Three words: gaga for Gaga. This lady in white STUNNED in a Brandon Maxwell jumpsuit…but the word “jumpsuit” does not do it justice. This beautiful flowing ensemble featured a strapless sweetheart neckline tapering into palazzoo legs. The draping details on the bodice added just enough dimension while the sweeping train created drama. If there was one item I could afford to splurge on, it would be this.

Rachel McAdams was regal in emerald. Simply put, this August Getty Atelier gown is my kind of dress! When you are working with a solid color, the fine details become more important than ever. The dainty halter neck, princess seams, and thigh high slit were the perfect finishing touches. Although I would have chosen gold, the long delicate earrings and matching strappy sandals were spot on.

Alicia Vikander rocked the red carpet in a yellow Louis Vuitton gown, fit for royalty. The princess silhouette is the most forgiving on a small frame and that is just what she has got! The fitted bodice accented her slim waitlist, while the rest flared out into an asymmetrical full skirt. The silver beading created just enough pop and the coordinating silver shoes tied together the entire look.

Which red carpet looks were you swooning over at the 2016 Academy Awards?!

With ample warning of this event taking place, I made it a point to take my time and find a stellar gown that wouldn’t break the bank. There’s nothing worse than spending a lot of money on a fancy shmancy dress that you’ll only wear once. With that in mind, I turned to my go-to online retailer, lulu*s! The Sorella Light Blue Maxi Dress was priced just right ($205!) and in one of my favorite silhouettes. This gorgeous strapless gown features a sweetheart neckline, and princess seams down the fit and flare bodice. Available in ivory and light blue, to me, this simple yet elegant dress is like a blank canvas awaiting the right accessories. Although you cannot see them, I kept it clean and paired this stunner with matching lace-up sandals (as seen in last month’s post, A Crop and a Midi). Knowing I would style my hair to the side, in a 1940’s wave, I was on the hunt for a pair of sizable statement earrings. Leave it to Jest Jewels to carry just the right pair of vintage Miriam Haskell ear bling. These one-of-a-kind earrings were like the icing on a cake – the perfect finishing touch. To go along with the whole old school Hollywood Glam theme, I toted around my belongings in a gold box clutch purse.
