Oscars 2019: Pink haute couture shut down the red carpet

Floor-grazing gowns and sequin numbers are the tried and true formulas for awards season dressing, but one color in particular dominated the 2019 Oscars red carpet: Power pink.

Gemma Chan set the tone arriving in a neon shade with her Valentino Haute Couture gown. The "Crazy Rich Asians" star has been the one-to-watch by reason of her fashion-forward approach on the step and repeats.

Kacey Musgraves made her Oscar debut channeling a couture fashion princess in a pink tulle masterpiece by Giambattista Valli. The dramatic gown was equally imaginative as it was sophisticated.

Our personal favorite? Sarah Paulson in Brandon Maxwell's fresh-off-the-runway finale look from his Fall 2019 RTW collection. The parachute gown featured a billowing skirt and wasp-waist cutout complete with a diamond choker. (And yes, you can own it yourself: Buy it here.)

Julia Roberts made a surprise appearance to present "Green Book" with the Academy Award for Best Picture. The "Ben is Back" actress also got the pink memo -- stunning in a one shoulder fushia gown and side swept part showing off her gorgeous Cindy Chao architectural earrings.

"Green Book" star Linda Cardellini stepped away from her minimal red carpet route and took a risk in an asymmetrical ruffled-sweeping gown by legacy couture house, Elsa Schiaparelli.
