Greetings from the Oscars better late than never!
Sorry for the late update life has been crazy with the start of spring but, I couldn’t just sweep the Oscars underneath the Red Carpet so here are the interiors fit for Oscar himself! After the Golden Globes I had too much fun taking the best dressed of the night and using the fashionistas to inspire interior design. With that being said, you can imagine how much fun I had watching and anticipating who would be wearing what at the Academy Awards!
Penelope Cruz
Penelope Cruz graced the red carpet in this stunning iridescent blue Armani Prive evening gown, fit for a princess! The soft blue color gives off the elegance fitted for a silk or velvet upholstered piece, and the metallic undertone can frame a dining room’s charm through the trim of a mirror or a dining chair.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Cameron Diaz
Gwynteth Paltrow wearing Tom Ford and Cameron Diaz in Elie Saab; monochromatic does wonders for these starlets from their hair color to their dress they both portrayed an effortless sense of beauty. This gorgeous simplicity can be reflected in the interior as well by using solid neutral fabrics and highlighting them with a simple embellishment or metallic finish. When I found this dining chair I fell in love with the marriage between fashion and furniture…it looks as if the chair is wearing a “backlace” (necklace worn on the back).
Judy Greer
Showing off her curves in this glitzy number by Collette Dinnigan, Judy Greer isn’t the only one who can use line and form to grab the attention of guests, but so can your entry way. A confidant is an ideal piece of furniture to shout “hello and welcome”, however, it often is forgotten about in most residence. Light up the room with a chandelier that uses line to excite the eye, making black and white more whimsical.
Anna Faris and Rose Byrne
Anna Faris wearing Diane von Furstenberg and Rose Byrne wearing Vivienne Westwood both draped the carpet in black sequins. These divas made black a bold statement just as black drapes can instead of framing your large windows open up the room. The Christopher Guy showroom used black wisely to make the silver metallic organic artwork standout in the gallery.
Maya Rudolph
Maya Rudolph proved to the Academy that she truly is a vision in purple which is why I had the most fun finding interior inspirations to match her look! Purple is the color of creativity and royalty which in turn is the perfect ingredient for a residential recipe. Consider a shade of purple on the walls or a rich purple fabric to upholster that wing chair you love so much that needs a makeover. Also, remember that your ceiling doesn’t have to be white so if you find yourself feeling ambitious… look up!
Sandra Bulluck
In attendance to the Academy looking like a Goddess in Marchesa Sandra Bulluck knows how to wear the perfect balance of black and white tones. Just like Sandra you can stay in your comfort zone of black and white while using geometry or organic shapes to enhance the look or add a little bling with nail heads.
Stacy Keibler
Stacy Keibler hit her stardom on the red carpet, taking the show away from date George Clooney in this gold Marchesa number. Make your room noticed with a splash of gold to glitter the attention; check out Maya Romanoff for unique and gorgeous wow factor wall papers that are not what you would see in your grandmother’s powder room!
Ellie Kemper
Last but certainly not least, I chose Ellie Kemper wearing Armani Prive for design inspiration that is RED ALL OVER! Indulge in red and indulge in your home, after all it is your palace isn’t it? Let red peek out in the places you would least expect such as behind a large piece of furniture or within an architectural nook, or get creative and spontaneous and add warm reds to your stained glass treatments as was done in this wine pantry.
Well, my friends until the next award show it is, but please remember the words of CoCo Chanel herself
“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”
