From Angelina Jolie, who almost always plays it safe in black; to Carey Mulligan, the very epitome of youthful sophistication - the hope remains that, rather than a safe, neutral, appropriate gown, our favourite stars will say: "Let's go for the Givenchy Couture, with face jewellery" and give us a moment to remember.
