She's got an Oscar, Bafta, Golden Globes and Emmys to her name, but Julianne Moore could also add another accolade to her CV: Hollywood's reigning queen of the sequin gown.

The American actress, 60, has been stepping out on the red carpet since the 1990s, when she rose to fame with roles in Boogie Nights, Nine Months and The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

However, while she once had a penchant for the era's boxy tailoring and laid-back separates, the Hannibal star soon polished her premiere-ready looks as her filmography grew.

Moore, who has also penned a series of children's books about a redheaded character named Freckleface Strawberry, found her style signature circa 2009, when she ditched the pedestrian LBDs for a splash of colour.

Working on Tom Ford's directorial debut A Single Man, the actress turned to the American designer's label for the red carpet, sporting sleek, sequinned column dresses and block-colour gowns in jewel tones.

In the following years, Moore has also sported plenty of Valentino, Givenchy and Armani, demonstrating a passion for dramatic silhouettes, theatrical fabrics and head-turning colour palettes.

Here, we take a look at how the star's style has evolved throughout her time in the spotlight.

Dubai works towards better air quality by 2021

Dubai is on a mission to record good air quality for 90 per cent of the year – up from 86 per cent annually today – by 2021.

The municipality plans to have seven mobile air-monitoring stations by 2020 to capture more accurate data in hourly and daily trends of pollution.

These will be on the Palm Jumeirah, Al Qusais, Muhaisnah, Rashidiyah, Al Wasl, Al Quoz and Dubai Investment Park.

“It will allow real-time responding for emergency cases,” said Khaldoon Al Daraji, first environment safety officer at the municipality.

“We’re in a good position except for the cases that are out of our hands, such as sandstorms.

“Sandstorms are our main concern because the UAE is just a receiver.

“The hotspots are Iran, Saudi Arabia and southern Iraq, but we’re working hard with the region to reduce the cycle of sandstorm generation.”

Mr Al Daraji said monitoring as it stood covered 47 per cent of Dubai.

There are 12 fixed stations in the emirate, but Dubai also receives information from monitors belonging to other entities.

“There are 25 stations in total,” Mr Al Daraji said.

“We added new technology and equipment used for the first time for the detection of heavy metals.

“A hundred parameters can be detected but we want to expand it to make sure that the data captured can allow a baseline study in some areas to ensure they are well positioned.”
