The first few minutes of the 2010 Oscars have been a bit of whirlwind. Watching some of the stars parading down the red carpet in black before the initial event began, we were under the impression that this would form the trend of the night, but we were wrong. Nicole Ritchie broke up the dark trends with a silver and black frock complete with kimono sleeves, while Avatar star Zoe Saldana walked the red path in a strapless sparkling bodice and frill-adorned lilac skirt.

Vera Farmiga opted for a red frilly Marchesa frock, which she unfortunately stepped on, however the disaster of the night so far has got to be Sky presenter Angela Griffin, who we think went a bit too far with her imitation of Rihanna’s statement hairstyle.

And although she didn’t copy the singer‘s quirky style, instead she went for an on-trend nude chiffon frock with ruffles, we still think she looks like a poor mans version of the superstar. And another thing Angela, no matter how much your feet will ache the next day, wearing flip flops on the red carpet is a big no no.

Pictures to follow.
