What's the buzz in the fashion world today? If you did not see Oscars 2023: The 95th Academy Awards last night, you missed the en vogue fashion trends of the year but you could certainly see photos of the best-dressed celebrities on the news and in the newspapers. Fashion has always been " a major reflection of the times and a big part of Ameriacan history. Since the inception of the fashion industry, womenswear trends have always been driven by culture, events, popular music, and celebrity influence." (stacker.com) Since my teen years, I have been highly interested in fashion trends so what can be more exciting than watching the Oscars?
This year, both women and men were dressed in trendy, chic outfits. Gowns with underlying corsets dazzled the crowds. Sequins, crystals, and feathers adorned designer gowns with plunging necklines, dramatic diamond jewelry, pouffy embellishments, and long trains abundant. Men looked dapper in light-colored, dark, or textured tuxedos. What struck me was the confidence each star exuded. Their fashion statements were particular to their own style.
It is no surprise that celebrities have always set trends in the fashion world for years. Who remembers the pillbox hat made famous by First Lady Jackie Kennedy? But let's go back further in time to the mid-17th Century.
This was such a fun post! And love the glam outfit you chose
ReplyDeleteBring on the glam! Thanks for joining me here. If I knew who Anonymous is I would visit your slice.
DeleteLove this fashion commentary and description of your chosen outfit. So fun! Makes me wish I had a wedding to find an outfit for!
ReplyDeleteThere is always spring to jazz up our wardrobes.
DeleteBeautiful dress, Carol. Hope we get to see a picture of you modeling it. It is something how trends change throughout the years and also how some styles keep coming back. I know that Kathy's number 1 priority when choosing an outfit is comfort.
ReplyDeleteCarol, I forgot to change my name in the above comment.
ReplyDeleteBob, once you mentioned Kathy, I knew it was you. Thanks for the nod on the dress. I do agree that some styles do come back. Crops were probably a take-off on pedal-pushers. Midi-skirts made their return this year.
