>Oh! The Oscars... the only event other than your wedding to which it is considered acceptable to turn up wearing a train. It was one of the most perfect red carpets we have ever seen last night, with star after star shining in swoon-worthy and stunning couture. Two trends reigned: Purple Passion and Whisper White. Here are some of our favourites... *sigh* so beautiful!
Purple Passion: from creamy lilac to lavendar lace, lush plum satin and maroon lace, purple reigns as a regal power colour...
