Although other hues like nude tried to take over the red carpet at the 2011 Oscars, the dress color of the evening was definitely red. Jennifer Hudson wore her tangerine Versace gown (that showed off her smashing new figure) with purple shoes, while Sandra Bullock wore a strapless red Vera Wang gown (one of her best red carpet looks in recent seasons.) Presenter Anne Hathaway entered with a dramatic red gown from Valentino and newbie Jennifer Lawrence showed how to wear red the new way: minimally, in Calvin Klein.
