Awards Season Fashion Predictions

It's that time of year again. Awards Season. Pretty soon all we will be bothered about is who wore what, and where. So here are my 2 hot picks for fashion this awards season...
Colour
Colours are a massive fashion trend this season and awards ceremony fashion is no exception. Celebrities such as Kate Hudson, Gwyneth Paltrow and Katie Holmes are famed for wearing vibrant colours on the red carpet and all getting away with it. Well, most of the time. Colour was a major theme in Gucci and Sonia Rykiel's SS11 collection, shown in Satin and Silk on a bias cut, so expect to see some celebrities going for something a little different on the red carpet at some of the more relaxed ceremonies such as; the Emmy's, Comedy Awards and the Brits.

Marchesa SS11

Nude Hues
Nude Hues are a favourite for many A-List stars such as; Penelope Cruz, Jennifer Lopez and Taylor Swift. Marchesa and Chloe are famous for ethereal, grecian inspired dresses that show the empire line and lots of sparkle - perfect for ceremonies like the Grammys and BAFTAs.

Traditional Glamour
There will always be a place for traditional awards season gowns. Dolce and Gabbana, Versace and Oscar de la Renta are the designers that are the most successful at continuously producing exquisite gowns for Cameron Diaz and Demi Moore and are most likely to be worn at high Profile Events like the Oscars (or the 'Academy Awards' as they're known in the 'biz).
