Elaborate hems and a variety of necklines were all over the red carpet this week. Signature styles like slightly scalloped hemlines, flare skirts, and contrasting colors all made appearances, while celebs also opted for extensive embellishments, lace, and cut-out details. Shades of black, white, and even softer neutrals seemed to dominate in place of bright colors.
