The Oscars are the ultimate dress-up game — a hyperbolic celebration of American glamour. We love watching, if only to live vicariously through the red-carpet lineup of tulle, sequins, slits, and baubles. Style-wise, it’s an event where most actresses play it safe, eschewing truly daring runway dresses for classic glam. And while most of us will not be heading to L.A. for the awards (or have the need for a full-length ball gown anytime soon), we’ve rounded up a selection of fake jewels, clutches, shoes, and date-night outfits to help you outshine every person at your Oscars viewing party.
