I have to admit, when I first, diligently, started watching the oscars, I didn't care about the red carpet. I would just tune in for the show, I thought a three hour show was long enough. But now my Oscar night starts at six when Ryan Seacrest is live from the red carpet.
While the fashion changes every year there is usually a trend between all the women's gowns. It could be a trend of sequins, of a train, or of the colour or they could be totally different, this is where they take a chance being labeled a "hit or miss". Must be easy for the men, throw on a suit and they're done.
Now, in my personal opinion there are always more "hits" then there are "misses". Yet no matter how many years pass everyone seems to agree that Julia Roberts' vintage Valentino dress she wore in 2001 was definitely a "hit". It reminded everyone of old Hollywood, bringing the black and white glamour to The Academy Awards.
Just because a dress is infamous it doesn't make it a "hit" and I think that was made clear with Bjork's swan dress designed by Marjan Pejoski also in 2001. To this day I still don't know what she was thinking!
I can't wait to see this years Oscar's fashion trends and what the big names will be wearing.
