Movie Star Style
Despite an abundance of preshow turmoil, the 91st Academy Awards happened Sunday night and the Earth is still spinning on its axis. What have we learned? First, all that angst about having no host was for nothing; it was fine. Second, Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga have mad hot chemistry. Third, fashions in clothing continue to influence and be influenced by fashions in home decor.
Take a walk with me down the red carpet for a look at how the sartorial choices of your favorite stars can be adapted for your home.
There were lots of variations on pink:
