Awards Season

The carpet wasn't the only thing that was red tonight. Some of our favorite actresses — and nominees — arrived at the Academy Awards in the eye-catching hue. Both Sally Field and Jennifer Aniston reached for Valentino dresses; Field opted for a long-sleeved number with semisheer panels, while Aniston decided on a timeless princess-gown silhouette. Not to be outdone, Olivia Munn and Marcia Gay Harden went for body-con gowns, also in the standout color. One thing's for sure: these ladies certainly painted Hollywood's biggest night red.

Even though award season is close to over, celebrities haven't lost their stamina quite yet. On the East and West Coasts, a bevy of leading ladies stepped out for the Writers Guild Awards, and their array of beauty looks reminded us why we love red-carpet beauty oh-so much. Flip through to see the top looks from the show.

If it wasn't all-over sequins or bold color that caught our eye on last night's afterparty attendees, it was the sultry sheer detailing that drew us in. With subtle sex appeal, sheer fabrications left just a little to the imagination on necklines and hemlines alike. While the feel from Kate Bosworth's Prabal Gurung confection, Zoe Saldana's Marios Schwab, and Ginnifer Goodwin's Peter Som gowns are on the moodier, edgier side of the sartorial spectrum, the feel is a touch softer and ethereal in white, and all-out sexy in red finishes. In each case, sheer details play up the drama of the dress with see-through illusion that's eye-catching without going over the top. Just click through to see how our favorite style setters showed off the red-carpet trend last night.
