Leading ladies opt for classic glamour

Nude tones were the order of the day at last night's Oscars with Cameron Diaz, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Lopez all opting for neutral shades.

Cameron stunned in a floorlength cream strapless Gucci gown complete with a feathered train and more than €750,000 worth of Tiffany & Co. jewellery. Having got ready for the prestigious event at Los Angeles' Kodak Theatre with best friend Gwyneth, the 39-year-old 'Bad Teacher' actress said she struggled to choose from the many "beautiful" dresses on offer.
