From velvet gowns to velvet tuxedos both the men and women embraced the rich fabric at the 2017 Academy Awards Sunday night.

Michael Strahan looked uber handsome in a blue velvet tuxedo. Slaying with the blue velvet trend, Taraji P Henson brought heat to the red carpet in a deep blue Alberta Ferretti gown.
