Chances are the vintage or fresh-off-the runway couture was first discovered on the racks of Hollywood's number one fashion showroom, Starworks Group.  The company's COO Alana Varel says Starworks will likely have a hand in dressing many of the starlets in the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress categories at Sunday's Academy Awards. \u003cbr/\u003e\"At this point we would have been communicating with almost every single stylist leading up to the ceremony,\" said Varel. \"This is really the big one, and so this is the time that they have thought about what the silhouette for their clients are going to look like. What their client is going to like to wear. What kind of colors, are they neutral, are they going to be jewel tones. So we have been working with them, whether we are going to be creating custom gowns for certain designers and presenters or whether they are going to be pulling from the showroom and simply come in and get the beautiful gowns that are here already that are one of a kind pieces most of the time anyway. So leading up to the awards all the work that goes into the back that you don't see until that one moment that you see the celebrity on the camera and on the red carpet.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe big reveal of who is wearing what is the most eagerly awaited moment in Hollywood since the Oscar's red carpet wrapped last February. \u003cbr/\u003e\"So obviously I can't tell you exactly what the outcome is going to be,\" said Varel. \"But I can definitely tell you that during the course of these months and this week, we are working with every single top stylist and the people that they are working with include Jessica Chastain, Rooney Mara, Meryl Streep, and many of the other nominees. So definitely expect to see many of our gowns on those girls.\"\u003cbr/\u003eVarel predicts black and white, jewel tones, liquid metal, mermaid and princes dresses will make a splash this year. \u003cbr/\u003e\"So the classic silhouettes are obviously the mermaid silhouette that you see every year and it works on so many people and people always come back to it,\" Varel said. \"So there is also the neutrals. And we have seen a lot of jewel tones, and you see people like Michelle Williams really embracing those jewel tones. You can expect to see that continued on the red carpet. There is also a really big trend with backless, sexy silhouettes. So someone that we anticipate someone continuing that trend into the Oscars is Halle Berry. She always wears that type of silhouette and obviously, it is a huge night so the embellishments and embroidery and all the work in addition to that. Of course, you have a couple of the out-of-the-box people that you really can't anticipate what they are going to wear.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe 84th annual Academy Awards is set for Sunday in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles.\u003cbr/\u003eSHOTLIST (including transcript):-\u003cbr/\u003eAP Entertainment\u003cbr/\u003eLos Angeles, 9 February 2011\u003cbr/\u003e1.
