Oscar [Dresses] So White - Fashion Recap

On or off the red carpet, #OscarSoWhite... White dresses that is. The 88th Academy Awards are officially in the books. Since the nominations were announced about a month ago, the lack of diversity was featured in headlines day after day after day. The red carpet was no different.  Take notes Brides, here are some wedding-aisle worthy dresses from this year's biggest award show. Unlike this year's Oscar nominees, there are plenty of color that deserves some shout-outs. Bridesmaid dresses inpsiration? I say, why not! Here are my top fashion picks from Hollywood's biggest night of the year!

Goo Goo for Gaga

This American Horror Story Emmy-winner did not score an Oscar win tonight but this pant-suit, dress, with a classic Hollywood-look sure did. It's nothing short of what we would expect from Lady Gaga.

Chokin' Wilde

Jason Sudeikis' other half looked stunning in this Greetian, pleated dress. The choker was a perfect, bold touch to this angelic ensemble. Google the back side of this dress and you are in for a big surprise!

G is for Gorgeous

Stunning. Simple. Giuliana slayed it with this simple, yet perfectly embellished dress. Loved watching her during the red carpet, but was still confused about the seemingly odd styling of the watch. Samsung product placement fail?

Gladiator Goddess

Corset and a slit? What else could we ask for? This strappy set would be a perfect reception dress. This ‘Scandal’-ous dress would sure turn some heads if worn at the altar!

Classic Hail or Fashion Fail

Although the lace, subtle slit, and eye-catching details added a classic feminine touch, many are still left confused about Mara's dress choice. Hail or fail, this dress is worth mentioning.

The Winner

Top choice for a bridesmaid dress goes to this royal blue lingerie-esque beauty. The length and ruffles are flattering and the conservatively-cut neckline is yet playful. This look left no "Room" for fashion faux pas.

Belle of the Ball

Embellishments are definitely a theme of the night. This Best Actress Winner in a Supporting Role was indeed a winner in our fashion book. The minimal accessories balanced this styling perfectly and elegantly. They could call her "Mellow Yellow" and that would be quite alright.

Baby Bump Alert

Let’s be “Blunt” about this look – it is chic, ethereal, and stunning! Pale pink is another rarity in this year’s Oscar’s fashion color scheme, but the embellishment department sure did receive the memo! The beading of this angelic piece is perfectly placed. Expecting Matron of Honor or Bridesmaid? This flattering, chic style inspiration is for you!

Lady in Red 

Va - va - voom! Red is such a bold color for this plunging-neckline dress. But, there are no rules in fashion! If bold is what you’re looking for, brave on Bridesmaids! Red is a symbol of good luck in Chinese culture so this bold and beautiful dress would be perfect for a Chinese wedding. But let’s not discriminate our single wedding guest… Rock this dress and you may get lucky yourself! Talking about meeting a fellow single wedding-goer here. #score

The Golden Girl

Whether you’re a Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, or Sophia, there is no need for an Oscar statue if you’re already wearing it! It’s such a risky move to wear a gold dress in roomful of Oscars but it worked! We may find this look on worst dress lists of 2016 Academy Awards, but the bridal party matriarchs constantly win in golden style.
