And the Style Oscar goes to…………………..

If like us you were glued to the stars of the Silver Screen lastnight at the Fashion Extravaganza of the year – also known as The Academy Awards - and more to the point were anticipating, oohing, ahhing and ‘what was she thinking!’ in no particular order then here’s a little recap of our personal faves as well as some award winners of our very own!

The stunning and ever stylish Penelope Cruz found her vintage Pierre Balmain dress several years ago at a boutique called Lily et Cie. Says Pene: “I thought, some day I will come back and get this dress for something very special. And I came back to the place and I asked for the dress and it was still there and it still fit. So I do have a love affair with this dress,” Cruz explained lastnight.

This gorgeous dress paved the way for other white Oscar dresses that looked like wedding gowns although we think Pene’s was the worthiest of taking the aisle – oh and picking up the Oscar for best supporting actress was a little bonus to her evening too…

Amy Adams wore red Carolina Herrera accented with a multi-colored collar necklace by Fred Leighton –a little ott on the diamonds love - but totally loving this classic red-jewel tone satin gown –so elegant and timeless. See the Perk Up! Nights in Red Satin underneath which could make any girl feel like an award winner!

Alongside Amy we have last years best actress winner Marion Cotillard in classic Dior – a piece worthy of best supporting frock we think! And if you want to recreate that winning feeling in a more wearable version – not to mention affordable – check out our Party Sparkler below.

So until next time girls, lay out your own red carpet at home and strut your stuff Hollywood style in a fab frock -hairbrush come Oscar in hand - a sure-fire way to Perk you Up!
