The Best Red Dresses on the Oscars Red Carpet
The statues might be gold, but red ruled the red carpet at this year's Academy Awards.
Pantone's Color of the Year may have been Very Peri, but when it comes to the Oscars, it was red that ruled supreme. Maybe it was the influence of that red carpet, maybe there was something in the zeitgeist, or maybe it was just the classic appeal of a bold scarlet gown, but whatever the reason, this year's Academy Awards ceremony was positively packed with red gowns. Here we take a look at some of the most dramatic carmine dresses to brighten the red carpet.
Marlee Matlin
The Coda actress positively gleamed in a rich ruby hue as well as jewelry from Van Cleef & Arpels and Harry Winston from Briony Raymond Estate.

She may have dressed vintage in West Side Story, but DeBose looked plenty modern if this red two-piece with an Omega timepiece and De Beers jewels.
Kirsten Dunst
Dunst made some waves in a red Lacroix gown and Fred Leighton jewels.
Rosie Perez
Perez was radiant in Christian Siriano.
Amy Forsyth
Forsyth's decadent red dress was full of old world glam.

Yuan stood out in a candy apple shade.
Molly Sims
