The red carpet fashion this year for the 2014 Academy Awards Oscars show took a similar path that the Grammy's took a month prior: dark and slightly sombre. It seems that black, midnight blue, and soft beige were the most popular colors on the red carpet, which were both dazzling, and leaving us thirsty for a bit of color. But what the gowns lacked in color, they made up for in details like unique silhouettes, fabric treatments, and sparklers.

But the real stand out was Best Supporting Actress Winner Nupita Nyong'o, who looked absolutely breathtaking in a Nairobi blue Prada gown, and now famous Fred Leighton headband. Yes folks, that headband now has its own Twitter handle!

Lupita looked as if she were floating down the carpet on an endlessly delicate, strikingly elegant blue gown that not only complimented her flawless skin (seriously, her stylist can do no wrong with color choice), but was a breath of fresh air amongst the sea of black and white.

But hey, let's not forget Jennifer Lawrence's bold red Dior gown, which, go figure, the lady fell in once again, and the bevy of white tuxedos the men brought to the carpet. And of course, there's the ever daring fashion statement of Pharell's shorts and suit combo, which I just love.

So take a look at some photos from the red carpet. Who was your favorite fashion darling?
