Oscar Dress Card 2019

The Oscar’s were last weekend so you know what that means...Oscar dress card! We’ve counted down our Top 10 looks and number one has a card inspired by it. As usual, they are in no particular order; they are just 10 dresses that we like. Take a look and enjoy!

Jennifer Lopez-This was a super sparkly dress and I love super sparkly. It does have a high neck which I’m not a huge fan of, but this dress was just so sparkly that it didn’t matter. J.Lo’s after party blue dress was gorgeous too. It reminded me of a peacock in a good way. 

Octavia Spencer-A few years back Octavia Spencer’s grey-silver gown was our choice for a card  and this year her pick was beautiful and very princess like with the puffy skirt and off the shoulder neckline.

Lady Gaga-Lady Gaga’s awards dresses have been absolutely gorgeous. She opted for two black gowns at the Oscars and the second one when she sang “Shallow” was so Audrey Hepburn-like it was a perfect ball gown for her big night. 

Krysten Ritter-This was a very lacy form fitting dress with wide arms. You don’t always think of lace and red, but this deep red colour looked really stunning in the lace and the little bits of sparkle were just what the dress needed.

Tina Fey-We always gravitate towards blue shades each year and this year is no different. Tina Fey’s simple, flowy, royal blue dress was bright and cheerful and it was the perfect way to kick off the show.

Constance Wu-Last year’s card was inspired by a dress almost this colour and it’s on our list of favourites this year again. Constance Wu’s dress is so dreamy and fun that it just makes you want to smile and watch Crazy, Rich, Asians over and over again!

Marina de Tavira-This dress was a perfect shade of red. It wasn’t your basic strapless gown; it looked light and airy with just the right amount of frills and layers.

Helen Mirren-When first looking at this dress you can’t for sure tell what colour it actually is, but when you look at it from different angles you can see the pretty bright pink shade that it is. Poking out is the underlying coral layer. It kind of looks like a layered flower. It’s super flowy and simple; it doesn’t have lots of frills and bling on it. The colour and fabric took over for this dress. It's super fun and cheery and ready to ring in Spring. 

Regina King-The slit on this dress is amazing! It was high on our list for our card to make. It’s such a gorgeous gown that not everyone could pull off. It was paired with the right amount of jewels so as not to take over the overall look of the gown. The gathering on the side as well as on the bodice was beautiful and constructed to flatter the wearer of the dress. And that train...beautiful! 

Amy Adams – Ok, so our winner for our Oscar dress card is...Amy Adams. Both Nicole and I loved this dress. It wasn’t a straight across strapless gown; it had some shape to the top. The white and silver go so nice together and the sparkly silver patter just made the dress pop. So stunning!

Oscar Dress Card 2018!

Ok, so today is one of our most favourite posts of the year, yes today is Oscar dress card day. As you know from years past, we love taking our favourite dress worn at the Oscars and making it into a card. There are always so many beautiful dresses/outfits worn so it can be a difficult task, but we go through all of the dresses and look for one that inspires us and we create our version of it in card form. First of all though, we are going to count down our top 10 dresses. Some were quite close in the running for Oscar dress card of the year, so take a look at all these beautiful dresses and then take a look at our number one choice and the card we created. 

Our Oscar Top 10 Dresses, 2018: 

10. Ashley Judd – This dress is a very simple plum coloured strapless gown with a sweetheart neckline. Perfect if you want a simple classic look.

9. Allison Janney – This is simple yet not so simple dress. There isn’t a lot of bling or beading to it. It’s a plain red dress, yet it’s so elegant. The sleeves are what make this dress wow and stand out. Her sleeves are floor length with large slits for her arms to come out of. It’s almost like a shawl cape. I’ve never seen anything like it. 

8. Margot Robbie – There were a lot of classic white dresses this year. This one has some really pretty beading at the bodice. It could even be worn as a wedding dress. 

7. Leslie Mann – This is a princess gown dress. The red ball gown has a delicate flower pattern all throughout the dress. You don’t notice it right away because it’s in a shade that is very close to the dress colour. 

6. Molly Sims – Ok, so I LOVE this gown. It’s purplish silver with sparkly beads and a slit. I absolutely love the sleeves as well. 

5. Jennifer Lawrence/Gal Gadot –Metallic shimmery dresses were also another popular pick this year. These two stood out. Plus, it’s Wonder Woman! 

4. Helen Mirren – Again, this deep blue gown was so simple and sophisticated. The blue necklace is a nice touch to make this simple dress very elegant and chic. 

3. Allison Williams –This dress was a top pick for us and was almost our Oscar card. It is a nude blushy colour with cap sleeves, a puffy skirt, and really gorgeous intricate beading on the bodice. Again, this could be a perfect pick for a summer time wedding. 

2. Jennifer Garner – Some say it’s purple, some say it’s blue, but this is a stunning dress and colour. It especially looks nice with the dark brown hair that Jennifer Garner has. The one shoulder style is very flattering and the long flowy train makes it such a delicate Goddess like dress. 

1. Greta Gerwig – Ok, so our number one dress is this absolutely gorgeous canary yellow gown that Greta Gerwig, who was nominated for Best Director, wore. It’s a very straight sheath style gown with a v-neck and spaghetti straps, and it has these very dainty pretty flowers all over that had sparkles in them. The colour suited her perfectly; a very vibrant bright splash of colour. To top it all off, she finished the gown with a statement style necklace. Beautifully perfect!
