Hollywood glamour reigns on Oscars red carpet

Glamour ruled on Hollywood’s biggest night, and “Slumdog Millionaire” star Freida Pinto was brilliant in a blue John Galliano gown, supporting actress winner Penelope Cruz donned a 60-year-old Balmain and best actress winner Kate Winslet dazzled in a one-shoulder number from Yves Saint Laurent.
Stars like Heidi Klum and Natalie Portman added splashes of color, but many stars including Anne Hathaway, Cruz, Taraji P. Henson and Evan Rachel Wood wore white and other light colors.

Shiny, tight and short spells “Auf” on Project Runway
The shiny brown dress never had a chance.

Still, the judges pulled no punches.
“Shiny, tight and short is the quickest way to look cheap,” judge Nina Garcia said of the dress.
