The most awaited event of Awards season is here, and with comes the possibility to celebrate some of the best talents in the film and entertainment industry. We are, of course, talking about the Oscars. The 93rd annual Academy Awards will be held this Sunday, April 25, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The glamorous event will be held in person which means that we will get to celebrate not only our favourite actors but their iconic looks too.
The red carpet is an essential part of the Oscars, for some, it may be just the beforehand of an incredible ceremony… but for us, here at Voir, it is an event in itself. It is the moment where we get to see our favourite celebrities and their fashion choices, innovative (or not) styles and flashing makeups. It is one of the moments every fashion aficionado looks forwards to throughout the year, after the met-gala of course.
Let’s be honest, not everyone can remember that the Godfather by Albert S. Ruddy won Best Picture at the 45th Academy Awards of 1973, but we can assure you that everyone remembers Cher’s appearance wearing a gold, jewel-encrusted Bob Mackie look. And that’s thanks to the power of the red carpet, and Cher of course.
We’ve already talked plenty about the dazzling list of nominee’s for this year’s ceremony, and we will probably continue to do so in the following days. But today we’re here to talk about the iconic looks that make the Oscars red carpet a landmark in the world of fashion.
