Eternally glamorous and the perfect match for the world’s most famous red carpet, classic ruby red made for the most ravishing of pouts at the 84th Academy Awards.

Angelina Jolie ditched her favoured beige gloss for the second time this awards season (remember how she matched her pillowy pout to the scarlet trim of her Versace gown at the Golden Globes?)

Rooney Mara channeled Snow White chic, offsetting her alabaster skin and dramatic ebony do with blood red lips, Milla Jovovich went for silver screen glam with vintage waves and crimson lippy, while Livia Giuggioli, the gorgeous wife of British hottie Colin Firth, matched her eco-friendly gown to her tomato toned mouth.
