Oscar Dresses- S/S 2013 trends

I've been more interested in the Oscars this year than I have ever been before! It wasn't even just the celebrities that lured me into staying up to watch E!News' live stream from the red carpet, it was what they were wearing.

There's so many pieces on who was best dressed, who wore what and what the major trend is, but no-one has seemed to focus on every S/S13 trend and how they were each captured at the oscars. Let's start with monochrome.

Monochrome seemed to be a huge hit with the A-listers this year, everyone from Charlize Theron to Bradley Cooper's mother were rocking the black and white trend. And with the Red Carpet as a backdrop, nothing could have been more spot-on.

Charlize Theron with her new beautiful cropped hair and stunning white dress.

Kristen Stewart with THAT face... Her hair just about makes up for it though.

Adele looking gorgeous in a floor length black Jenny Packham gown.

Secondly, it was difficult to ignore the amount of sparkles and metallics present on the red carpet this year, as if the expensive bling wasn't enough. Especially with E!'s mini manicure red carpet where the stars could show off their nails as well as their jewellery.

Jennifer Hudson really impressed me, her figure, dress and make-up were all absolutely perfect.

The metallic dresses also seemed to be the sexiest on the red carpet, with a few celebrities opting for skin tight or backless dresses.

Cut-out metallic dresses were popular this year, and with not one wardrobe mishap.

Lastly, a dark blue nautical theme was hugely prominent in the oscar dresses this year.

Reese Witherspoon's dress and hair were huge talking points.

9 years old and at the Oscars! Complete with puppy handbag, of course.

Helen Hunt went for an H&M dress!! She still looks glamorous and elegant.

The celebrities did really well this year in choosing dresses that fit the Oscars so, so well. The colours chosen were all elegant and classy; their stylists need a pat on the back!

Now I've seen this year's show, I'm more excited about next year's!

Beyonce World Tour!!

Beyonce has just announced she will be embarking on a World Tour! Appropriately named: The Mrs Carter Show.
I cannot even begin to describe how excited I (and undoubtedly the rest of the world too) am about this fact.
I've loved Beyonce since I was old enough to appreciate the beauty of what she does and the grace and class she does it with. Not to mention her work ethic! She literally doesn't stop, it's one album after the other, only separated by sell-out world tours. She obviously loves her fans, and you just know she's thankful for everything she has in terms of talent, family and success. I'd say I know a few people with a heart as good as hers, but the fact she has managed to stay an idol with all these years in the public eye is more than impressive, it's seriously admirable.

Beyonce has a husband and a beautiful baby daughter and yet manages to entertain the world. As she says in 'Run the World': "We're smart enough to make these millions, strong enough to bear the children, then get back to business..."

Also, how could I do a blog post on Beyonce without mentioning her incredible Super Bowl performance last night? I didn't quite make it to 2:15am UK time to watch it as it happened, but I did watch it earlier through her official page. Am I the only one who nearly died when Michelle and Kelly popped up on stage? I don't think I was. I'm pretty sure we've all been waiting for Destiny's Child to sing together again for a long time.

Because there was so much hype about her performance I was slightly worried that it wouldn't live up to everyone's expectations, obviously I was wrong. Damn was she incredible. And after everyone slating her for supposedly lip syncing at the inauguration, I don't think I was the only one proved wrong here.

I can't see her giving up on being incredible any time soon, so this blog post stands for my view in 10 years time...
