Hollywood's leading ladies were working off the same page as they picked their all-important Oscar gowns. This year's key trend was the off-the-shoulder gown, which proved an elegant choice for a host of style-conscious celebrities.

It was a busy weekend for Tinseltown's big names as a host of glitzy awards ceremonies meant that just about everyone who is anyone had a gala date in their diary.

[Britney Spears] was greeted by a deafening roar of applause when she took to the stage at this year's Teen Choice Awards on Sunday. And the heavily pregnant chanteuse, who is expecting her second child shortly, wanted to make sure her leading man got just as enthusiastic a reception.

Waiters at the Republic Restaurant in Los Angeles might have been forgiven for feeling a little flustered on Wednesday after finding themselves deluged with A-list beauties.

On a night when Hollywood's most gorgeous ladies pull out all the stops it's hard to stand out from the crowd. But as far as our readers are concerned [Nicole Kidman] scored a hit in her show-stopping strapless Balenciaga column at this year's Academy Awards. <br /><br />
Movie bombshells [Salma Hayek], Eva Mendes and Jessica Alba are all well-accustomed to stealing the show wherever they happen to be. It might be more appropriate to say they kidnapped the limelight when they turned out for the premiere of an independent Venezuelan movie in Los Angeles, though.
