Plunging necklines and camera-ready pouts on Oscar red carpet

The world's most watched stretch of red carpet seized the spotlight in Hollywood on Sunday, as a dazzling parade of stars in luxurious gowns, glittering sequins, and daring necklines strutted and twirled on their way into the Academy Awards. A pale yellow Louis Vuitton gown adorned with silver paillettes was one of the first looks to shimmer down the 500 foot-long stretch of carpet, worn by Alicia Vikander, nominated for best supporting actress in “The Danish Girl.” “Just being here feels so surreal,” said the Swedish actress sporting a high ponytail. “I have butterflies in my tummy.” “Modern Family” star Sofia Vergara brought va-va-voom to the red carpet in a plunging Marchesa dress in midnight blue, while “Star Wars'” Daisy Ridley sparkled in silver sequins in a V-neck Chanel.
