THE off-the-shoulder look was the order, order of the day as Oscars A-listers wore frocks like MP Tracy Brabin.
The politician, who was trolled after wearing her glam dress in Parliament, had the last laugh as Charlize Theron and Diane Kruger wowed in outfits similar to hers on the red carpet in LA.

Other stars who wore off-the-shoulder numbers included Candice Swanepoel and Rebel Wilson.
Last year’s Oscars trend of thigh-high slits legged it as Hollywood’s finest opted to show off more skin on their top halves instead.
And catwalk queens Adriana Lima and Emily Ratajkowski upped the sex appeal with revealing dresses. But which stars were red-hot — and who looked like they had given their stylists the cold shoulder?
Here, Clemmie Fieldsend casts her eye over fashion’s winners and losers from the biggest night in the awards ceremony calendar.

STRICTLY speaking, Candice Swanepoel’s sequined hot pants would have been better suited for Blackpool Tower.
But her mullet-style skirt with statement one sleeve meant the model was one of the night’s best dressed.

MODEL Rosie Huntington-Whiteley slipped into a dramatic black silk gown with oversized sleeves by Saint Laurent.
It had old-school Hollywood glamour, but her wingspan didn’t need to be quite so big.

NEVER one to be shy when it comes to clothes, Emily Ratajkowski plugged her Inamorata brand and flashed her toned stomach.
But her white crop top and low-slung skirt is more suited to the beach.

TALK about outshining the competition – dazzling Diane Kruger shimmered in her metallic, structured dress by Elie Saab.
The frock, which featured an exaggerated one shoulder, clung to the actress’s figure.

KATE Hudson took the open shoulder trend to new extremes with a plunging neckline.
The new mum showed off her enviable post-baby body in this clingy Vivienne Westwood frock with silver flowers.

AT first glance, actress Kate Beckinsale wowed in this red floor-length frock by Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad.
But while the cross-strap neckline tapped into the bare-all trend, it looked too stiff to move in.

THERE were fringe benefits for Charlize Theron.
She ditched the black gown she wore at the awards ceremony and sashayed away in this stylish one-shouldered, 1920s-inspired flapper dress by Dior.

ADRIANA Lima wowed in this angelic white, one-shouldered gown by designers Ralph & Russo which featured sexy cut-out detailing and a daring slit.
But she loses style points for her embellished fishnet leg.

REBEL Wilson didn’t stay in the suit she wore to poke fun at Cats for too long.
When she slipped into this bright metallic gown by Jason Wu after the ceremony was over, the actress hit all the right notes.
