As a fashion editor, the Oscars is one of my favourite nights of the year. It's a rare occasion to see so many show-stopping outfits on display in one place, and the incredible fashion coupled with the real-time history-making equals a fanciful and inspiring night that I look forward to every year.
Whilst the elaborate haute couture and archive garments inspire the fashion-lover in me, I'm always on the lookout for key trends and silhouettes that I can try myself, and there were some major examples on the red carpet last night. I've scouted three wearable yet striking spring fashion trends that were worn by some of my favourite A-listers and will no doubt ripple into our wardrobes soon enough.
Read on to discover the Oscars 2024 red carpet trends we'll be wearing very soon.
3 TRENDS FROM THE OSCARS THAT WILL ACTUALLY IMPACT YOUR WARDROBE
1. PEPLUM SILHOUETTES
Style Notes: The peplum silhouette has had a makeover for 2024, and celebrities (including Oscar-winner Emma Stone) are here for it. Composed of structured fabrics, these elevated designs add a sculptural element to a garment that makes it perfect for red carpet dressing. This season, the trend is set to transcend the red carpet, having appeared on the S/S '24 runways at Alberta Ferretti and Erdem. Already scattered across some of our favourite high-street brands, we predict a peplum revival.
SHOP THE TREND:
Style with dark-wash denim for an unexpected twist on the double-denim trend.
The ruffled knit hem adds a glamorous detail to this knitted top.
Peplum has never looked so elegant.
2. PRETTY BOWS
Style Notes: We spotted the bow accessories trend saturate the city streets across fashion month, so a nod to the rising trend on the Oscars red carpet last night only felt natural. Appearing on subtle—and not-so-subtle—designs, the bow trend was big across the board.
SHOP THE TREND:
This bow-embellished top features removable straps that can turn it into an elegant strapless design.
In my opinion, this is the perfect party dress.
Dip your toe into the bow trend with a subtler take.
3. OFF-THE-SHOULDER DRESSES
Style Notes: Easy, elegant and ideal for event styling, the off-the-shoulder neckline was chosen by celebrities for its effortlessly glamorous silhouette. These striking dresses played up many a dramatic necklace on the night, but I also love to style an off-the-shoulder top with jeans or wide-leg trousers to bring an elegant edge to my casual day-to-day style.
