#4 Fashion Reporter's Language


"Oscars Red Carpet Review: Princesses and Sirens, on Parade" -Matthew Schneier


Starting from the get-go Matthew Schneier lays down the plan by describing the silhouettes as "their massive ball skirts"  hence princesses to "strut in dresses sleek, slinky often high-lit" regarding mermaids.

Some of the details he mentions are the "classic bow tie and studs" uncomfortable shoes which are a classic. He also mentions clutched evening bags, feathered dresses and white sequined dresses.

Gotta say my favorite part was reading about the colors, well the play on words. "An optimistic Oscar gold" as well as Black on Black, which is personally feel might be the wave. Also peachy  and flash of color seemed to pop out throughout the article.


 When it came to menswear he pointed out how "most men wisely embrace a policy of decorous restraint. A foray into navy from basic black was as far as many men dared" which I don't necessarily agree with. Mostly because I usually see the same boring Navy Blue or Black suit matched with white button down. Although it wasn't many some actors tried to switch it up this time, as did Mahershala Ali in black on black
