The Oscars were all about fashion and flowing gowns this year. One shoulder dresses were quite popular and so were strapless gowns. Color was sparse though with a few shades of blue, bright reds, and pink, but the rest were white and black evening gowns. Kate Winslet had the most elegant evening gown in black and Natalie Portman and Alicia Keys added a dash of color with a pink strapless gown. Marisa Tomei and Frieda Pinto elegantly carried off one shoulder dresses. Amy Adams had on a gorgeous red satin and Adrianna Papell evening gown.
Oscar styles and colors usually influence prom dress fashions and can spark some great ideas for evening gowns. Strapless chiffon gowns have a wonderful fall and come in some of the most unusual shades and hues. You cannot go wrong is a ruffled silk gown or a strapless chiffon gown.Here are some top picks:
