Academy Awards Style Inspiration

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UVA chapter.

Here at UVA, this time of the spring semester means midterms are either upon us or quickly approaching. However, Hollywood is busily preparing for the 89th Academy Awards ceremony, hosted this year by Jimmy Kimmel. While many of us will be sporting our finest yoga pants attire during this time, some of the world’s most glamorous celebrities are putting the finishing touches on their Oscar’s ensembles.  Admittedly, the awards ceremony is about so much more than what the stars are wearing. Nevertheless, it never hurts to wear something that makes you feel good and confident. Check out some of last year’s standout looks below if you are in need of a little study break or dream formal wear inspiration! While many of these pieces are definitely on the extra side of fancy, it doesn’t mean that you can’t incorporate similar colors, styles, or shapes into your own wardrobe. So here’s to dressing fabulously, feeling good, and looking forward to seeing what the stars will wear this time around!
