The awards are just one, sometimes irrelevant, part of the Academy Awards. Its 'what' and 'who' the stars are wearing that can create the most water-cooler moments.The 2007 Oscars have not disappointed in the fashion stakes, with many of Hollywood's biggest stars stepping out in bold colors, styles and sparkles on the red carpet.
In what is the biggest fashion event of the year, beating the seasonal couture shows around the world, stars such as Cate Blanchett, Penelope Cruz and Jennifer Lopez have dressed dramatically and artistically, putting their designer-clad feet in the right direction.
Nominee Blanchett says her preparation for the awards, her third nomination, was simple.
Wearing a metallic Georgio Armani Prive gown, she said, "It was so simple choosing the dress. I saw the show in Paris and I saw the dress. It was painless."
Best Actress contender Cruz also hit the high fashion states in an extravagant strapless gown with elaborate skirt.
Of her peach tone Versace dress, the "Volver" star said, "I tried on 15 to 20 dresses but I thought this was it. It's the only dress you can wear at the Oscars."
Looks favored by stars this year included detailed necklines, sported by Oscar favorite Helen Mirren and Beyonce Knowles, and over-sized bows, seen on Nicole Kidman and Anne Hathaway.
Fashion critic, Tom Julian, of Oscar.com, said, "This is the year of extravagant designs - fancy fabrics, feathers as trim, unexpected stones and metallics."
Early front runners in the best dress category are Reese Witherspoon in a strapless deep purple gown, Gwyneth Paltrow in Zac Polsen and Nicole Kidman....Source: All Headline News
