It's awards season once again, so unlike the past few weeks where there hasn't been much activity on the red carpet, this week saw an influx of stellar ensembles. Black was by far the dominant color choice, with metallics and distinct pops of color also making appearances. One of the most impressive looks actually occurred at a late night talk show far away from all the awards-related festivities.
