The Oscar award ceremony is not only one of the most prominent film award ceremony but also one if not the greatest fashion show of any fashion season. It features a red carpet representing a runway where fashion designers showcase their work.
The glitterati, dressed in lavish and deluxe styles pose for the paparazzi who then later publicize their content, sometimes in an unprecedented manner, completing a fashion show’s cycle.
And as we await both events this day, more people are looking forward to the sidekick fashion show than to the award ceremony itself. Perhaps we also need to award Hollywood for its fashion achievements.
