Pale, sequinned gowns with flowing capes are proving to be an early trend as the stars make their way down the red carpet at the 89th Academy Awards.
French star Isabelle Huppert, who is nominated for the best actress Oscar, opted for a long sleeved, pale pink sequinned gown by Armani Prive, while her fellow best actress nominee Ruth Negga opted for a red Valentino dress, teamed with an American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) ribbon.
