From Runway to Red Carpet

When we see haute couture on the runway, it’s often hard for us to see how ultra-glamorous or over-the-top designs would translate into our own wardrobe. Since typically only movie stars and celebrity-types get early access to these looks during awards season, we wanted to share some of our red carpet picks from Fall 2014 New York Fashion Week, then offer some suggestions to draw on the inspiration. Our version of “Fantasy Oscars” predicts that we may see these three dresses either on the red carpet this Sunday, or perhaps at the Vanity Fair after-Oscars soiree. Then, we found three more consumer-friendly, but still fashionista-worthy, dresses that are inspired by these designer looks, and styled them to prepare you for your own night of celebration. You may not get the coveted gold statue for your award-winning performance, but you’ll definitely be a winner in MSL’s eyes.
