Regarding the colour, the Oscars always sees a wide range of colour palettes on the red carpet, but this year sees green being a strong contender for the Best Actress winner. Julianne Moore, who is nominated for Best Actress this year for her role in Still Alice, has already worn green to the Oscars in 2003 where she was also nominated, but did not take home the coveted statuette. White and cream is also tipped to be a popular colour, after the Golden Globes saw Hollywood's leading ladies including Oscar nominee Rosamund Pike opting for pale and embellished gowns.
