Red Carpet Trends.

The month of January through February marks the onset of one of the most watched events in both Television and Film aptly known as Award Season. From the People’s Choice Awards to the Academy Awards; Directors, Producers, Writers, Musicians, Composers and Actors come out to honor their peers decked in the most gorgeous gowns and Tuxedos strictly for the various Awards’ Red Carpets.
Here are some of the Trends that graced the Red Carpet this Award season.

Color Blocking. Color blocking is a great way to mix and match different color palettes to pull of a great look and a lot of the fashion conscious did that. Most celebrities went with two-toned shades to add a little color to otherwise bland outfits like Angelina Jolie and Emma Stone at the Golden Globes.


 Color. Tonnes of color from jewel to blush tones ruled the Red carpet on all awards. From Paula Patton's bold yellow to Kelly Osbourne’s deep blue at the Screen Actors’ Guild Awards, celebrities showed their love for bold colors without shame and proved it is here to stay.


Sparkles. Glitter and Sparkles ruled the runways during last year’s fashion week. It is no surprise that this trend made its way from the runways to the red carpet. There is not a girl in this world who doesn’t love a little sparkle/Glitter no matter how old.


High Collar. The collar trend has changed in so many different ways lately that it is a little hard to keep up with since a lot of necklines are on fashion. The High neckline made its debut on the red carpet as the neck line of choice for celebrities like Adele to Taylor Swift making it one of the trends for the season.


High Slit. I can not get enough of the high slit on skirts and dresses and neither can the fashion savvy. Sporting a high slit is not only a fun way to show off a toned leg, it is also very prim and flirtatious.

Mermaid. So many celebrities flattered in custom made silhouettes with flaring mermaid style trends.
