Red Carpet Style: Get the Hollywood Look

Hollywood is full of elegance and beauty, but nothing compares to the red carpet style of the Academy Awards. Although the live drama is great (um, who won best picture?), I can’t miss The Oscars’ pre-show glitz and glamour. When I was a kid, I always put on a fancy dress and a pair of my mom’s heels to watch the pre-show “dress parade.” As an adult, I prefer to watch Hollywood’s biggest event while lounging on the couch in yoga pants. However, I still follow all of the Oscars festivities. Besides, who can resist the siren call of Haute Couture gowns, millions of dollars of gemstones, and flawless make-up looks? Definitely not me!

As expected, the 2017 Academy Awards red carpet was full of Hollywood glamour. Most of the Hollywood elite played it safe in pretty, yet predictable, black or white dresses. On the contrary, a few show-stoppers like Janelle Monáe went for out-of-this-world ensembles. As for best dressed? I was swooning over Viola Davis’s crimson Armani gown and Emma Stone’s Old Hollywood-inspired Givenchy look. Plus, there was no shortage of inspiring beauty looks to copy this spring.

Hollywood’s awards season may be over, but it is not too late to get the look for yourself. The effort it takes to slay like one of Hollywood’s style queens is intimidating, but not impossible. Transform yourself into an award-winning beauty in no time with these amazing DIY red carpet style and beauty tips and tutorials.
