Academy Awards dressing on a dime

The Academy Awards is always an important evening for fashion. Gowns and jewels fill the red carpet while every celebrity is asked “Who are you wearing?”

This year, most stars chose classically-shaped dresses with minimal jewelry. The understated outfits were appropriate for this classy event, but admittedly bored me a little. However, this allowed for the talents of these celebrities to stand out more than their ensembles.

Even though these stars wore outfits costing close to six-figures, there’s still a way to look like your favorite Hollywood starlet while on a college budget. Consider an actress-inspired look for your next dressy night out.
