Colourful brights, whites and shimmering tones rule on Oscars red carpet
There were some very striking looks at this year’s Oscars, with plenty of primary colours and metallic shades.
Bold shades, bright whites and dazzling metallics were the order of the day as stars arrived on the red carpet at the 90th Academy Awards.
The multi-coloured swathe of gowns at the awards ceremony marked a change from the Golden Globes and the Bafta Film Awards, which saw stars wearing black in solidarity with anti-sexual harassment campaigns #MeToo and Time’s Up.
Leading the pack in the style stakes were Oscar nominees Margot Robbie, Saoirse Ronan and Sally Hawkins, each sporting very different gowns at the prestigious event.
The best actress nominee’s gown was cut in a strapless style with a draped, glittering sash across the front and shoulders.
Supporting actress nominees Allison Janney and Mary J Blige were among the most stylish on the red carpet.
Another metallic look was worn by Lupita Nyong’o, who glimmered in gold, and Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot, whose silver sequinned dress was designed in a 1920s flapper style.
Viola Davis sported perhaps the brightest dress of the day, a fluorescent pink dress with a matching clutch bag.
Salma Hayek and Ashley Judd went for power purple dresses, while Whoopi Goldberg – clad in a turquoise, yellow and purple floral-printed gown – wore one of the few multi-coloured dresses.
There was plenty of white at the ceremony, with best actor nominee Timothee Chalamet looking striking in a white tuxedo, and Laura Dern in a figure-hugging dress with an oversized detail on the shoulder.
Jordan Peele, who is nominated for best director for Get Out, rocked a crisp white suit and black bow tie.
