Awards season is coming, awards season is coming! For movie buffs, it's the perfect time to essentially live at your movie theater and analyze each critically acclaimed contender. If you are a complete fashion nerd, these next few months allow you to geek out over red carpet dresses. "
Of course she'd wear the Elie Saab" and "Delpozo, why are you so beautiful?" are just two things style savants are bound to say. But in the (not-so) rare event you have a thing for both movies and fashion (
a la yours truly), Awards season is the perfect time to do all the fun, aforementioned activities
and gush over the on-screen ensembles.
In case you don't keep up with nominated films, let me give you a quick lesson:
American Hustle is one of the most buzzed about movies of the season. With an all-star cast-- Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper, and Jennifer Lawrence--
Silver Linings Playbook genius David O. Russell as director, and a criminal plot that is too juicy to ignore, don't be surprised if this flick takes home a slew of statues this season.
But unlike many cinema groupies, I have an additional appreciation for the movie: the clothes. Amy Adam's Sydney Prosser is dressed to the nines in Diane von Furstenberg wrap dresses, sultry low-necked frocks, and even some dangerously crimped hair. On the other sartorial hand, Jennifer Lawrence's Rosalyn Rosenfeld wears everything from salacious white dresses, to
Real Housewife worthy track suits, to eccentric fur, to retro prints. I know what you're thinking, pure bliss.

"Wait a second," you say as your inner fashion nerd rears its oh-so glamorous head. "A seventies revival sounds all too familiar."
You are right ladies and gent. If you recall, seventies chic was all the rage amongst top cruise collections. While
Gucci brought a healthy dosage of shimmer and lengthy hemlines,
Louis Vuitton returned retro glam to the average working woman. Let's not forget that
Emilio Pucci's cruise collection boasted the perfect printed maxi dress and
Chloé's Claire Waight Keller successfully infused retro trousers into a very nautical presentation. Is it just me, or are you also yearning for some very groovy time travel?
Luckily, we don't need to resort to the Saturday Night Fever days to unleash our inner disco queens (or kings). With a few styling tips (and some swinging pieces), you can rock a look that is equal parts modern and seventies-inspired.
You heard it from
Rachel Zoe, and you saw it in
Austin Powers in Goldmember, gold
lamé is the perfect way to revisit the gilded decade sans time machine. Don't have any gold lamé stored in your closet, and that Lanvin gold dress doesn't fit into your shopping budget? Opt for a shimmery gold dress. Add some spice to this look with silver accessories. Yes, style savant, it's okay to clash your metallics. As for your beauty routine, save the bold lip for a less extravagant ensemble. Complete this look with a messy updo and a slight smokey eye.
What do you think of this seventies revival? Sound off below!
