As the most prestigious night in the awards season calendar, the Oscars attract not only the starriest of guests but is the pivot point for ‘the’ gowns. As the world’s attention turns to the most famous red carpet in Hollywood millions of followers will lust after couture Chanel and Atleier Versace; but what exactly do we predict will be big on the night? My days of pulling an all nighter just to watch the gowns and the stars –not to mention the all important awards! – are well and truly over; so here are my two very different gown choices from Kaleidoscope – the online hidden gem when it comes to occasion wear, they literally have a gown for everyone – for a very Hollywood look without the eye watering price tag to match…
The Oscars wouldn’t be the Oscars without a jewel coloured gown or ten, and why not – I love how the rich sumptuous green teamed with the lace create a timeless and elegant gown that is just as worthy of a prime spot on the red carpet today in 2016 as it was back in the glamour hey days of the fifties and sixties.
In complete contrast here’s a very fun and what some may say a little alternative – but I couldn’t resist the simplicity yet playfulness of this beautiful twist on a little black dress. The metallic gold underskirt keeps this classic silhouette very current without losing any of the glamour needed for the occasion. This would be perfect for the younger stars who are perhaps walking the red carpet for the first time.
Who else is looking forward to tomorrow morning? I’ll be enjoying a cuppa while I fawn over couture and see whether Leo has finally managed to nab an Oscar – c’mon – it’s indecent to make him wait any longer!!
