Following an awards season in which actresses wore black to The Golden Globes and Baftas in support of the Time's Up movement all eyes were on Hollywood's A-List to see if political statements would again dominate the red carpet ensembles or if they would ring loud and clear in the ceremony and speeches.
In the end it was more business as usual on the long walk into the Dolby Theatre, though the dress code for the 90th Academy Awards turned out to be more diverse than we've seen in years.
White was a major trend as were bright colours, with a rainbow of vibrant jewel shades to choose from, not to mention a smattering of bold florals.
Darker tones mingled with the always to be relied upon sparkle of molten metallics and it wouldn't be the Oscars without a dusting of sugar almond tones and sequins but there were far less of those than we've seen previously.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
