Oscars 2022: From Mila Kunis in Zuhair Murad to Zendaya in Valentino, Here Are The 10 Best Dressed Celebrities At The 94th Academy Awards
Hollywood reserves its most extravagant looks for the finale of awards season…
The decision of what to wear to the most prestigious awards ceremony of the year is a complex one and it involves weeks, if not months, of planning. The stars must gracefully glide into the Dolby Theatre while passing through a sea of photographers, reporters and excited fans. They must even make it through the discerning eye of the 360 Glam Cam. There is little, if no margin for error.
As a visual form of communication, fashion is an essential element to the makeup of one’s persona; in Tinseltown – where the unforgiving lens of the media and fashion critic is focused at all times, it comes down to the image that is projected of who you are and what you stand for.
Fashion and film have been inextricably linked for decades (think Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly). At the Oscars, an actress could be catapulted to stardom overnight and it is important that she be aptly dressed for the occasion. For attendees, the night is not about film promotion, it’s about self-promotion and what they choose to wear makes a deliberate statement on how they wish to be perceived by the world.
The question of “who are you wearing?” is one of the most important queries a celebrity will be asked while he or she walks the crimson carpet, stepping into an awards ceremony that celebrates artistic excellence of all kinds – including the art of dressing.
