Oscarmania part 2

You can't talk about the Oscars without the queen herself. I absolutely love when an actress opts for something other than a haute couture gown. There's something powerful about it. Lanvin once again creates this great ensemble. A great combination of classic pieces each with a unique flare. The skirt is sleek and sultry with the slit. The belt brings us from sleek to flowy with the top. All this paired with a great blazer. I like that it is larger and longer to connect to all the pieces. I usually love some dash of colour when it comes to a black+white outfit, but I think the difference in shades of black compensate well for it.

Red carpet is my favourite part of the award shows. The fashion choices of Hollywood's elites excite me. Such amazing looks this past Academy Awards, two posts are needed.

First: Dakota Johnson in Saint Laurent.

Red gives that fiery, sultry look; even more so with the side slit. But yet, this dress has sweetness with the candy apple shade. I like the bits of creases at the mid and upper portion. The one shoulder silver strap takes it from just a red dress to something more red carpet worthy.
