As I mentioned yesterday, there are so many beautifully designed dresses that saunter down the red carpet during the award season, and many of them could care less about white. For the bride, looking for something a bit different for her day, why not take a nod from these stunning dresses and glide down your aisle in something a little less white!

From subtle golden beauty to striking daring beauty, there are some many ravishing images to create and strut on your big day!

Perhaps a bit more traditional or for a second marriage, how about a sip of champagne. Check out the details in the bodice of Sandra Bullock’s Marchesa creation. Cinderella would certainly have been seen in Cameran Diaz’s choice by Oscar de la Renta.

I love rich saturated jewel tones Cruz, Weaver, Latifah and Farmiga selected.

What could be more daring than one of the most controversial dresses of the night (critics either loved it or hated it. I love the concept but believe the execution is still not all there)? Zoe sported a stunning gown in cascades of purple that I would love to see in white as well!

Ah yes, the soft and subtle beauties of the night were definitely in full force. I love the softness of each of these gowns, be they in white or their original colors here. I am a particular fan of Demi’s Atelier Versace creation!

And finally, with our current love for the dark seedy world of vampires, who could not include a few black beauties. Mariska’s Vera Wang and Kristen Stewart’s Monique Lhuillier creations certainly make these beauties tempting to taste!

What was your favorite dress of the night?

And then, of course, there are the men. But that’s another day right? Actually, there was only one really sharp look that caught my eye.
