Carson Kressley's 2011 Oscar Trends

Metallics

Some of the most stunning showstoppers shined in silver and gold metallic, Carson says. Gwyneth Paltrow and Hilary Swank were favorites in their shimmery silver, and Annette Bening was a beautiful Best Actress nominee in her sparkling Naeem Khan dress. Halle Berry, Celine Dion and Helen Mirren also wore variations on metallics—Halle in a stunning gold gown, while Celine and Helen's fashions were silver and gunmetal respectively.
