The Oscars' red carpet this year was ruled by cool shades of blue and purple by everyone- the stalwarts to the newbie nominees. The preferred tones of blue were the more royal, deeper shades like Prussian blue, electric blue, vivid indigo, purple, violet etc. The red-carpet staple is mostly hues of red and black but this time the ladies and gentlemen, from Tina Fey to Mindy Kaling seem to have given convention a toss and opted to appear serene, exotic, sophisticated, tranquil, slightly aloof and very, very mysterious.
