My Oscar Dress Choices

I’m starting to see some great red carpet dresses on IG and recent runway shows, and had a bunch of screen shots saved on my phone, so I thought “Why don’t I just do a post about what I’d want some of the actress nominees to wear?” I had a LOT of fun pulling these looks together! Without further ado…

Rose Byrne in this amazing Monique Lhuillier I am obsessed with. I couldn’t decide on Elle Fanning – I love the Tiffany high jewelry necklace of the second outfit (Valentino dress – obviously with NO red tights or shawl), but the first dress better (also Valentino).

For Teyana Taylor I LOOOVE the idea of her in a leopard print like this Elie Saab (could leave the shawl and just do this insane Louis Vuitton bib necklace!) or this drapey beaded Elie Saab. For Kate Hudson, I think she looks amazing in dressed up boho looks, so either of these Elie Saab gowns would be BANANAS. For Emma Stone I could SO see her in this Jenny Packham jeweled sheath dress with short sleeves (her short hair would look perfect). But I also could see her go full femme in this incredible Monique Lhuillier!

I think this Valentino (NO GLOVES!) would be SO SO good on Jessie Buckley, especially with turquoise sculptural earrings. And this black and cream ballgown by Carolina Herrera would look so striking with a red lip and big diamond earrings. I am fully obsessed with this look for Amy Madigan (again, Monique Lhullier)- I love the sheath style with the modern tunic style embellishments. Add a really amazing statement cuff and BOOM!
