After getting ready for my at-home Oscars party, I settled in for the best part of the night – the red carpet. I loved the old Hollywood Glamour style the nominees chose for their dresses, along with a preference for icy, pale shades. The red carpet was lined with sketches of iconic Oscar dresses and the opening song and dance numbers further echoed the old Hollywood Glamour theme.

{Jennifer Lawrence was perfection in Dior Haute Couture and endearing when she tripped on the steps to accept for Best Actress }

{Best actress, best dress and the best hair/makeup/jewelry combo}

{Zoe Saldana’s gorgeous ombré dress with flower embellishments}

{Jessica Chaistain’s Armani Privé pink/gold dress complimented her red hair and defies the adage that red heads shouldn’t wear pink}

{Amy Adams frothy dress by Oscar de la Renta looked like a delicious sweet treat}

{Les Misérables original cast member Samantha Barks’ black Valentino dress was simplicity at its best}

{Stacy Keibler is consistently the best dressed date}

{Sandra Bullock’s glossy hair was perfectly embellished with a diamond hair pin}
