Fashion Moment: 2013 Academy Awards
I love film, but let's face it - I watched the 2013 Academy Awards for one thing and one thing only: the fashion. And Jennifer Lawrence's fall was just the cherry on top. I tuned in early just to watch the gorgeous gowns celebrities walk the red carpet.
Many of these beauties gave me heart palpitations and filled my brain with visions of future wedding gowns. I also feel a lot of these gave us a glimpse of wedding dress trends to come. Let's take a look shall we?
First up, the girl of the night - J. Law. In my eyes, she can do no wrong. She's beautiful, talented, and seems like such an independent spirit.
The fit and shape of this Dior gown is pure perfection. I love drop waist gowns, and they are perfect for Jennifer Lawrence's figure. It's classic, and just right for the Oscar winner. Do I love the patterned fabric or huge train? Meh. But both worked for her, and I anticipate seeing more drop waist gowns in the bridal world soon. Personally, it's a shape I'm looking forward to trying on. I feel it's a good fit for curvy girls looking to accentuate the curves, but still be feminine and not too sultry.
Next, the original Jenn - Jennifer Aniston. I think this red Valentino ballgown was stunning on her.
I love that this is a modern take on the ballgown. The straight neckline is very on-trend right now (see my homegirl J. Law above). My only critique with this look is the hair. I know it's Jenn's signature, but I would have love to see her try out something new. Bridal fashion has moved more towards mermaid and fit and flare gowns, but hopefully the two Jenn's can influence a moment back towards modern ballgowns - they don't always have to be princess/cupcake-esque.
This rose gold Armani gown on Jessica Chastain may have caused me to squeal. Out loud.
The color, shape, design - it's all just so so wonderful. I could see a gown like this making a huge statement at a wedding. It's different, but jaw-droppingly gorgeous. This could also make for a stunning reception/party dress. I'm seeing a modern NYC wedding, perhaps a ceremony at The Highline followed by a reception at one of the Rockefeller Center venues or a downtown loft ala Tribeca Rooftop. Sounds like a good time, huh?.
Last, but not least, I have to talk about Kristen Stewart.
I love Reem Acra and I think this gown had so much potentional. I wish it fit her better, and was more dramatic on the bottom. Or less? Where it stands now is in the middle - uncommitted. It's like the bottom couldn't decide to go for Oscar glam, or be laid-back elegance. It's the Oscars - always go for the glam! Either way, I could absolutely see this lace and nude gown going down the aisle. Without the dramatic bottom it would work well for a simple ceremony under the Brooklyn bridge. If the bottom was really amped up for maximum wow factor, this would be a beautiful St. Patrick's cathedral worthy show-stopper of a gown.
There were so many gorgeous gowns on the red carpet, but these four really stood out to me. Anyone out there agree? Disagree?
XOXO
