Most Glamorous at the 2017 Academy Awards

Angela Stone • Mar 02, 2017

Did you watch the Oscars on Monday? The Academy Awards are the most prestigious annual film event in the United States, and this year the 89 ^th ceremony was held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. I love the hype around the Oscars – seeing my favourite celebrities post pictures on Instagram as they prepare; watching the live stream from the red carpet and of course seeing all of the amazing talent exhibited onscreen and onstage in clips and performances.

As always, the Oscars brought out the finest fashion imaginable. Stunning gowns, sophisticated tuxedos, perfect hairstyles and gorgeous accessories were all on display as the stars walked the red carpet. I’ve handpicked my top six most glamorous looks of the night. What were your favourites?

Emma Stone

Taraji P. Henson

I love Taraji’s vintage velvet Hollywood style dress by Alberta Ferretti. The gown fits her perfectly, highlighting her hourglass figure. The off-the-shoulder fit and v-neck keep things classic, while the leg split adds a touch of flare. Matched with a simple black clutch, gorgeous diamond necklace and thing black stilettos, this is a look to replicate.

Nicole Kidman

Soft pinks, peaches and beiges were the colour of the night. Nicole’s soft peach Armani gown with sequin detailing turned heads and accentuated her slender rectangle body shape. The high neckline adds to this pieces’ elegance and impact. Adding more sparkles – but not too many – to the mix are Nicole’s delicate diamond bracelets. Juste magnifique!

Michelle Williams

She might not have won the Best Actress in a Supporting Role award for which she was nominated, but Michelle Williams was radiant in Louis Vuitton. The deep V gives this dress a sexy feel, while also emphasising her slim waist. The long, sparkly skirt adds a feminine touch and matches her short white-blonde hair nicely. Like our other fashion picks, Michelle opts for simple accessories which keep the overall look refined and classy.

Kirsten Dunst

Olivia Culpo

Actress, model and beauty queen Olivia Culpo was as radiant as ever in a striking silver number by Marchesa. The detail to the dress really makes it stand out, and the tassles create a streamlined effect. This is very feminine, but pulled off well. The think black blow and black clutch break the silver up nicely, and the simple addition of rings are a good choice. Olivia keeps her make upbasic and natural looking to avoid giving a cluttered impression.

Remember, all of these stunning celebrities enlist the help of professional fashion stylists when preparing for big events – and in some cases, on a daily basis.

May Newsletter 2023 Hi friends! Is your winter wardrobe in check? One thing people often forget to pay attention to is accessories, but this is such a fun way of dressing for the colder weather. These are the Winter Accessory Trends you should be aware of: Big scarves are in – and I mean big! Wrap it around your neck a bunch of times, or wear it like a shawl for a chic look. You’ll be cosier than ever! If you already have an oversized handbag, you’re in luck – this trend will be everywhere this winter. I love a coloured bag for a statement, and since red is hot right now, a large red bag is going to look extra chic. Own a pair of heeled boots? Time to bring those babies out. This season a stiletto heel is favoured over a chunky heel, but both are strong options and will keep your feet cozy. Love fashion and want to learn more? Join me on my next Fashion Stylist Course .
