Party dresses are not what they used to be – This trend stood out from the crowd at the Oscars

The costume splendor of the 96th Oscar gala did not leave me cold this time either. In addition to the traditionally popular voluminous dresses, one party outfit trend stood out.

The gala evening of Hollywood’s most anticipated film industry was dazzled by spectacular party outfits. One dominant trend at this year’s Oscars was glittery and shiny dresses.

The showiness of the outfits came from the shiny shimmer of metal or satin. Some of the silhouettes of the dresses could be very simple in their lines: the main part had a shiny metallic surface.

Metallic clothes and glitter accessories are a trend that has also crept from evening wear to everyday wear in recent seasons, as we have written before: this trend is not going to subside.
