Red Carpet Oscars by Dijanna Mulhearn & Cate Blanchett

The first and only book to showcase a complete sartorial history of Oscar's red carpet. The red carpet is so much more than fabulous gowns for famous people. It reflects the styles and values of the time and has become a platform for often trenchant social statements. Red Carpet - Oscars presents over ninety years of fashion worn at the awards ceremony since its inception in 1929. From ready-to-wear to haute couture, it charts what stars and invitees wore across the decades, as well as the emergence of stylists, the commercialization of the red carpet and how fashion has shaped Hollywood.
