Hello my lovelies,
The countdown to the Oscars is officially on! Have any of you watched the nominated films this year? Emilia Pérez, A Complete Unknown, Conclave, Nickel Boys, I'm Still Here, The Substance, Dune: Part Two, Wicked, Anora, and The Brutalist are all in the running for Best Picture. Yet, somehow, I haven’t been completely blown away by the selection. There were definitely standout moments, but overall, it feels like a slightly underwhelming year for cinema. That said, we’re here for the real event: the fashion.
While I won’t be gracing the red carpet myself (this year, at least!), it got me thinking—what would I wear if I had an invite? And more importantly, what are some chic, black-tie options that work beyond the Oscars, for weddings and those fabulous events creeping up on the calendar?
So, I’ve rounded up some dreamy gowns—some that will break the bank, others more reasonable but equally stunning. Whether you’re attending a summer wedding, a gala, or just love to fantasize about couture moments, consider this your cheat sheet to timeless, event-ready glamour.
