Midnight blues and blacks make a dark and sultry palette for Elie Saab's autumn/winter 2013 tailoring.
Oscars 2013 beauty highlights
From Jessica Chastain and her signature red lipstick to Jennifer
Lawrence and her pretty up-do, find out which Hollywood stars made waves
with their beauty looks at the 2013 Oscars.
Anne Hathaway
continues to think pink, and ditches her
signature red lipstick, for a, we think, far more flattering look on her
pale rose complexion. Matched with her softer blow-out too, it just
works.
Ten out of tan on the richter scale,
Heidi Klum
hasn't even noticed it's February, or for that matter that it's 2013.
Charlize Theron
takes her Mad Max hair hangover and softens it
with her failsafe girly ethereal sheeny, glowing make-up and gently
lined eye.
Taking the Oscar for Best Actress,
Jennifer Lawrence
has indeed found her beauty footing on the red
carpet. Putting her best foot forward again, Lawrence worked her barely
there base, balmy lips and grey blue eyes (with the help of a few extra
lashes) and that super pretty up-do beautifully.
Someone's been playing with colour.
Kirsten Stewart
mixes one too many shades with dolly cheeks,
candy pink lips and a warm brown eye for her new rainbow red carpet
look. A crazed and confused make-up look.
Yes we've seen her with this look before, but
Jessica Chastain
knows that a bit of old fashioned glamour in the
form of her favourite side swept hair and red lipstick is the recipe
for red carpet success. Shame she hasn't mastered the false lash effect
quite so well.
Taking it back to the old school with her hair maybe, we still like the stonger brow and more gutsy, plum toned, lipstick on
Nicole Kidman
.
A curl happy tong does not the modern hair-do make. But we'll give it to
Reese Witherspoon
for attempting to take on this year's red carpet
favourite 1940's do. Just a little less effort next time.
Renée Zellweger
asked her make-up artist for an "easy glamour
look." So using Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser in Nude and Bronzing
Powder in Matte Bronze, with a little Matte Eye Colour in Truffle and
Eye Liner in Noir, Kristofer Buckle created this "sexy, pretty and fresh
look." Shame Laura Mercier doesn't do hairspray really.

Oscars 2013: What should they wear?
We match the nominees and guests expected at this year's Oscars with the gowns that will guarantee to turn heads.
Quvenzhané Wallis in Elie Saab Couture
Anne Hathaway in Badgley Mischka
Anne Hathaway is a fan of the minimalist gown on the red carpet, but has also been seen modelling floral motifs, of late. This Badgley Mischka gown comprises both her favoured sleek silhouette and gives a nod to her current flirtation for pattern.
Jennifer Lawrence in Dior Couture
It's practically unquestionable that Jennifer Lawrence, who has just starred in her first Miss Dior campaign, will wear a gown designed by Raf Simons. We think she'll celebrate her newly photographed role as Dior ambassador with a structured gown to accentuate her tiny waist. (And one with no nude panels, of course).
This chic and simple
Elie Saab
gown would add just the right amount of age-appropriate glamour to 9-year-old
Quvenzhané Wallis,
and
would sit well against her signature bright canine handbag.
Amy Adams in Marchesa
Muted palettes seem to suit nominee for Best Actress in a Supporting Role, Amy Adams . This ethereal number would see the starlet take a more pale and interesting turn down the red carpet. And as she's in favour with the fashion house (Adams wore Marchesa to the Globes) she should have no problem securing the gown over other wishful guests.

Emmanuelle Riva in Chanel Couture
At 85 , Emmanuelle Riva is the oldest actress to ever be nominated for Best Actress at the Academy Awards. This simple Chanel gown, with fun floral detailing, is the perfect cover-up for such a lady.

Naomi Watts in Oscar de la Renta
Naomi Watts tends to veer on the halter-neck or strapless side of the dress camp, but with milky white skin to show off this V-neck Oscar de la Renta gown would see the actress give a new flirty flourish to her red carpet fashion career.

After the ill-fitting Calvin Klein dress that caused Jessica Chastain a (literal) boob at the Golden Globes, this Marchesa gown is the perfect tonic for her curvaceous figure.

Oscars 2013: Anne Hathaway’s nipples make a bid for stardom
Poor Anne Hathaway, she's not been served well by fashion of late. Having just about lived down
that
lady garden flashing incident, courtesy of an
underwear-unfriendly Tom Ford dress, we're pretty sure she was keen to
avoid anything similar happening at the Oscars.
Anne Hathaway's seemingly pointy nipples attracted a lot of attention

Golden Globes 2013: The thigh-high split makes a red carpet
Angelina Jolie may have been a no-show at last night's Golden Globes,
but her infamously precocious leg certainly wasn't. We look at who did
it right, and who did it wrong.
The ones who did it wrong…
If this were an 'Angie's Leg' barometer, Halle would be sub-zero. She's already topping the worst-dressed lists, so we don't want to kick her while she's down, but… we're going to. There were many things wrong with this Versace number - a muffin top-making cut out, garish print and bulging one-shoulder fit and not even a hint of classicism - and, quite simply, the thigh-high split was the straw that broke Berry's sartorial back. Add to that her willingness to 'feel the breeze' (i.e. her exaggerated pose) and it's a big no-no.
