Oscars 2017: Five Winning Looks From The Red Carpet


The 89th Academy Awards is happening now, and the red carpet looks before the show did not disappoint. Every year, celebrities who take to the red carpet before the show give us a chance to see the nominees and guests not for their talents on screen or behind the camera, but for their talent at dressing and setting trends.

This year, the trend seemed to be glam and gold. Many celebrities wore gowns that were gold or had gold accents. Textured fabric or patterns ensured that each dress’s style was very different from the next. They were definitely a new twist on old glam. Here are five accomplished women certainly made statements with their incredible red carpet looks.
