Bringing Oscars Glam into your Everyday!
I’m sure you all, like me, were drooling over the couture on the Oscars red carpet yesterday.
But, something I always wonder is how to take that glamour and translate it into something a bit more.. wearable. Something we ladies can rock on at home, out on the town or just into the office tomorrow. Because why should we only shine for red carpet events?
So, I’ve taken my top style pics from the A-listers who graced Hollywood last night and transformed their looks into style we can copy without feeling costumey.
First up, and one of my favourite looks of the night: Kate Hudson in a stunning [plunging] Versace gown and cape in silver. The element that I LOVE about this look is the cape, but this can be hard to pull off, especially in a look at me colour like shimmering silver.
I would shorten the length and look for a great coat in a textured fabric like wool, perfect for the Autumn change in temperature. We love this cape from Warehouse.
Next up, Matthew McConaughey and Camilla Alves in a Dolce&Gabbana suit and Gabriella Cadena gown.I think that these looks can BOTH be transferred to the everyday. Yes, Matthew’s too!
Try picking that beautiful baby pink (OPI’s ballet slipper is perfect) colour for your next mani. It’s a great neutral and matches with everything.
Grab a structured white blazer with black trim to get that classy “tux” look. Pair it with waxed jeans or little shorts, and a great heeled boot for a look that will take you from meeting on Friday to cocktails with your girlfriends.
Sandra Bullock wore a stunning grecian style Alexander McQueen gown, and Amy Adams shined in a structured Gucci number, both hitting high notes in a rich cobalt shade.
This colour is not for the shy, and can really dominate your outfit if you let it. Try breaking up the colour by picking a textured envelope clutch or a statement necklace with various cobalt tones. Pair it with other jewel tones, perfect additions for your fall wardrobe.
And last, but not least, Lupita Nyong’o. Her ethereal blue Prada gown is SO stunning it doesn’t need to be adapted at all.
DSQUARED2 does a lovely draping in a similar colour and the result is equally as stunning. It reminds me of a modern day Cinderella.
Perhaps not for the everyday, but hey, we all need a good ball gown for that special occasion don’t we?
So don’t be scared to turn your Red Carpet lusts into shopping list must haves! It can be done, get creative! Fashion is all about having fun and making a bit of a statement with your everyday wardrobe.
