\nGleaming white teeth, plunging necklines and eye-catching jewelry have become the calling card of the red carpet and this year is no exception.<\/p>\n
The breakout colour, perhaps inspired by the much-coveted statue, is a golden yellow. Michelle Williams, Nicole Kidman, Jessica Alba and Bahar Soomekh, just to name a few, all chose to leave their little black dress at home.<\/p>\n
Since most men toe the line with the traditional penguin suit, all eyes are on Hollywood’s better halves – the leading ladies.<\/p>\n
The pressure is two-fold; starlets want to stand out from the pack but originality is a fine line that is often rewarded with a place on the worst dressed list.<\/p>\n
Keira Knightley, who recently described the Oscars as Hollywood’s dog show and herself as “Britain’s prize poodle,” could easily win best in show with her one-strap burgundy Vera Wang gown and her sparkling vintage Bulgari necklace.<\/p>\n
“I can’t actually walk, but I can stand rather well,” Knightley said of her figure-skimming frock.<\/p>\n
Amy Adams, up for best supporting actress for her role in “Junebug,” looked fabulous in a brown silky form-fitting dress topped with large dangling earrings.<\/p>\n
Oscar presenter Jessica Alba looked ravishing in a glittering gold Versace gown and oval diamond earrings.<\/p>\n
Pregnant starlet Rachel Weisz opted for a more conservative look with a simple off-the-shoulder black dress and a neckline that actually left room for the imagination.<\/p>\n
Salma Hayek looked great as always with her hair down, in an electric blue halter-style Versace gown.<\/p>\n
Hollywood’s men, for their part, appeared not to understand the fashion fuss. When eTalk Daily’s co-host Ben Mulroney asked George Clooney who he was wearing he replied, “I don’t know, I just grabbed the same tux I’ve been wearing forever”.<\/p>\n
Tim Burton took a little bit more effort, with a red shirt, a black and white tie and large purple sunglasses. Unfortunately, he didn’t take as much effort with his hair, which looked like he just escaped from a wind storm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
