They are the golden girls of film, but silver was the colour of choice for the stars at last night’s Oscars.
A night as important for fashion as it is for film, Hollywood’s leading ladies broke from the recent tradition of playing it safe with a dazzling array of gowns.
Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz and Dame Helen Mirren were just three of the actresses that chose the shimmering hue for their all-important Oscars gowns.
But Sandra Bullock, who took home the Best Actress award, outshone them all in a figure-hugging gown by British label Marchesa.
All that glitters: Best Actress Sandra Bullock shimmered in British label Marchesa; Kate Winslet wore Yves Saint Laurent with Tiffany jewels, and Helen Mirren chose a Badgley Mischka dress and Chopard jewellery

‘It’s the dress that looks fantastic, not me’, she told the Mail. ‘It feels wonderful to wear’, she added.
Kate Winslet looked beautifully elegant in a strapless gown by Yves Saint Laurent teamed with Tiffany diamonds, while Helen Mirren chose a Badgley Mischka dress and Chopard jewellery.
Avatar actress Zoe Saldana was also a fashion favourite, arriving in the standout gown from Givenchy’s recent couture collection – a lavender ruffled confection with a glittering silver bustier.
Cameron Diaz, who did not get to bed till five in the morning on Sunday, was the last to arrive at the Kodak Centre. But the wait was worth it when she stepped out in a strapless beaded Oscar de la Renta gown.

Fashion faux pas: Amanda Seyfried and Jennifer Lopez went for incredibly similar Armani Privé gowns

But much of the glittering, silver trend was thanks to Giorgio Armani, whose Privé couture collection seemed made for such an occasion.
Jennifer Lopez and Amanda Seyfried both made a very similar choice in pale, full-skirted, strapless gowns.
Buff-coloured gowns were another favourite for Hollywood’s leading ladies. Demi Moore, Miley Cyrus, Diane Kruger and Victoria Beckham all wore sophisticated nude hues.
Victoria Beckham, who announced what she would be wearing at her label’s fashion show last month, did not disappoint in a taupe number with black sash and pixillated print.
In the nude: Miley Cyrus in Jenny Packham and Demi Moore in Atelier Versace proved that buff-coloured hues were a flattering choice at any age
Barely there shades: Diane Kruger in Chanel and Victoria Beckham, in her own label, both wore sophisticated nude gowns that featured black detailing
Inglorious Basterds actress Diane Kruger, who attended with boyfriend Joshua Jackson, went for the same colour combination in classic style in a ruffled Chanel creation.
Miley Cyrus worked the underwear-as-outerwear trend with elegance in a dress by British designer Jenny Packham, who is better known for her bridal wear, while Demi Moore looked stunning in ruffled Atelier Versace.
Great British hope Carey Mulligan was joined by her proud mother Nano. The 24-year-old wore what she described as a ‘cool’ Prada strapless black gown decorated with miniature scissors, spoons and forks, with Fred Leighton earrings.
Fashion forward: Carey Mulligan’s strapless Prada gown was decorated with miniature scissors and forks; Maggie Gyllenhaal wore Dries Van Noten, and Sarah Jessica Parker made a style statement in Chanel Couture
Elegant: Anna Kendrick and Rachel McAdams both wore dresses by Lebanese designer Elie Saab. Kendrick’s Twilight co-star Krisen Stewart wore a midnight blue dress by Monique L’Hullier
Carey, who presented the Oscar for best short film, said: ‘After that I’m going to party and eat again. I love to eat but for weeks and weeks and weeks I’ve had to keep the weight down because of the gowns for the awards shows.
