With the awards season coming to an end, spring is just around the corner. And what better way to kick off the season than to see the hits and misses of the 84th Academy Awards and which celebrities were following this year’s spring trends.

One of the hottest spring trends this year is the use of light pastels, creams and whites—and the stars loved this trend on the red carpet.

Cameron Diaz

Gwyneth Paltrow

They all wore gowns that were more form-fitting. Even though the colours were all neutral, each celebrity wore a gown that had a little something different to make them stand out.

Following suit with the light colours that this spring embraces, these stars also chose lighter fabrics for their gowns, keeping the popular flowing trend by employing Grecian and tunic-style gowns.

Melissa McCarthy

Maria Menounos

These starlets all had a light-as-air look to them as they walked down the red carpet, adding a little more colour to the pastel spectrum.

Although metallics are usually more of a fall/winter style, shimmery fabrics have definitely made their mark with this season’s hottest trends.

Both these women glistened in gold, resembling the coveted trophies everyone was there to see. They wore this timeless trend perfectly and reminded everyone of the sunshine that is sure to come.

Free-flowing fabrics, light pastels, and glimmering metallics are some of the most classic spring fashion trends, but as these celebrities have shown, you can always try something a little different. Whether you’re going to the office or to lunch, using any of these trends will make your wardrobe red-carpet ready.
