The 79th annual Oscars took place on Sunday, and the
biggest night in showbiz didn't disappoint: the red
carpet was rolled out, the champagne flowed, and the
stars of the big screen were out in force...
Director Martin Scorcese and his thriller The Departed
took home the biggest awards, while the night was also
a triumph for our very own Helen Mirren, who took Best
Actress for her role in The Queen.
But who deserved the Best Dressed gong? We take a look
at the stars' fashion hits and misses. Who got it spot
on and who should sack their stylist?
With warmer weather on the way (yay!)
time to read up on all the latest
trends in the world of fashion for
spring.
We bring you all the essential looks
for the new season: ultra-short hems,
Seventies prints, flashy colours and
silver clothes and accessories. And
let's not get too carried away with
thoughts of sunny days - you'll still
need a trusty trench or an overcoat
to keep you snug.
Summery and sexy...when you start
thinking spring make-up, pink is the
new black.
Fruity shades are starting to take
over from the bright reds of autumn
and winter, so get in the mood for
spring with the right shade to suit
you: naughty or angelic, pastel or
shocking, but always girly and feminine.
