9 Dazzling Dresses from NYFW That We Want to See at the Oscars

Fashion week has us dreaming that we’re floating across the red carpet in a new glitzy, and totally glam dress every night. Thankfully, the Oscars are here and we can pretend we’re schmoozing with the leading ladies of Hollywood in haute couture. Here are our favorite dresses from New York Fashion Week—and who we think should don them during the most important night of awards season:

1. Erin Fetherston for Emma Stone


One of our favorite redheads is nominated this year for Birdman, and we think she’d look fabulous is this dreamy floral number!

2. Marchesa for Keira Knightley


Keira wore some pretty Plain Jane outfits in The Imitation Game, but she’s nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role so we think she should turn up the glam in this fun party dress.

3. Michael Kors for Meryl Streep

Meryl’s nominated in the same category as Keira for Into the Woods. This MK number is perfect for one of our favorite powerful women in showbiz. 

4. Jenny Packham for Lupita Nyong’o


We are still talking about how A. Maze. Ing. Lupita looked last year at the Oscars and TBH, we probably will never stop. She may not be nominated this year, but she is presenting, so why not wear this gown to match her heart of gold? #rolemodel

5. Jenny Packham for Rosamund Pike


This dress is KILLER and so was Rosamund in Gone Girl (see what we did there?). She may not be favored to win Best Actress this year, but we can’t wait to see what she wears!

6. Carolina Herrera for Reese Witherspoon

This regal dress floated across the runway beautifully on Karlie Kloss’s 6’1″ frame. Reese Witherspoon is a whole foot shorter but we think she could carry this dress just as well as she waits to snatch up the Best Actress Oscar for Wild.

7. Zac Posen for Julianne Moore


Julianne’s acting was chilling in Still Alice. This emerald color would be so flattering on her!

8. Kate Spade for Chloe Grace Moretz


This darling dress will dazzle on Chloe Grace as she presents.  

9. Zac Posen for…


Alright collegiettes, we struggled with this one. This dress is simply divine. We’re just not sure who’s worthy of working it this year on the red carpet. Who do you want to see in this fabulous frock tomorrow night?
