LA, Mar 01: Besides the stunning beauties that shimmered at the Oscars the next sparkling thing was undoubtly diamonds.Winston's long stiletto diamond earrings were a big favorite with the stars, as were his bracelets, wore in stacks by several stars. While black is usually always a safe bet for some awards attendees, actress Liv Tyler's stunning black Givenchy seemed to stand out in sharp contrast to the colors.
Lucrecia Perez, who did the music for the nominated documentary "Balseros," wore a head full of neon multi-colored dreadlocks, while Katja Esson, director and producer of a "FerryTales," nominated for best documentary on a short subject, wore an orange top accompanied by a brightly tie-died skirt.

Classic white was also favored by some luminaries like best supporting actress winner Renee Zellweger, who wore a Carolina Herrera strapless gown and Cartier jewelry.
"It feels like old Hollywood, the glamour of old Hollywood and I kind of wanted to be part of that," Zellweger said backstage on Sunday.
While there were no outfits reminiscent of a "Janet Jackson" Super Bowl moment, Frederic Fekkai, hairstylist to the stars, said many stars intended to look glamorous as well as sexy.
As in years past, many of the stars wore million-dollar couture, outfits loaned gratis for the day by the world's top designers. Designers compete for the privilege of lending their pieces to stars on the theory that a picture translates into millions of dollars in free promotion and sales.
Many stars, fearful of criticism from the likes of Joan Rivers on her popular E! Network pre-show, now hire stylists to help them select the right look and avoid fashion faux pas that could reverberate for years, such as Bjork's "swan" dress in 2001.
There were no real fashion disasters, although some critics said Uma Thurman's white layered gown with bolero jacket and colored sash fell short of her usual high standards.
Some red carpet viewers also were disappointed that Diane Keaton did not depart from her signature Annie Hall black bowler hat, and noted that Angelina Jolie's tattoos detracted from her gorgeous white gown.
