MANILA, Philippines – The Oscars – which many call Hollywood’s biggest night – always features the most stunning red carpet outfits, as stars go all out in their formal best.  

The actresses walked the red carpet in sparkling gowns in bold and pastel tones on Sunday, February 28 (Monday, February 29 in Manila) in Los Angeles. Plunging necklines, intricate detailing, and bold colors were just some of the key trends we saw on the red carpet.

Bold, deep, and dramatic, this gown makes an elegant statement, with subtle pleating a key element to the overall look. Though there are many elements – the jeweled belt, layered low neckline, and pleating in the skirt – it all comes together as a show-stopper.
