When we come to look back at the surreal, strife-torn,
and turbulent times we’re living in, what will we see reflected back at us in
the mirror of fashion? Of all the improbable things, I’m banking on the
emotional solace of the million and more spangles the designers have literally
sprinkled all over the shows, from New York to London and Milan and back.
Saying yes to the defiant and optimistic shine of
sequins, glitter, and glamour that lights up the night and keeps us coming back
for more.
Fashion, of course, must always reset its compass by
how we’re feeling. When fashion offers the chance to get ourselves up in
fabulous spangles-if just for a disco-minute-it says that we are not defined by
our troubles: We will defy them.
Those thoughts echoed in our minds as we were
entertained by the razzle and dazzle of old timely gorgeous centrepieces.
When we think about the Oscar’s, what comes to mind
rather quickly is the acceptance speeches, the timeless style, and of course
iconic moments.
Margot Robbie's Oscar Performance
This weekend, the show will come alive with plenty of
incredible scenes. What is defiantly most anticipated about the show is what
stars will be wearing.
The most coveted Oscar performance look, was this gold
sequin gown that was draped over Margot Robbie. She resembled this timeless
goddess, rocking this electric dress by Tom Ford, that looked identical to the
award itself. Dripping in liquid gold, with an ethereal type complex, she
looked so radiant with an old Hollywood glamour.
There’s a myriad of reasons and historical echoes
behind this fashion firework display, but I think we can trace it back to the
great style icons of the decades. The actresses that come to mind with this
chic display, are the likes of Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly.
Trying The Trend Out
Decades later, emerging with a gold-platformed,
sequined-hot-playful vengeance. In these glam-rock moments, fashion lovers on
the streets are loving this golden revival.
While stars like Robbie, may walk the red carpets in
spangled couture, glitter and glam, fantasy are becoming courageous, uplifting,
and defiant.
Just in case, you’re interested in finding out how to
incorporate glitz into your wardrobe so you too can be Oscar worthy, defiantly
stick with the classics.
If you wish to try out a dress, then make sure it is
shiny, yet wearable. Don’t overload on the accessories, think natural and easy.
The dress will shine through all on its own without being overly dressy.
A full on dress can be somewhat intimidating so go
with a one-piece design instead.
The number one style that everyone is going mad over!
Has to be a metallic gold pleated skirt. This pleated skirt has been around for
several seasons, and each time it is styled in a new way, making it ever more
appealing and a show stopping staple piece. A golden skirt is an exception,
that is now the perfect piece to go from desk to dawn with simple accessory
changes.
My favourite idea about this look is how anyone can
get away with adding some femininity into their wardrobe without having to
sacrifice a little edge now and then.
Still feeling unsure? You can keep it easy and
effortless, by sporting a long sequined coat, like Gigi Hadid does while
turning heads in her glitzy ensemble that has a dressy yet casual feel. She
defiantly knows how to make an impact at Milan Fashion Week.
As we look forward to seeing all the a-list stars take on the red carpet. We will defiantly be scanning their looks to see a glimpse into their retro influences with a bit of glitter attached. Here’s hopes to sparkles flying this weekend.
