fashion was really a mind blowing on the night of Oscar Awards function. The Winner Of Best Actress Award was Kate Winslet wearing a two tone, steel blue and black, YSL dress. Her hair was back and off her face in a "modern Grace Kelly" coif.

The very close runner up was Natalie Portman in an orchid Rodarte gown. The photo doesn't do justice to the perfect fit and color that was pink without being too sweet.

Amy Adams was also looking beautiful in huge Fred Leighton necklace with her pulled back hair and sexy Carolina Herrera dress.

Beautiful Heidi Klum has been wowing all this awards season; but not last night. Her modern Roland Mouret gown was too hard and the slit too high. Her chunky jewelry (huge earrings and too many bracelets) was over done and the matchy shoes looked prom-ish.

On that night there were lot of light colored dresses as well. Anne Hathaway, who knows how to work the carpet, wore a silvery Armani Prive gown covered in little silver paillettes which fit perfectly and flattered her pale skin and dark hair.

Taraji P. Henson wore a Cavalli gown with small soft tiers of fabric. Her perfect bob and chunky necklace were looking of a great match.

Well, here's some good news: She did put some effort into her hair last night--or at least celeb stylist David Babaii did To complete the look, put on 115 carat Lorraine Schwartz emerald earrings, grab your equally stunning hubby and go!
