The 81st Oscars took place tonight and one word that summed up the night – from the set design, to the fashion – is CLASSY. It seems like the actors took heed of all the previous award show fashion critiques because most of the dresses were gorgeous and there weren’t many mishaps. The set design of the show was gorgeous – the curtain was made from 100,000 Swarovski crystals lit from behind. The band was brought on stage to evoke the big band era of the 1940’s and the way the Best Actor categories were announced brought a few tears to the eyes. That said, let’s get to the fashion! There were definitely some trends – the main one being light, neutral colors like white and beige.

Pale Perfection

Pale colors were very popular on the red carpet from Marisa Tomei’s white Versace gown to Sarah Jessica Parker’s “barely mint,” pastels were the color of the evening.
