Graphic patterns along with significant embellishments were all the rage on the red carpet this week. Celebs favored dramatic details like velvet embroidery, intricate beading, and pleated accents. Vibrant reds, various shades of blue, as well as unexpected combinations of black and white all made noticeable appearances. There was also a nice mix of fall and spring selections with a few stars even opting for couture.
