Emma Roberts in Vintage Giorgio Armani at The Oscars

EMMA ROBERTS ARRIVES AT THE OSCARS® IN VINTAGE GIORGIO ARMANI GOWN & ATELIER SWAROVSKI FINE JEWELRY AS PART OF RED CARPET GREEN DRESS INITIATIVE

Red Carpet Green Dress celebrity partner, actress Emma Roberts (“Scream Queens”) showcased a form of sustainable fashion when she arrived at the 89th Academy Awards® wearing a classic Giorgio Armani gown from his very first Prive’ collection. The gown was accessorized with exclusive pieces from Atelier Swarovski Fine Jewelry. This is the first time vintage fashion has been put under the spotlight by Suzy Amis Cameron’s eco-conscious cause as a solution to help better the environment.
 
“Red Carpet Green Dress is always researching ways to help improve the planet and the lives of others,” states actress and environmental activist Amis Cameron. “As a culture, we are inundated with messaging of wanting and needing the latest ‘new’ product. But by recycling gowns, we are making the ‘old’ new again and finding the beauty that already exists. It is an important form of sustainability.”
 
The spaghetti strap couture dress, which originally debuted in Paris in January 2005, is embroidered with cream crystals and waves of small white jet beads featured in a two-tiered skirt. The dramatic plunging bodice is made of jet and black crystal teardrops and is completed with a black satin cummerbund at the waist. 
 
To complete the head-to-toe look Emma Roberts wore exclusive created diamond pieces from Atelier Swarovski’s first fine jewelry collection. Inspired by nature and driven by science, Swarovski brings conscious luxury and innovation to the red carpet with the Atelier Swarovski Fine Jewelry Collection, handcrafted in a Parisian atelier and featuring Swarovski Created Diamonds and crystals.  Swarovski Created Diamonds are grown in a state-of-the-art lab and have the same optical, chemical and physical attributes as mined diamonds.

To qualify as a Red Carpet Green Dress eco-conscious garment, each piece must either be made from recycled, organic or repurposed materials, use handmade detailing or incorporate natural dye processing. All resources focus on an environmentally and socially responsible design with a minimal negative impact on the environment.
 
For the 2017 Oscars-inspired campaign, Red Carpet Green Dress partnered with Atelier Swarovski and Earth Friendly Products, maker of ECOS™ Laundry Detergent to help raise funds for MUSE School CA. MUSE School CA is an environmental non-profit educational organization Amis Cameron founded in Calabasas, Calif., with her sister Rebecca Amis. The financial assistance enables students to access a transformative educational experience. MUSE School CA ensures small class size, personalized instruction and learning practices; all set within an inspiring and beautiful campus. Through these key elements, MUSE School CA paves the way in creating leaders of the future.

The Oscars Red Carpet 2015

The 2015 Academy Awards red carpet brought all the glitz and glamour that we love. Everyone was so polished, dapper, pretty and chic. I didn't like everything but hated nothing! I loved Reese Witherspoon's Tom Ford dress but didn't care for the hair. Lady Gaga was a stunner in Alaia but the gloves made me thing of "Rock Lobster" for some reason. Lupita dripped in pearls, gorgeous. Julianne Moore came dressed to win. Felicity Jones wore Alexander McQueen and while I absolutely adored the pearl-embellished bodice, I felt there was too much dress happening. Marion Cotillard was so chic and so very French. Scarlett Johansson rocked an edgy hairstyle but I'm not feeling the statement necklace. On the other hand, Cate Blanchett's Tiffany & Co. statement necklace paired with the simplicity of the Margiela gown was a winner. Ponytails ruled the red carpet as well. Dakota Johnson's was youthful as it should be and Jennifer Lopez's was classy and refined. Most of the men looked fantastic too. I'm glad that they are finally being asked who they are wearing - hey it matters! Eddie Redmayne, Common and Neil Patrick Harris (and his one thousand changes) scored and A+ However, David Oyelowo should have not been so matchy-matchy with the red on red on red. This was the Oscars, not high-school prom. Jared Leto is no longer hot. Shave the gross beard! And poor little Kevin Hart, super funny and talented but tacky as fuck. Now, what about Viola Davis! She was so beautiful! I just loved her with the dark lip, natural hair and in Zac Posen.

Well there you have it. Overall, it was a super fantastic Oscar red carpet and a very engaging Academy Awards show from fashion statements to political ones. Make sure and check out the photo gallery and tell me who your faves were!

Pharrell in LANVIN Oscars 2014

Pharrell Williams and Helen Lasichanh

Pharrell Williams wore half a tuxedo to the Academy Awards. He's in the forefront of men's fashion -- Such a trendsetter and I love it, BUT I don't for the Oscars. I like to see an edge for women but for men, it needs to be classic all the way. Pharrell's tailored Lanvin 1/2 tux would have been perfect for the CFDA Gala or the Met Ball. Switch out the bow tie with Jared Leto's and he's off to the Grammys.

This was the Oscars --The biggest award show of all of them. You're a grown up Pharrell, where are your big boy pants. Love you. Mean it!
