82nd Annual Academy Awards: Red Carpet Trends For Less

TAGS: THE LOOK FOR LESS, 82ND ANNUAL ACADEMY AWARDS, OSCARDS, RED CARPET TRENDS

We always have fun watching the Oscars and especially enjoy scoping out the red carpet for trends that can provide inspiration for real-life bridal looks. Our favourite screen sirens did not disappoint us last night as they showed up in fabulous gowns that ranged from ultra-modern and sophisticated to princess styles with dramatic silhouettes. There was something for everyone at this year's 82nd Annual Academy Awards.



With our budget-friendly finds you'll have star-worthy style on your big day without breaking the bank.



Trend #1: Simple Structured Bodice


Kate Winslet looked sophisticated last night in her sleek silver gown. A structured / architectural style bodice looks modern, clean and ultra chic. This type of bodice looks equally flattering when paired with a slinky curve-hugging skirt or with a fuller a-line skirt.
