White Gowns
White was obviously the most omnipresent gown color of the awards show season, but in new incarnations: Many celebs wore iridescent versions of the look or kept it fresh with different cuts and necklines.
Ladies in Red
A bright crimson red also made waves on the red carpet: Stars donned the hue in the form of lacy gowns, jewel-embellished frocks and even one pair of pants (we see you, Solange).
Men in Blue
It seems that Hollywood's hottest men just realized that, well, black isn't the only tuxedo color there is! Shades of navy blue ruled the season in the dapper gents department.
Metallic Frocks
The Golden Globes and Grammys red carpet featured many leading ladies (gone glitter gals) in eye-catching metallic frocks.
Put-Together Ponytails
An updo that got major play on the red carpet was the awards show ponytail, which some stars wore low with face-framing tendrils.
Thigh-High Slits
Angelina Jolie's right leg may have started it all, but thigh-high slits still made a statement at this season's biggest awards shows.
Sleek Low Buns
We loved the sleek neck-grazing buns that became a ubiquitous hairstyle of the season.
Bold Green Jewels
Bright emerald and turquoise jewelry gave us a much-needed splash of jewelry color.
Diamond Chokers
In the bling arena, we spotted unique diamond chokers (in starburst designs, snake shapes and dainty sizes) on the red carpet.
Dark Lips
Our must-do beauty trend of the season has to be the wine-hued lip color that offered up some serious wow-factor on our favorite leading ladies.
