Get Inspired By The 2010 Academy Awards Red Carpet Glam



Whether you were able to tune into the 2010 Academy Awards or if you missed it, here’s a quick recap of some of the night’s hottest looks. As I highlight three of my favorite trends, see which looks inspire you to pull from the red carpet straight to your closet.
The first trend I noticed a lot of on the red carpet was shades of nude.




Right now most of us are in that transitional stage of buying a new wardrobe: out with the dark, in with the bright and bold colors to complement the warmer weather. As you’re making your way through the stores preparing your spring wardrobe this year, give the pastel palette a try, with blushing pinks and ivory nudes. It’s a sophisticated, chic way to glam up your wardrobe.

The second trend I loved is the texture found on some of these gowns. From these looks, you can get a sense of ways to add texture to your own wardrobes. Cascading ruffles, pin tucks and pleatings are just some of the things to spot on jackets and tops. These small details on a great jacket can spice up your ordinary basic tee and jeans when you are out on the town. 






Lastly, don’t be afraid of the metallics, sequins and beading! While sometimes beading can get too heavy and dramatic, look for pieces with small amounts of these details as accents. Accessories like handbags and shoes are a great way to fit them into your wardrobe without looking like a dancing queen in sparkling gems. So as you make your way out into stores to shop for spring, keep some of these trends in mind. You may not be out buying gowns like this, but you can easily pull inspiration from some of these looks to glam up your style.
