The Oscars red carpet always showcases fascinating fashion moments, and this year was no exception. It’s fun to daydream about wearing some of the celebrities’ ultra-glamorous dresses and jewels, but what if you could bring a little red carpet magic into your everyday wardrobe? We’ve taken some of our favorite standout trends from the night and created effortless, wearable outfits using pieces from Mae Threads. Keep reading to see how you can turn these glamorous styles into everyday fashion moments.
High Halter Neck and Sleek Silhouette
Felicity Jones and Ana de Armas both stunned in high neck halter gowns with sleek silhouettes. Ana’s Louis Vuitton dress was black with a jeweled lace neck, and Felicity’s Giorgio Armani Privé
look was a silver liquid organza. Sleek, simple, and shine are the words du jour for these gowns!
Take inspiration from these looks by pairing a simple silhouette—a high-neck top and wide leg jeans—with some glittery accessories. For the Mae Threads version of the look, we paired our Winter’s Eve Turtleneck with the Dundee High Rise Jeans. We added a necklace stack to give a similar effect to Ana’s sparkly halter, plus some subtly shiny mules to complete the ensemble.
Touch of Velvet
Scarlett Johansson, Isabella Rossellini, and Cynthia Erivo all wore luxurious velvet gowns on the Oscars red carpet this year, signaling the fabric’s resurgence in fashion. Cynthia’s unforgettable dress (Louis Vuitton) featured a bold, sharp sleeve and collar with a wide, rounded skirt. Scarlett’s look (vintage Thierry Mugler) showcased a soft cowl neck and matching opera gloves. And Isabella’s dress (Dolce & Gabbana) had a simple silhouette with a regal, asymmetrical cape. You can practically feel the lushness of the velvet through your phone screen!
There’s no reason to reserve velvet for red carpet events! We love our Sorellin velvet set for lounging with loved ones. Add some slip on sandals and a pretty headband, and you’ve got an outfit that looks and feels like luxury.
Rose Gold Moment
Selena Gomez and Ariana Grande both showcased the beauty of pinky metallic tones in their dresses. Selena wore a decadent champagne-colored gown by Ralph Lauren, and Ariana wore an amazing pinky-gold dress reminiscent of a tutu.
Our Selena- and Ariana-inspired outfit expands on the metallic pink hues of their dresses. We created a flowy, pink-tinted look with our pinky-brown Ferus Chevron set top under the Perry Denim Overall in Rose. Add some pinky-taupe sneakers and rose gold sparkly accents to finish the look.
Classic Black and White
Elle Fanning and Lily Gladstone proved that classic black and white doesn’t have to be boring. Elle wore a white lace gown with a romantic train, creating stark contrast with a black bow around the waist (read our blog post here to learn about how this color combo creates a dramatic effect with her fair coloring). Lily wore a square neckline reminiscent of a sailor dress, trimmed in intricate quill work, with subtle glittery accents all down the skirt.
Our black-and-white themed outfit features the Mavis Top in Black, the Cami Cropped Pants, and the Indy Sandals. Add a classic red lip, and you really can’t get wrong!
