I'm so annoyed with myself for not watching the red carpet coverage of The Oscars last night live on E! so I'm watching it now whilst blogging. I love doing these red carpet review posts; I get to look at all the stunning dresses and pick out my favourites! Last night, there were a few trends that I spotted when going through the pictures so here they are!

1. Olivia Wilde in Valentino
2. Charlize Theron in Dior
3. Anna Kendrick in J.Mendel |
First up, black was a trend that was seen on quite a few dresses. Olivia, Charlize and Anna went for plain black material here. Olivia, showing off her baby bump in Valentinio, is glowing in this high neck gown. As much as I love black, I feel that this dress is a bit drab on her. I know she has to dress the bump too but she could've chosen something else. I like the strip of white at the back though! Next up is Charlize; she looks stunning in her Dior dress. I love the cleavage-bearing front of the dress; it's showing enough skin without showing too much. I also love the clear straps although that does remind me of my old dance costumes! Finally is Anna; now many folk do not like this dress at all. The J.Mendel number, I really like! I like the bodice of tulle which is really eye-catching and then it leads into this mesh pattern waist. The only issue I have is that the split at the front is a really odd length.

1. Emma Watson in Vera Wang
2. Julia Roberts in Givenchy
3. Anne Hathaway in Gucci
4. Margot Robbie in Saint Laurent |
More black right now. Now this was Emma Watson's first time to the Oscars and boy does she look amazing! This semi-sheer number is full of shimmer and it fits her body perfectly! I like how it catches the light too. Next is Julia Roberts; this Givenchy gown is so understated that it stands out to me! I love the lace and peplum but the best thing about this dress is that it would work if it was cut off at the knee as a cocktail dress! Next is Anne Hathaway in this Gucci halterneck dress; I love the jewelled front and waist detail and the slit up the back. I like how she's kept it low key and simple but oh so beautiful. Last is Margot Robbie. The usual blonde has died her locks to a dark brown and she looks stunning! I love the gothic make-up look she's gone for, I'm obsessed with the plum lip! However, I'm more obsessed with the dress! I love the sequinned bodice and that bow at the back, wow!

1. Jennifer Lawrence in Dior
2. Sandra Bullock in Alexander McQueen
3. Louise Roe in Pronovias
4. Olga Kurylenko in Alice Elia
5. Amy Adams in Gucci
6. Bette Midler in Reem Acra |
I love that jewel tones were a force to be reckoned with. As much as I love black, a red carpet needs colour other than the carpet itself! First up is J.Law, everybody's favourite woman, in this orange Dior gown. For once, I'm not massively impressed! Maybe it's because I hate orange but I just wish she'd have worn something a bit more wow; she was nominated after all! Sandra Bullock, here in Alexander McQueen, looks gorgeous in this midnight blue dress. I love the detail at the waist and the dress fits her amazingly! Next up is Louise Roe in this Pronovias Grecian gown. I love the colour and it goes so well with her skintone and hair colour. I love the lace sleeve too! Olga Kurylenko stunned in this Alice Elia eco-dress showing that fashion can be sustainable and good for the environment! The pinky-red colour again matches her skintone! Amy Adams in Gucci looks stunning yet oh so simple. This blue colour is one of my favourites too. I was glad she did something less cleavage-bearing because she's done that a lot this red carpet season. Finally is Bette Midler in Reem Acra. Now she is an absolute ledgend and this dress looks amazing on her! It hugs her curves perfectly!

1. Lupita Nyong'o in Prada
2. Penelope Cruz in Giambattista Valli Couture
3. Lady Gaga in Versace
4. Kerry Washington in Jason Wu
5. Camilla Alves in Gabriela Cadena
6. Jada Pinkett Smith in Versace |
Pastels are a strong trend for spring/summer 2014 so I'm glad some of the celebrities opted for them! First up is the woman of the moment, Lupita. She has had an amazing red carpet season, both in terms of fashion and awards, and she does not disappoint in this baby blue number! I love how she's gone for showing off a bit of cleavage and I love the headband! Penelope Cruz stunned in this one-shouldered gown. I like how it sits on the shoulder and I like that the black belt breaks up the dress because there is a lot of material here! Next up is Lady Gage who for once has nailed it in a dress! Usually I'm not a massive fan of her red carpet looks (she's a bit too OTT for me) but here she looks amazing! It looks like it's a lilac colour and I love how it hugs her body! Next is Kerry Washington who is one of my red carpet faves. Here, in Jason Wu, she looks so elegant. I love the purpley grey colour and the column dress is perfect for a baby bump! Camilla Alves in Gabriela Cadena is beautiful. There's a lot of material again here but because she's so modelesque, it doesn't overwhelm her. Finally is Jada Pinkett Smith in Versace and I love this dress! I love the colour and the neckline.

1. Kristen Bell in Roberto Cavalli
2. Kelly Osbourne in Badgley Mischka
3. Naomi Watts in Calvin Klein
4. Kristin Cavallari in Alexander McQueen |
Normally I hate white but it really suits some people, plus it's bang on-trend. First up is Kristen Bell in this gorgeous Roberto Cavalli dress; I like how she always keeps it simple and this dress is perfect for her. Next is Kelly Osbourne in this white gown. I love the beaded overlay too and how she's accessoriesed with an umbrella! Naomi Watts is someone I love seeing on the red carpet; she just knows what suits her. Here in a white Calvin Klein column dress, the look is simple yet so beautiful and elegant. Finally is Kristin Cavallari. Now what she is doing at the Oscars, I have no idea but she looks stunning in this Alexander McQueen number! I love the sleeve details too, this is how you style a baby bump!

1. Maria Menounos in Johanna Johnson
2. Kate Hudson in Atelier Versace
3. Jennifer Garner in Oscar de la Renta
4. Jennifer Biel in Chanel Haute Couture |
Sparkles and metallics are always on the red carpet which is probably what I would wear if I went on a red carpet! First is Maria in Johanna Johnson; I love how simple and elegant this dress is and I love how it fits her body. Next is Kate Hudson in one of my favourite looks of the night. This dress is a showstopper; it still would be without the draped back detail but with it, it makes the look spectactular. I love the plunging neckline too! Next is Jennifer Garner in this sparkly column dress by Oscar de la Renta. I like how she kept it low-key with the accessories to let the dress take centre stage. In a similar number, Jessica Biel looks equally as beautiful in Chanel. It has a pattern to the sequins which keeps it from looking drab too.
So there you have it. My best dressed were Emma Watson, Margot Robbie, Kate Hudson, Lupita Nyong'o and Naomi Watts but I thought most people looked incredible!
