Red Carpet Fashion

at the Oscar Parties 2011



Besides for just the Oscars, there were many pre-parties and after parties held in Hollywood to celebrate the illustrious awards show. These are some of the dresses and colour trends worn by rising stars and silver screen sirens alike.



Blue

Kim Kardashian looks lovely in a strapless and fitted dark navy gown by J Mendel. Lea Michele glitters in blue sequins in this 70's inspired high-neck, long-sleeved dress by Roberto Cavalli.

I'm not too sure about the choice of sandals, which are by Sergio Rossi. Emma Robert's grey chiffon sequined gown is by Jenny Packham with clutch by Kelly Locke. Model and actress Brooklyn Decker looks beautiful in this romantic ruffle gown by Joy Cioci. I'm not so fond of Heidi Klum's mirrored dress by Julien Macdonald.
