2017 Oscars Red Carpet

The 89th Academy Awards ceremony was a doozy! It started off great and ended up a veritable sh*t show but I suppose you have to take the bad with the good. As for the Oscars 2017 Red Carpet, sedate is what I would call it. With just a few pops of color, the Oscars Red Carpet was awash with muted gold, silver and lots of white. There were very few ‘wow moments’ with a notable exception being Halle Berry’s hair. That, was not a good ‘wow’. Her dress was good though!

Top acting honors and top fashion honors go to Viola Davis and Emma Stone.
