As the highest critics of fashion, naturally the staff here at SMU Look has some opinions. Here are the SMU Look staff’s favorite looks from the 2022 Oscars red carpet.

“It gives me empress vibes. I love every single detail of her look. The sequins, feathers, and pleats add amazing movement to the dress. Her makeup and hair was perfect as it’s super simple and lets us appreciate the dress. To me this look is a 100/10!” -Atenas Vijil, Class of 2024

Everything about this look just works. Satin blouses have been such a trend lately and I love how glamorous it looks on the red carpet, especially with the sequin skirt. Zendaya always kills it.
