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. Two-time best actress winner [Hilary Swank] worked the asymmetric look in black Atelier Versace, while Bond girl [Rosamund Pike] opted for a Roland Mouret design in pale primrose.
One of UK cinema's most celebrated sex symbols was applauded by a roll-call of the industry's hottest young actresses when she was honoured with a lifetime achievement award this week. Dame [Helen Mirren] spent the evening rubbing shoulders with the likes of [Rosamund Pike], [Emilia Fox] and [Helen McCrory] after she was presented with a special trophy by her fellow screen veteran Charles Dance on Wednesday.
