The Oscar's Style Alert - Strapless Gowns!

At this year's Academy Awards ceremony, not only were reddish gowns a immense hit amongst the style prima donnas in the industry, but strapless gowns were also a must! If you're preparing for a fancy event, happen out how you too can look gorgeous like Jessica Alba, Cameron Diaz, and Renee Zellweger!

Tip: Nix the necklace! The tendency for 2008 is to pair off a strapless gown with...nothing! Most of these style Queens opted for a bare neck, while wearing simple earrings, rings, and bracelets.

Sweet Honey star Jessica Alba looked absolutely aglow in her Marchesa gown, and it wasn't just because she is expecting! The plum-hued gown matched perfectly with Alba's skin color and she looked like she truly was floating down the aisle. Her accoutrements featured a yellow-gold colour brace of diamond earrings, with matching layered bangles.

Tip: Yellow-gold jewelry looks absolutely fantastic with gowns of a richer tone, such as as plum, navy, or dark green.

There certainly is something about Cameron Diaz. Her light-blush colored Christian Dior by Toilet Galliano gown also matched perfectly with her skin-tone, piece the strapless neckline perfectly demonstrated her always-sculpted physique. Again Dias chose to nothing the necklace while sporting a cocktail ring and simple, diamond earrings.

Tip: If your braids are not cooperating on your large night, simply draw your locks back into a loose ponytail like Cameron. I don't care what the style critics say, she looks absolutely glamorous!

Presenter and Jerry Maguire star Renee Zellweger looked simply arresting in a Ag beaded Carolina Herrera gown. As opposing to the simple, solid colours of Cameron's and Jessica's strapless gowns, Renee's ensemble is all glister and glitz, which do it necessary to restrict 1s accessories. All Renee have to make to exceed off this ensemble is to steal on a couple of matching bracelets and off she goes!

Tip: Note that each actress is wearing a gown that perfectly regard her skin-tone. For richer olive-colored skin, deeper chromaticities look absolutely phenomenal. For pale skin, pastel colours are a perfect match!
