Oscar Madness

I'm blogging to to you live from India right now (I'm attending a jewelry show; more on that later) where I'm watching the Oscars live at 11am. It's actually lovely to watch the ceremony from the very country that Slumdog Millionaire was made--the excitement here is certainly palpable.

But what's important here is the "awards" for best dressed, not for films. This year's red carpet was actually awash in white; certainly the color of the year. Many women went for shimmery silver tones as an accent and there are a large array of beautiful gowns to take a look at that fall under this category.

Below are some of my favorites (including Best Supporting Actress winner Penelope Cruz) and what they chose to wear.
