HOUSTON – Everyone is buzzing about what happened on stage at the Oscars last night, but we’re still interested in what happened on the red carpet. Of course we’re talking about the fashion. Dee Ware, style expert and founder of C.H.I.C. Shopping Tours, shared her take on the trends of the evening, and how to get the celeb looks for less.

Here are some general trends Ware observed last night at the Oscars:

  • Feminine long dresses
  • Black & White color combo
  • Cut out detail
  • Strong blazers with full skirts
  • Exaggerated sleeves

To get the looks, Ware shared 5 outfits, all under $100 from Tresor Cache and Zara, to replicate the trends for your closet.
