Spangled gownsIs there any better way to bring the drama than in a gorgeous spangled gown? Camilla Belle (in Ralph Lauren), Cameron Diaz (in Stella McCartney), Karolina Kurkova (in Rachel Zoe), Kate Upton (in Michael Kors) and Jessica Pare (in L'Wren Scott) certainly didn't think so.

Feathers, feathers everywhereFor a dose of added drama, some celebrities went for mountains of feathers attached to their gowns. Check out Beyonce (in Givenchy Haute Couture), Kate Bosworth (in Prada), Diane Kruger (also in Prada), Cate Blanchett (in Alexander McQueen) and Amy Poehler (in Fotini.) Some may say this trend is better left to the birds, but we think these ladies pulled it off!
White gownsThere just isn't a more ethereal, angelic hue than white. And while some may consider it boring on the red carpet, these three starlets definitely took chances with such a safe color! We're loving the looks by Ashley Greene (in Donna Karan Atelier), Claire Danes (in J. Mendel, with husband Hugh Dancy) and stylesetter Rachel Zoe (in her own design).
Bright, sunny yellowIs there a more "notice me" color than yellow? We don't think so, and neither did January Jones (in Atelier Versace), Coco Rocha (in Givenchy, previously owned by Elizabeth Taylor) and Solange Knowles (in Rachel Roy, with the designer).
Girly detailsTulle, ruffles and other girly, flirty details were all the rage on the red carpet. Sometimes it's just really nice to enjoy being a girl! At least that's what Leslie Mann (in Nina Ricci), Scarlett Johansson (in Dolce & Gabbana), Leighton Meester (in Marchesa) and Dakota Fanning (in Louis Vuitton) thought.
