Oscars 2021 red carpet: Carey Mulligan, Andra Day, Leslie Odom Jr. and more strike gold through style

While this year's Oscars fashion was quite different, one alluring hue that remained a true classic was gold.

Gilded metallics were all the rage and reigned supreme as one of the biggest standout trends on the red carpet.

From Carey Mulligan's hard-to-miss Valentino sparkle to Questlove's crocs, gold popped up several times and was hard to miss.
