Red carpet glam was back Sunday (April 25) at the Oscars with Andra Day and Carey Mulligan shimmering in award-worthy gold and Maria Bakalova among several stars in bright white princess gowns during the pandemic era's first big parade of fashion.

There was a strong showing of reds as well, along with belly-baring midriffs, the latter including Zendaya in standout yellow and more than 183 carats of Bulgari diamonds from ears and neck to her fingers.
