The old Oscar man - The Oscar trophy - will travel to the grand stand naked, as always, but the stars of the red carpet will be dressed in their best; and some secrets are already out. AR Rahman will wear a black and grey tux from Lanvin. Mumbai grapevine is abuzz that Shobhaa De has texted Freida Pinto, British socialite Jemima Khan's wish to dress her up. But Freida's not giving anything out yet; pretty much like other Hollywood divas. Oscars Night sees almost as much attention focusing on what Hollywood's A-listers are wearing as the films they've starred in. As the fashion experts on American TV go berserk insisting that the recession shouldn't completely put off grand fashion, outrageous offerings, like Stuart Weitzmann's million dollar plus diamond studded sandals, and diamond facials are out. No one is talking million dollar price tags. While, Martin Katz, designer who is adorning A-listers with some of the hottest bling in town this year isn't revealing much, but expects a more subtle line in red carpet jewellery. His prize jewel is, however, a 240-carat, two-million (USD) dollar diamond necklace. He said,"I believe you'll see necklace styles, and earrings and pieces that are a little more subdued in their nature. Not quite as large scale as we may have done in year's past but again it's just a wave of style and in a few more year's it'll go back the other direction again." The in thing is predicted to be lots of metallics, nude and taupe tones. One piece statements will be in, be it in jewellery or in outfits. Patrick Melville, a hairdresser to the stars said, "I think the hair is all going to be very shiny a little smoother a little bit more contained but not overly textured like we've seen in the past. It's not going to be as textured a lot of open waves it's going to be very soft very sexy." So while muted styles are expected to dominate, the glam factor won't fade out totally - thankfully!
