Every year, the Oscars provide a platform for designers to showcase their newest creations on the honored celebrities and entertainers. Sunday night was the 2011 Academy Awards show on NBC and the stars in attendance were certainly dressed to impress. The excitement was palpable as celebrities headed down the red carpet, photographers and videographers recording their every step. The obligatory question is always, “Who are you wearing”? This year’s assortments of gowns on the red carpet were outstanding and some of my favorite. Many of the dresses were bright, bold colors and were made of soft fabrics in flowing designs. My favorites were not the bright colored dresses, but the earth toned, whites, grays and blacks.
The accessories and “bling” on the red carpet is just as noteworthy. This year we saw a number of showstoppers including multiple carat diamond bracelets, gorgeous diamond drop earrings like the ones worn by Resse Witherspoon and statement diamond necklaces like the one Helen Mirren wore.

Among my favorite outfit/accessory combination’s were the below. Which celebrity style were you most impressed by? Add your comments to this post!
