Oscars fashion: Shoulder of glam

Long sleeved dresses are a big red carpet fave right now, but on Oscar night, who can blame a girl for wanting to show off the results of months of shoulder presses and tricep dips in a stunning strapless number?

Showcasing dazzling décolleté and not even the merest hint of a bingo wing, Michelle Williams looked ravishing in her burnt orange strapless Louis Vuitton peplum gown, Natalie Portman appeared to have maintained her Black Swan ballet dancer’s body in vintage Christian Dior, Cameron Diaz showed off seriously impressive lats and delts in pale gold Gucci Premiere, Kristen Wiig displayed arms that would make Jennifer Aniston jealous in J Mendel, and uber-svelte Jessica Chastain looked positively regal in custom made corseted Alexander McQueen. Meanwhile, the sexy dropped shoulder gown also made its mark on the red carpet, with Stacey Keibler in Marchesa, Kate Mara in Jack Guisson Couture and Missi Pyle in Red Carpet Green Dress all rocking the newest sleeve/non sleeve trend on the Hollywood block. Pass the dumbbells, would you?
