Actress Katherine Heigl on the red carpet for 2008 Academy Awards

Katherine Heigl … looking red carpet worthy.

As I watched the red carpet coverage leading up to the Academy Awards show, trend expert Leon Hall’s words raced through my mind.

If a woman wants to stand out in a sea of black tuxedos, she should wear red, he once told me.

And so it went on the redder-than-usual red carpet. Two stand-outs were Heidi Klum in John Galliano and Katherine Heigl in a one-shoulder gown that showed off her curves. Others in red included Anne Hathaway, Miley Cyrus, Ruby Dee and Helen Mirren. Hathaway’s gown feaured rosette detail and Mirren’s sleeves sparkled with silver beads or crystals.

Ahh, it’s all in the details.

Regal red shared the spotlight with purple, the color of choice by Cate Blanchett and Jessica Alba, both of whom are pregnant. John Travolta’s wife, Kelly Preston, was in a strapless yellow/orange gown by Roberto Cavalli and Amy Adams donned a deep green strapelss satin gown by Proenza Schouler.
