It's Oscar Time!

The Academy Awards are the highlight of the award season and probably one of the biggest celebrity red carpet events. 

For decades we've been intrigued by the glamour and glitter of Hollywoods celebrities as this is "THE" event where all the stops are pulled out!

In anticipation of Sunday nights 2017 red carpet I thought I'd show you some photos that we think would completely slay it, even today:

Who needs dresses slashed down to the navel and up to the high... I wanna see something old school!

1947 Christian Dior

1955 Pierre Balmain

1951 Christian Dior

1951 Pierre Balmain

Jane Wyman 1953

Hollywood actress, Loretta Young, knew a thing or two about adding red carper oomph!
She wore this green showstopper to the Oscars in 1948. Talk about making a statement!
The other photos below show Loretta Young in a series of incredible evening gowns that she wore on film.

If, shock horror, you find yourself invited to the Oscars with NOTHING to wear then here are some of our uber glamourous vintage looks from Dirty Fabulous!

Steal Her Style: Dress like Grace Kelly!

1950's pale green floral satin brocade cocktail dress

1950's faux python box bag with gold enamel clasp

1950's Weiss crystal large brooch 

A lady who needs no introduction; Grace Kelly will always be the epitome of style and the original inspiration for #STYLEGOALS!

Throughout her career Kelly's wardrobe remained classic, chic and lady like. She was never brash or bold in her clothing but was always absolutely flawless in appearance. She is one of the most revered celebrities for her natural flair for fashion in a time when style assistants hadn't been invented!

Yo can shop our Grace Kelly inspired pieces by appointment in our beautiful boutique or on Open For Vintage

Cathy Davey wearing Dirty Fabulous Vintage on The Late Late Show Jan 6th

We are absolutely huge Cathy Davey fans here in Dirty Fabulous so we were chuffed to bits that she wore Dirty Fabulous vintage on her recent appearance of The Late Late show.

Cathy wore a stunning black velvet hourglass gown with rhinestone neckline and chiffon draped shawl. It was paired perfectly with one of our crystal embellished headpieces.

The whole look was very Old Hollywood!

Love it!!!

Vintage Wedding Inspiration

If you've decided that a vintage wedding dress is for you, you may want to look to the glamour of old Hollywood for inspiration.

Above is just a selection of the gowns adorned by starlets from the 1920s to the 1960s. Each one is so different from the next and this is one aspect that makes a vintage wedding dress so special.

When choosing a style, it should suit your own individuality and also reflect the overall feel of your big day. Do you want to dance the night away in a 1950s tulle prom dress or would you prefer to ooze elegance in a 1930s satin gown?
