Photos of red carpet arrivals at the Academy Awards yesterday had me thinking that this year's Oscars gowns were a little on the boring side - except for actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who looked chic and stunning in her Tom Ford dress and matching cape.

Who would have thought that a floor-length cape could complete a red carpet look for the Oscars?!
Alternatively, you could throw a tuxedo jacket over an evening gown or even a cocktail dress to achieve a similar sophisticated look. Pairing it with minimal jewellery and a simple clutch will help retain the focus on your upper body.

So ladies, next time you head out, throw a cape or drape a jacket over your shoulder to add that edgy touch of style!
