Oscars 2021: How to recreate the best looks from the Academy Awards on the high street
IF like us, you’re looking at the Oscars 2021 best dressed lists with envy, we’ve found how you can steal their style on a high street budget.
With stars including Carey Mulligan and Zendaya hitting the headlines for their expert satorical choices, here’s how you can get the look.
Whilst the Oscars themselves were a more subdued, socially distanced affair, the fashion was not.
From Zendaya’s custom Valentino bright yellow gown, to Carey Mulligan’s incredible gold sequin two piece – also from Valentino, Vanessa Kirby’s pale pink corseted Gucci number, Amanda Seyfried’s dramatic red dress, or Margot Robbie’s embellished silver gown from Chanel, we’ve fallen in love with a number of looks.
We’ve picked out some of our favourites, and the best high street finds below, so you can get Oscars Academy Award glam on a budget.
Cut out

Cut Outs were a key trend at The Oscars this year, with Zendaya and Vanessa Kirby both sporting the trend.
A subtle way to show some skin without feeling too exposed, it’s a trend you can easily recreate at home.
Look at cut aways under the bust, or shoulders to keep things wearable.
