There were the usual fashion don'ts at this year's Oscar red carpet, but for the most part, "simple and minimalist won over the usual ruffles and plunging necklines on Sunday night." My article is titled "Plane Jane Glamour Rules the Red Carpet". It is basically an overview of how all the celebrities dressed that night, and how fashion is such a large part of these awards ceremonies and how it can have a huge impact on how we see stars. This is written by Eric Wilson, and I don't find his argument biased in any way because most of his information comes from quotes from fashion critics, therefore I find him a reliable source. The intended audience is everyone. Either you watched the Oscars and wanted to know the later critiques of everyone's outfit, or you didn't watch and wanted to figure out what everyone wore and what some reactions were. I agree that this year's trends were a bit dulled down from previous years and even from the Academy Awards from just a month ago, but that's also not hard for me to believe since trends change so quickly.
I think you are right, I'm not one to get wrapped up in celebrities and definitely am not the most fashion sensible person, but your article made me go back and look at the trends. I know that the fashions that I did see were definitley different than what I usually see on awards shows. And you are definitely correct on the trends changing so quickly.
