The Academy Awards, commonly known as the Oscars, are not just about honoring cinematic achievements but also about showcasing the glitz and glamour of the motion picture industry. Fashion plays a significant role in the event, with stars carefully selecting their outfits to make a lasting impression on the red carpet. Fashion designer and stylist Stephany Greene shared her expertise on the behind-the-scenes efforts that go into creating the perfect Oscar night look.
Greene discussed the trend of ‘method dressing,’ where actors pay homage to their characters by choosing outfits that reflect the essence of the roles they played. She predicted that stars like Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, who have been accused of method dressing by channeling the visual vibe of ‘Wicked,’ may opt for black, pink, green, or gold gowns by designers such as Valentino, Versace, and Vivienne Westwood at future Oscars.
Crafting an Oscar red carpet look is a meticulous process that involves staying in shape to fit into designer gowns, scheduling fittings, testing lighting and poses, and selecting the most flattering outfits that represent the intended image. Fashion stylists play a crucial role in coordinating the entire process to ensure that the celebrities make a memorable impact at the prestigious event.
