Oscar Trends 2008

Oscar coverage is just about done, so I thought it would be a good time for a quick recap of all the trends on the red carpet that we saw on Sunday.

Hot colors of the evening: Red and black. I would say a good fifty percent of all the dresses we saw on the big night were either fire engine red or basic black. If you want to take the LBD to a whole new level like Penelope Cruz, Kristen tells us how we can wear this look at home. And if you are a fan of the bold and daring red, Kristen comes to the rescue again, to help us get Anne Hathaway's look.

Hot hairstyle of the evening: A laid back ponytail was the hairdo of choice for lots of the ladies on Sunday. Cameron Diaz, Anne Hathaway and several others all went for a full ponytail, leaving wavy wisps out to frame their faces, while Penelope Cruz and Cate Blanchett chose to use the half ponytail look. Either way, the trend was clearly casual hair. The harshest , tightest up-do of the night was Heidi Klum, but she gets a pass on that because her dress was so amazing!

Hot cut of the evening: The cut for dresses this year was clearly the one shoulder. From Katherine Heigl, to Hilary Swank, to Anne Hathaway (yes, she pretty much covered every trend with her outfit), the asymmetrical silhouette was a big hit with the A-listers.

Hot disease of the evening: Anorexia. Why do so many celebs look like they haven't eaten in days? Jennifer Garner was smaller than ever, Hilary Swank is like the incredible shrinking woman, Renee Zellweger is on the verge of disappearing into thin air. Keri Russell lost all her baby and then some...and then some more. Even pregnant Nicole Kidman looked pretty skinny for someone who's a few months along. These beautiful women need to realize that food is their friend!!!
