The run-up to the Academy Awards was nothing short of fabulous. Several stars pulled out the big guns, rocking daring silhouettes, bold colors, and piling on the sparkle. Overall, it’s been a winning award season, but a few trends stood out to us as clear front-runners for the best red carpet looks with real world applications.
Color blocking has been hot for a few seasons now, but at this year’s Golden Globes the casual staple got an evening makeover that left us craving an occasion to step out in this modern look. Rich jewel tones defined this dressed up take on the trend that, along with playful tresses and minimal make up, makes for a must have date look.
For some face framing and outfit shifting detail, a bit of bodice embellishment is a can’t-miss award show inspired option. From the edgy to the elegant, a little shimmer adds oodles of interest to everything from an evening gown to a simple tee. Too busy to accessorize? Embellishment adds sophistication to an office look and transitions playful into happy hour.

It’s not too soon to let your winter style melt away into a blooming chic. Look for prints with darker backgrounds, and dabble in floral jewelry for a touch of spring.
