A Recap of the Oscars Best Dressed
The Oscars are the perfect opportunity to see the latest trends in high fashion. This year was full of show-stopping pieces and challenging what it means to ‘dress like a man or woman’. There was bold color choices and sparkly additions to pieces we have not seen before. Below are some of the most memorable outfits to inspire your fashion decisions.
Kelly Ripa is wearing a gorgeous shimmering dress from Christian Siriano, who made headlines this Oscars season. He won the fourth season of Project Runway as the youngest designer, and this dress makes us see why!
Who said pink is just for girls? Jason Momoa is wearing a fantastic pink velvet suit from the late Karl Lagerfeld. The retro black stripe gives definition to his legs, breaking up the harsh thickness of the velvet, creating a stylish suit.
Emma Stone continues the sparkle trend with a sculptural dress from Louis Vuitton that flatters her figure, and adds in some shoulder texture we see repeated in men’s fashion.
Female-empowering Amy Poehler rocked a suit from Alberta Ferretti, proving that dresses aren’t the only option for the Oscars.
Jennifer Hudson’s sculpted dress was created by Elie Saab Couture, a popular choice on the red carpet this year. The ruffles and one shoulder combination are hard to pull off, but she has no issue with it! This dress reminded people of a painting or a cartoon - but the most high fashion cartoon!
Gemma Chan stunned the runway in her show-stopping Valentino Couture. Bright pink is making a major comeback and we can see why when you look at her. She’s stunning and made a memorable walk across the carpet
Even at age 15, Elsie Fisher isn’t afraid to show off her unique style. She looks confident and elegant in her suit by Thom Browne. Perhaps the best part of her outfit is the purse or the slight shine in the shoe, no matter what this elegant ensemble put her on the best dressed list.
Marina de Tavira made a stunning Oscars debut in a J. Mendel gown. The unique bodice of the dress seems hard to pull off, yet it couldn’t be more flattering on her. Her statement earrings were a bonus to this fun dress!
Amandla Stenberg never fails to impress, and her Miu Miu gown is no exception! The beaded detail is a modern take on a 1920’s flapper girl. Everything from her hair to her accessories is simple and elegant, yet made her one of a kind.
Billy Porter stunned the audience with his incredible tuxedo dress by Christian Siriano. Siriano is known for pushing boundaries and redefining fashion standards. Porter stated that he wanted to start a conversation about what it means to ‘dress like a man,’ and he succeeded. His confidence radiated throughout the red carpet in his stunning look.
