The personality of style: The Oscars 2012 red carpet

I’m a little bit miffed at Kev and Julia today. I mean really. Could they have chosen any other morning to have their little public tiff? It’s Oscars morning people and there is rarely any fun fashion coming out of Canberra. No there is not.

It’s a different story over in Hollywood today. The who’s who of movie land have frocked (and suited) up.

Now when I watch these red carpet events, I’m not about the picky picky.

I’m about celebrating those stars who are not afraid to let their personality come out in their red carpet style. I’m about celebrating those who dress to inspire, whether that’s for their body shape, their age or their quirkiness.

This year that list includes: Glenn Close, Octavia Spencer, Michelle Williams, Rooney Mara, Viola Davis, Jane Seymore, Milla Jovovich and Rose Byrne.

The hot hair trend was “old Hollywood glamour” and bright, jeweled colours stood out but white was all right on the night! Bling was in abundance but worn simply. Not fighting the frock for attention. Tiny clutches were the the bags of choice (celebs can do this because they have “people” to carry their stuff).

Here are my fave red carpet looks from the Oscars 2012. What was your pick?
