Fashion Inspiration: 20's The Great Gatsby

The Highly anticipated film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby" had hit the theatres in Thailand last Thursday!! I too look forward to watch the movie! As I love this novel so much and I have been a huge fan of Baz Luhrmann since he directed Romeo+Juliet in 1996; and last but most important, I have long been obsessed with 20's fashion!! I even dream of having a 20's revival themed wedding...how about that ?! lol

Talking about fashion in the film, Oscar winning costume designer, Catherine Martin has teamed up with Miuccia Prada to create 20's inspired costumes for The Great Gatsby.   Those gorgeous drop waist  flapper dresses with intricate beaded, fringe, feather, and sequin detailing. Not to mention pearl necklace and others sparkly accessories and  head pieces<3 Seriously, I never get bored talking about romantic fashion in the Jazz era. That's why I am leaving you with some of the amazing The Great Gatsby inspired fashion photos to get you inspired ;)

Kerry Washington looked incredibly beautiful in miu miu coral number with a shimmery bodice. This was absolutely one of the best dress of the night alongside Amy Adams (Oscar De La Renta), Naomi Watts (Giorgio Armani), Anne Hathaway (Prada), Amanda Syfried (Alexander McQueen), and J. Law (Dior Haute Couture)

Did Oscar winners Jennifer Lawrence and Anne Hathaway have started a new trend?!

Big stars like J. Law and Anne Hathaway proved that the way they wear accessories can make a unique style statement! J. law was seen wearing a long Chopard diamond necklace backwards.

  I really love how she made it look very old Hollywood kind of way!!  Anne Hathaway who was also spotted wearing similar trend. She draped for a shorter but bolder Tiffany & Co necklace, which was equally elegant!

Both Oscar winners made a similar style statement on the red carpet, opting for pale gowns with backwards necklace.

Hope you enjoy this Oscar red carpet recap! I am so into this backward necklace! How about you girls? Let me know what do you think of the backward necklace trend!

Have a nice day!
