Necklines and hemlines are always on the move during awards season, but this year's two-month-long red carpet fashion marathon is making us hyper-aware of the fact that if we want to keep up with those Hollywood glamazons, we need to get involved with some serious bench press action in the coming weeks.
Halterneck gowns have been as much of a ceremony staple as a glittering golden statuette with dozens of celebs eschewing cleavage-enhancing gowns for high-necked numbers that show off toned backs and honed shoulders.
Melding this season's sporty edge with 70s glamour, the appeal of the halterneck gown is twofold - skinny girls with smaller busts can use it to focus the eye on their sculpted shoulders and lean arms, while bustier girls can minimise their assets and elongate the body with a draped neckline that draws the eye up and across.
