The most important Red Carpet Event of the year happened last night. Yes, the Oscars, where stars win, lose and dress up in some of fashion’s most coveted garments. Who wore what and how many men wore something other than a black tuxedo? Let’s take a look, and discover the winners and losers of the Oscars’ Red Carpet.
Asymmetrical
Asymmetrical Gowns were quite popular and seen in many forms on the runway this season.

Jennifer Hudson’s bright red ensemble featured one sleeve and a sash made up of ruffles, and Sza’s gown featured an uneven hem and neckline. Shangela’s gown was an absolute showstopper, with an uneven neckline and gold beading.

Queen Latifah wore a fitted, sequined number, and Tessa Thompson’s black dress featured, ruffles, ruching, and a well-placed golden trim.
