Oscars 2017 Fashion: Gold Game

The Academy Awards represent the culmination of the awards season and the most highly-anticipated red carpet of the year. As such, it should be no surprise that some of the best dressed of the night did so in the color most associated with winning: gold! From champagne to gritty metallic, the spectrum of golden hues were on display.

Dakota Johnson chose a 24-karat Gucci look fresh off of the Fall 2017 runway. She upped the glam factor with Cartier jewelry and a gold pin in support of Planned Parenthood.

Kaufman Franco's gilded long-sleeved gown was perfectly accessorized with a spiked bib necklace from Tiffany. This was a fashion risk that paid off.

Snagging what will likely be the last red carpet look by Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy (he is leaving the fashion house for Versace), Emma Stone's gold deco-inspired dress was fun and fresh. She also accessorized with a golden pin supporting Planned Parenthood just below her shoulder strap.

In black mesh layered over perfectly pleated gold lurex, Charlize Theron's Dior look was elegant and unexpected.

From a subtle shimmer to all-out metallic wattage, gold is definitely a winning pick when getting dressed up. With a range of styles and inspirations, these red carpet styles prove that all that glitters really is gold.  Who were your best dressed stars of the night?
