The Oscars—the most anticipated award ceremony of them all—took place on Sunday night, leaving a host of event-dressing inspiration (worthy of its own trophy) in its wake. From Cara Delevigne in a cognac Elie Saab dress to Kerry Condon in a canary-yellow strapless gown, the pervading theme was ‘classic elegance’ with each star’s favorite color seemingly taking the style lead. The good news for us? Whichever Oscars-inspired look you invest in now will be a hero in your closet for many seasons to come.

Why We Love It: This flattering all-rounder never goes out of style and always leaves the wearer looking their best.



The Look: Silver

As Seen On: Malala Yousafzai.

Why We Love It: While metallics bring the wow factor, silver is something of a classic. Think of it as a neutral—with a little sparkle.
