Armani proves a winning choice at the Oscars

With the Oscars being one of the biggest events on the designer clothing world’s calendar each year, we here at Secret Sales HQ were eagerly awaiting the reports of who pulled out all the stops on the red carpet.

While I would have quite possibly given my right arm to be there, unfortunately I had to make do with pouring over pictures of a whole host of celebrities in an array of fabulous designer dresses yesterday morning.

And one thing that quickly became apparent to me was that there was one designer who absolutely stole the show - Giorgio Armani.

While the iconic Italian clothing designer’s gowns always tend to get more than their fair share of celebrity wearers at glittering events, Sunday’s Oscars seemed to be near-enough a clean sweep.

Jennifer Lopez, Hilary Swank and Amanda Seyfried were just some of the stars who fashioned gorgeous Armani creations.

If there is a prize to be awarded for Most Daring Dress, it simply has to go to Hilary, who wore a breathtaking Giorgio Armani Prive black gown, with a cut-out back and a plunging neckline that was slashed almost to the navel.

While I’m not too sure that many of us would be able to get away with this number, it certainly looked fab on super-toned Hilary.

Teaming the designer dress with a bling-tastic diamond pendant and platform heels by Secret Sales favourite Jimmy Choo, the Oscar-winning actress certainly looked like a Million Dollar Baby.

Do you think Armani is a good choice for awards ceremonies?
