It's alright, you can be real with us: nobody really cares who wins at the Oscars. Sure, we'll be talking about it next day and it does set a precedent for the rest of the winner's year, but, for the most part, the ceremony is a sober, self-impressed affair that we watch just to know who was wearing what in real time. With less shenanigans than the Globes, less spectacle than music awards shows and too many speeches that run overlong, many of us just watch the Academy Awards for a generous heaping of pretty.
Each red carpet usually does present us with some surprising sartorial choices, but that said, there usually are some ladies we've learned to enjoy and expect some stellar looks from. Someone give their stylists a raise, pronto: here are the ones to watch this coming Oscar season:
Many ladies can make colour work, but there’s one in particular who works the colour like no other: ethereal, glowing Lupita Nyong’o. Whether in pale, green Gucci numbers or in the bustling, cheery Carolina Herrera gown pictured above, something about Nyong’o enlivens each palette and colour into a living feeling of sorts: we can’t wait to see what colour she completely dominates this time.
