Hollywood’s A-list actresses oozed old-school elegance in white and glittering silver on the Oscars red carpet, even as rain tumbled down on Tinseltown’s top fashion parade.

 Beyond the icy colour palette, another trend for the ladies was lots of pearls and beads. Many of the gowns seen on the red carpet at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles were embellished to the max.

 Luckily, organisers set up a canopy to protect the stars from the drizzle.

 Julianne Moore, the favourite in the best actress category for playing a woman with early onset Alzheimer’s disease in Still Alice, wore a custom beaded white strapless Chanel gown with black accents, her red hair swept back in a bun.

 “Karl Lagerfeld made this for me!” she exclaimed.

France’s Marion Cotillard, a previous Oscar winner and nominated again in the best actress category, also chose white - a sleeveless Dior polka dot gown with a geisha-style bustle.
