In T minus four days, the biggest (figuratively) and best (in the academy’s opinion) night in Hollywood will go down at Los Angeles’s Kodak Theatre for the 84^th Annual Academy Awards. We know y’all have a viewing party planned, and if you don’t… well, get on it! Need some inspiration? Our list of oddly-inspired party favours should do the trick.

Let’s get this party started! »

If having an Oscar red carpet moment is any indication of a designer (and a celebrity designer at that) making it, then Victoria Beckham has definitely made it. The perennially best-dressed Charlize Theron, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Cameron Diaz are reportedly seeking the designer’s flattering, fitted wears for Hollywood’s biggest night.

A secret source told the Daily Mirror that, “Although it’s a great place to be in, Victoria’s been working day and night to keep up with demand.” So, what will the A-list be wearing? Check out our best guesses!

Word: Sangfroid

Meaning: Coolness and imperturbability in the face of difficult things.

Usage: “They looked like everybody else, nondescript. They shared in the torpor of the town and in its puerile agitations. They lost every trace of a critical spirit, while gaining an air of sang-froid.” — Albert Camus, The Plague

It’s that time again! Oscar has spoken, and the nominations are in. Although we would’ve liked to see Tilda Swinton, Elizabeth Olsen, Kirsten Dunst, Shailene Woodley, and Charlize Theron be part of the Best Actress hoopla, it’s probably on Meryl lock anyway. We combed the Pre-Fall collections (with one couture exception) and plucked the gowns we think Oscar’s Best Actress nominees should consider for February 26. Let the countdown begin!
