Nina Garcia Predicts Oscars Night’s Red Carpet Looks

There’s no denying this award season has left us filled with fashion envy, which is why we partnered with JCPenney and Nina Garcia, JCPenney’s style voice, to share how you can bring the looks home.

Nina Garcia knows that stepping onto the red carpet is all about making a statement. We asked her what she’s predicting for Oscars night, and she “foresees a lot of sheer fabric, bold colors, metallic shimmer, and muted midtones – all grounded with black, white, and silvery hues.” While this award season has seen a lot of these trends already, we should see the stars elevate their looks for the Academy Awards, but that’s not to say we can’t see some hot trends at the Oscars: “I’m also expecting to see the pantsuit trend hit the carpet this time around. As Emma Stone demonstrated at the Globes, a long gown isn’t the only option to get a captivating red carpet look.”
