Special Occasion Dresses Steal the Show at the Oscars

special occasion dress nyAnne Hathaway’s dress selections at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards were stellar.  She added style to the Oscars in her special occasion dress choices.  Fashion fanatics look forward more to the red carpet arrivals than the show itself.  The latest special occasion dresses and gowns adorn the carpet for the whole world to see.  Special occasion dresses complete with feathers and décolletage line the red carpet.

The Academy Awards is a time for fashion to take center stage.  Special occasion dress choices are sometimes right on the money and other stars choose gowns that are unflattering to say the least. 

Jennifer Hudson, for example, chose a dress that did not compliment her body type.  In fact, the dress was distracting because of the lack of support on top.  Halle Berry, on the other hand, wore a special occasion dress that was a perfect match and accentuated her body type.

Women need to be in touch with their bodies.  Special occasion dresses should be selected based on making them look as beautiful as possible.  Most women at the Oscars have stylists to help them select special occasion dresses and give them advice on hair and make-up.  Unfortunately, most women who are not Hollywood actresses have to rely on their own insight when selecting a special occasion dress. 

Other winners at the Oscars include Mila Kunis and Jennifer Lawrence.  Cate Blanchett’s special occasion dress takes the cake for worst dressed.

Honeysuckle 18-2120

honeysuckle 18-2120It’s official!  As reported in a previous Blake and Company wholesale special occasion dress blog, the color gods have spoken!  We broke the news here on December 3rd, 2010 in our special occasion dress blog: The color of the year is Honeysuckle!  This announcement came by way of the Pantone Color Institute.  It is no joke – the Pantone Color Institute has arguably the largest influence in selecting color trends for fashion.  You can be sure that the mother of the bride dress designers and special occasion gown designers are already at work to be the first to release their honeysuckle lines.

To people in the know, it’s no surprise that honeysuckle is the 2011 color of the year because at New York City’s Fashion Week the reddish-pink honeysuckle made its way up and down the catwalk several times as models strutted their stuff in honeysuckle special occasion dresses.

Pantone Color Institute is a good place for special occasion dress designers and mother of the bride wholesalers to go check out what colors are expected to be big in the upcoming season.  According to Pantone’s Leatrice Eiseman, the honeysuckle color is associated with energy and the essence of hope.  The color is meant to not only inspire special occasion dresses, but the fashion world and the public in general.

It’s not only special occasion dresses that will be produced in honeysuckle, but you should also be on the lookout for honeysuckle scarves and accessories to hit the shelves in 2011.  And don’t think that Honeysuckle will only last through the spring… it will surely last past spring and into summer.  Look for honeysuckle to be paired with white for an alternative summery look.  Honeysuckle and earth tones will take us into fall 2011 and then by winter we’ll be ready for Pantone to let us in on the color for 2012.  Here’s a tip for all you special occasion dress industry people – pay close attention to New York City’s Fashion Week and see which color makes the grandest appearance – it may provide a clue as to what the next color of the year will be.
