Oscar Ogling
Posted on February 28th, 2016
It’s Oscar Sunday! So let’s chat.
I am actually pretty into the movies themselves, so I make a point to see every Best Picture nominee, and usually a few others as time/money allows. But in the interest of honesty I definitely admit to being quite excited by the fashion, too!
I think part of what makes Oscar fashion so incredibly special is how aspirational it is. Let’s face it– there is literally nowhere I’m going where I will get to wear that kind of dress. Probably ever, in fact. I went to a black tie gala event night, and even there most women are in knee length dresses or the occasional long column gown, but nothing like the ornate ballgowns we drool over on the red carpet. I am able to look, admire, and dream without even having to entertain thoughts of “oh, this would be a great look to try to imitate, how can I build it into my wardrobe?” A stress-free fashion experience.
So needless to say, I’ve done my fair share of admiring over the years, so I put together a gallery of some of my favorite looks: (click to enlarge)
As for my own Oscar plans? They’ll probably look something like this. If Ellen accepts my invitation.
