Several key trends from 2012 showed some real staying power on the red carpet this week. Peplums, cut-out accents and colorblocking were once again actively embraced by celebs at various events. Embellishments were surprisingly at a minimum with stars relying on other details to put looks over-the-top. Neutrals like black and white remained popular, while bursts of deep green, orange and fresh peach also made appearances.
