Held at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre on Sunday, March 2^nd, 2014, the event this year was very special as it had some landmark moments. While the funny host Ellen DeGeneres entertained the guests with her perfect comic timing, ’12 Years a Slave’, a film featuring one of the most controversial and serious topics, won the best film. It was the first time when the work of a black director received the Hollywood’s biggest honor.

While those were the few highlights from the theatre, we were equally amazed with the spectacular red carpet arrivals. The fashion at Oscars this year was sophisticated, glamorous and completely out-of-this-world. It was a beautiful bunch of versatile styling. Colors ranged from midnight blue and pitch black to soft pastels and nude, brilliant diamonds blended with colored gemstones and show-stopping beauty looks were the highlights of the biggest Hollywood gala.
