2012 Red Carpet Trends: Predictions, Please?

Getting that red carpet look exactly right is every nominated actress's preoccupation during awards season. Not only can the perfect getup create an indelible image when the actress wins -- more than 10 years later, can anyone forget Gwyneth Paltrow's pink Ralph Lauren Academy Awards gown? But it can keep her in the public eye and on studio shortlists even when she's been out of view. And the standout looks are sure to be copied: Red prom dresses were all the rage in 2011, thanks in no small part to Anne Hathaway's stunning Valentino ensemble. So what trends are on tap for the 2012 awards season? Expect to see a few winning ideas from seasons past, as well as the best that the pre-Fall 2012 collections had to offer.
