The 88th Academy Awards | Favourite Looks

The internet has been buzzing over the past few days with news regarding the recent 88th Academy Awards: 'Mad Max: Fury Road' and their astounding 6 wins out of 10 nominations, Stacey Dash's unexpected appearance, Leo winning his long-awaited, well-deserved Oscar (when we found out, everyone around me leapt up and started cheering, I kid you not)!

Between Chris Rock speaking out on diversity, Lady Gaga's beautiful performance of 'Til It Happens to You', and Jacob Tremblay's utter adorableness, stars showcased all sorts of beautiful gowns on the red carpet. Here are a few of my favourites!

1. Hannah Bagshawe and Eddie Redmayne in Alexander McQueen

Honestly, when have they ever disappointed? By this point I am probably biased because they have appeared in many of my favourites, but, to follow Scotty P's mantra, I have "no ragrets". Like last year's ceremony, they came, posed, and conquered. Hannah Bagshawe always manages to amaze me with her effortless style, and enough can't be said about Eddie Redmayne in a tux. They are everyone's couple goals, and true Hollywood royalty. 

2. Alicia Vikander in Louis Vitton 



I'm not a big fan of warm colours, but this is something else. Alicia Vikander totally rocked this twinkling LV creation, giving off sunny vibes on the red carpet. While the bubbled high-low shape of the gown says 'princess', the embellishments take it to another level. I have yet to watch The Danish Girl but after watching the trailer yesterday, I am determined to do so. Congratulations on the Best Supporting Actress win!

3. Saoirse Ronan in Calvin Klein

First, a very necessary PA: Brooklyn is incredible and you need to see it. Now back to the look.

Saoirse Ronan is devastatingly gorgeous, especially in her custom Calvin Klein. Everyone has been comparing her to the Little Mermaid, but I like to think her more of a glittering, Slytherin-esque goddess. If looks could kill, hers would slaughter you like a basilisk (ayyyyy). From the sheer skirt you can see that the sequins are arranged in a swirly pattern, reminiscent of the backdrop of van Gogh's 'The Starry Night'. Very, very nice!

A short but sweet compilation of my favourite looks from the Oscars. What were your favourite looks of the night?




Lots of love! xx

The 87th Academy Awards | Favourite Looks

Hey there!

It's unusual for me to do a midweek post, but early this week The Oscars took place and there are many things to talk about! I know, I'm a little late on this but better late than never, right?

Wow. There were so many gorgeous looks on the red carpet that night and I am in awe of all of them. Different people stunned in a variety of dresses and tuxes, and the admiration is real. How are they all so beautiful?! I'm not too familiar with all the designers and their pieces showcased during the show but I'm just going to roll with it. Here are a few of my favourite looks!

1. Chloe Grace Moretz in Miu Miu
Chloe, of course, is on my list. Normally a floral pattern like that can resemble curtains, but with that cut she rocks that dress! And that ear cuff? YES. She adds an edgy touch to her overall modern vintage look. Love!



2. Dakota Johnson in Saint Laurent
I thought her dress was a really pretty piece. It had a slightly prom-y feel to it, but was sophisticated at the same time. I liked how she kept makeup and accessories minimal; the focus was on the jewels and the sharp neckline.

3. Emma Stone in Elie Saab
Lately I've been seeing a lot of Elie Saab on my Tumblr dashboard and all the designs are amazing. It's no surprise here that Emma Stone looks absolutely beautiful (when does she ever disappoint?) and I love the fun orange of her her lips paired with the slightly green-tinted embellished piece.




4. Eddie Redmayne and Hannah Bagshawe in Alexander McQueen
I am absolutely in love with Hannah Bagshawe's dress! The cut of the dress is simple but the embellishments take it up to a whole new level. Eddie Redmayne compliments her perfectly in a midnight blue tux. #onfleek #relationshipgoals

By the way, can we just talk about how adorable Eddie Redmayne was when giving his Oscar speech? AWWWWW!


5. Lady Gaga in Alaia
Very Glinda the Good Witch-esque, I think, but in a fabulously sleek way. Her 'The Sound of Music' tribute was incredibly executed and I enjoyed it very much.

On a completely different note, Lady Gaga's trumpet tattoo fascinates me so much. It's so edgy and cool, yet classy and elegant. 


I have so many more favourites, like the very suave Chris Pratt, Viola Davis in her Zac Posen piece, and Zoe Saldana's nude Versace dress, but if I continue on I will never be able to finish this post; and to think, there are still the Oscars after party looks! Anyways, I'm no fashion critic but very nice looks from the red carpet this year. 

I truly enjoyed writing this post; a nice little birthday post for me to write today! Today's my birthday and I turn 15 this year. Thank you to all the lovely people who wished me a happy birthday; I hope you all have a nice day :-)




See you later! x
