Black was sparse at the 82nd Academy Awards, where muted metallic tones, rich blues and pretty pastels dominated the red carpet. Kristen Stewart looked smoldering in a midnight blue Monique Lhuillier, while Mo’Nique electrified in a bright, blue Tadashi Shoji and Mariah Carey grabbed attention in her blue Valentino.
Feminine ruffles and origami-like features were built into the elaborate gowns, which had mostly strapless and one-shouldered bodices.
