2017 Oscar Red Carpet Trends

Before the La La Land/Moonlight fiasco, it was the fashion that was stealing the show! Here are a few trendsĀ I noticed while watching Hollywood’s biggest stars walk the red carpet!

Simple Silhouettes

This was seen among quite a few stars. Sleek simple silhouettes is a huge trend right now. It really helps keep the focus on the wearer’s curves, hair and makeup. It accents it rather than overpowers the other elements. These silhouettes provide a nice timeless feel to any look.

Embellishments

Beading, fringe, lace, silk, feathers…it was all here! These elements added interest to otherwise generic dresses. I even got a hint of some flapper influence in some of the dresses which I thought was a fresh take on the popular 1920’s style.

High Neck Lace Gowns

I was pleasantly surprised to see multiple actresses wearing this type of dress. It’s a great way to make a statement and show some skin while still staying covered.

White + Cream

There were some dresses as seen above that were full of color but there were also quite a few actresses that chose to keep it fresh with a light cream or white dress. It’s such a timeless look and adds so much elegance.

For the most part the men stayed in traditional black and white but there were a couple that stood out! Who knew a blue tux could look so good? Riz Ahmed that’s who. Pharrell was standing out in a more subtle way. He followed the ladies’ embellishment lead and added some extra interest to his bow tie.
