One of the few ball gowns on the Oscars red carpet, Amy Adams was pretty as a princess in a powder blue Oscar de la Renta dress.  The strapless bodice and dramatic skirt looked perfect on the petite star, while her simple updo and jewels were just enough to not overpower her romantic ensemble.

Stacy Kiebler was flawless in a jaw dropping, gun metal Naeem Khan gown.  The metallic beading, belted waist and sheer back showcased her incredible figure.  The question remains though, which was Stacy’s best accessory – her Lorraine Schwartz jewels or George Clooney?

Hollywood’s biggest stars walked the glamorous red carpet in style at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards on Sunday! While bold colors and statement jewelry were huge trends for the night, most of Hollywood’s leading ladies went for a more romantic feel in soft colors and shimmering metallic gowns.

Best actress nominee, Michelle Williams, looked effortlessly chic in a simple beaded Chanel column gown. The sophisticated winter white gown was definitely Michelle’s best look for the 2011 award season!

Golden Globes 2011 Fashion Preview

Award season 2011 is officially in full swing! With the Golden Globes this Sunday, our favorite celebrities will surely be dressed to impress. If they take their cues from the Spring/Summer 2011 fashion runways, Hollywood’s leading ladies will be parading down the red carpet in bold colors, flowing goddess gowns and dresses with retro flair. Will Natalie Portman show off her baby bump? Will Angelina Jolie opt for color over basic black? With so many things uncertain, rest assured that you’ll definitely see the following trends on the Golden Globes red carpet!

Red Carpet Trend #1- Goddess Gowns

The goddess gown is the epitome of red carpet elegance. This Sunday, expect to see ethereal dresses, flowing with long romantic skirts and lots of beautiful ruching. Delicate draping from head to toe will add drama to these gorgeous gowns. Sexy deep V necklines and lovely asymmetrical pieces will also be popular. This magnificent gown would look exquisite on modern day goddess and best actress nominee, Halle Berry.

Ferragamo Goddess Gown

Red Carpet Trend #2– Fun Flair

Romantic details like rosettes and ruffles have been a classic red carpet accent for some time, but 2011 is taking things to a new, bohemian level. Boho chic fringe and feathers came down the fashion runways on everything from blouses to dresses. Part hippie, part flapper, these fun accents will definitely liven the mood at this Sunday’s Golden Globes. If best actress nominee, Natalie Portman’s, tiered ruffled dress at the People’s Choice Awards was a precursor to her 2011 red carpet style, fun and flirty flair will be the perfect complement to her baby bump!

Red Carpet Trend #3 – Winter White

There is nothing more sophisticated than a crisp white dress. Soft ivory, cream, and white styles came down the Spring runways, bringing a natural light to the room. For the red carpet, expect our favorite stars to shine in winter white goddess gowns with sexy necklines and princess like dresses with full skirts. Dainty details, ruching, and jeweled adornments will add something special to these delicate looks. Best actress nominee, Anne Hathaway, would look angelic in this white ensemble with dazzling embellishments.

Dior White Gown

Red Carpet Trend #4– Bold Color

Springtime always brings a fresh new batch of color to the fashion scene. For 2011, the bright, bold colors are reminiscent of world travel and luxurious gemstones. From aqua blue and coral, to emerald green, turquoise, and ruby red, these hot shades will surely command attention at the Golden Globes this Sunday! As stunning as best actress nominee, Angelina Jolie, looks in basic black, wouldn’t it be refreshing to see her in a pop of color? Whether she opts for a brilliant body conscious gown or to add a hint of color with sparkly jewels, a burst of bold color would be a great change of pace for the seductive star.
