Fashion Week to Oscars World

After the fever of London Fashion Week, our spike heels barely touched the ground before we were catapulted into the delirium of up all night, full on, Oscars glamour. With this speedy turnaround, it was comforting to find a link between these major events in the form of peplums. Very popular at both New York and London Fashion Week, here's a few examples Burberry's AW12 'Town and Field' collection.

Providing good structure and hiding a multitude of sins, peplums are a gift for adding curves and defining waists. Here at Get Waisted we have all the skills to create a silhouette that's right for you.


Crossing over to the Oscars, both actress Michelle Williams, and comedienne Tina Fey, sported this trend with elegance and style. Tina wears a custom made, midnight blue, Carolina Herrera, gown complimented with a slick up-do and statement drop earrings. Michelle opts for orange, tiered, Louis Vuitton, perfectly complimented with her modern crop, 30 carats of stunning choker necklace and a bow brooch pinned to her waist. 


Other stand out looks for us on the night were the curve accentuating dresses worn by these two voluptuous ladies. J-Lo, shimmered in a very daring Zuhair Marad gown with a plunging neckline. Dressing to all her strengths is Octavia Spencer in a Tadashi Shoji, sunray, beaded oyster gown, all feminine elegance and classic style.


Harder for mere mortals to pull of is this Gwyneth Paltrows look, an all towering column of blondness in this caped Tom Ford number. Our other bronzed babe of the night, Cameron Diaz, looked effortless in Gucci with fire-flash sequins rising from the hem, she manages to pull off subtle and sexy all at the same time.


Keeping with the metallic theme, Meryl Streep sparkled in a Lanvin, draped gold lame gown, with earrings to match, while George Clooney's date, Stacy Keibler, looked striking in this sculptured, off the shoulder, Marchesa number.


Our final mention must go to Glenn Close. We salute her choice of colour, dark green being an unusual red carpet choice. Her hour glass Zac Posen, gown with a tuxedo style jacket manages to be bold, sultry and sophisticated.
