First up, let’s hear it for Julianne Moore and Patricia Arquette who won Academy Awards last evening and a great speech made by Patricia on equal pay for women. Even though I haven’t seen their respective movies yet, I highly respect their acting abilities and these are surely deserved wins.

On the fashion front, there was a distinct lack of spectacular frocks.  It was a little bore snore.

Of the dresses that did stand out for me though, they were truly outstanding and they weren’t of the glittery, beaded persuasion. Margot Robbie looked chic in a black long sleeved Saint Laurent gown with a plunging neckline.

Red was the colour of choice for Rosamund Pike in a rosy Givenchy number with a cinched in waist.  She looked gorgeous.

Sienna Miller stunned in a black sleeveless Oscar de la Renta dress. A sleek choice.

On the male front, Eddie Redmayne was a winner on the Oscar podium for Best Actor and also looked dashingly handsome in Alexander McQueen.

And one final mention goes to Lady Gaga. She definitely makes a statement with the red gloves delivering a show stopping finish to the Azzedine Alaïa gown.
