Top Trends!
Capes and Drapes
Oscar presenter Brie Larson carried her “Captain Marvel” title from the big screen straight to the red carpet. She wore a champagne low cut dress with a shimmering cape, in close reflection to her superhero movie. While this Celine dress in its entirety stood out on the red carpet, her red Bvlgari rock ring completed the look.
Olivia Colman also sported an elegant dress with a cape. This navy and blue velvet dress by Stella McCartney was anything but minimalistic. The sides of the dresses curved to accentuate her curvy 49 year old feminine physique and her shoulders had unexpected cutouts that fell inline with her long sleeves. Similar to Larson, this star chose a bold color for jewelry. Swarovski emerald earrings and rings added spunk to the conservative look.
Expect the Unexpected
Timothée Hal Chalamet defied the masculine cliche of wearing a “boring”suit to the 92nd Oscars. His Prada navy zip up flowed effortlessly with his shiny pants and white collar. This comfortable look was typical for Chalamet considering he has worn silk, pajama-like outfits to many past outings.
More than a Memory
Spike Lee’s purple and gold suit was worn in homage to Kobe Bryant who recently passed away in a tragic helicopter accident. The suit had Bryant’s Laker number 24 on the shoulders which was supported with a gold cross chain and purple hat. This look was sentimental for Lee because he was close to Bryant and even directed a documentary on the basketball player in 2009 titled “Kobe Doin’ Work”.
Ruffles and Spunk
Top stars such as Florence Pugh, Julia Batters, and Saorise Ronan came to the 2020 Oscars dolled up in ruffles. Ruffles certainly create a playful edge to the sophisticated mystique of these women.
The breakout actress Florence Pugh was dressed in a teal Louis Vuitton dress with matching teal strap heels. This dress is definitely an eyeful to look at, according to the fashion house it took over four seamstresses to create the dress. Her tight sleek bun was the perfect hairstyle for this bright eye candy piece of an outfit. Considering Pugh is a relatively new star, her bold look may have been worn in efforts to secure her spot in the front seat of newfound fame.
Another star who was not afraid to test the colors of the rainbow was 10 year old Julia Butters. She pranced onto the red carpet in a bubblegum pink Christian Siriano gown and a matching purse which carried her dinner for the night, a turkey sandwich. Intriguingly, Butters helped custom this dress by requesting poofy sleeves and a princess-like train.
Recycled Glamour
Sustainability is not a fashion fad, it is a necessary change in one’s wardrobe to conserve the weakening planet. Elizabeth Banks proved age doesn’t mean your individual style has to conform to the conservative stereotypes of old Hollywood. She rocked the exact same red dress she wore to the Oscars after party in 2004. “It’s gorgeous and it fits … so why not wear it again?!” Banks told her instagram followers as she paired up with organizations such as the New Standard Institute that empowers brands to minimize their carbon dioxide usage.
