This year Charlotte Rampling was elegant in an Armani Prive outfit, whilst Olivia Munn brought a beautiful hue of Orange to the evening in Stella McCartney and Patricia Arquette stood out in a dark blue Marina Rinaldi dress.
There was of course the usual selection of high gloss and looks recognisable as Oscar-chic; sensible-glamour with bare shoulders, 'done' hair and long skirts.
In contrast however this year's winner for best costume went to Jenny Beavan for her work on Mad Max: Fury Road (pictured below).
