We're getting ready for the Oscars this Sunday! As part of the fun, we're taking a look at the five films nominated for Best Costume, and giving you the inside track on how to get the look. Check it out!
You say you want a revolution? The breezy look of the lovestruck teens in Across The Universe reflected the sweeping changes in America during this coming-of-age musical told through the Music of the Beatles. Evan Rachel Wood's fair (bland?) features made the perfect blank canvas for the texture, bright colors, and billowy motion of 60s and 70s-era clothing. For a breezy look of your own, try this cute (and WAY flattering) gauzy top from Lane Bryant for $39.50. Put it all together with flat-ironed hair or crazy texture, and weathered denim jeans or a cute denim skirt cut close to the body to offset the ease of the top.
Natural makeup and beaded jewelry are always a good idea when you wanna be retro, and don't forget a shaggy-haired boy with a beat-up military jacket (like this one at Gap for $98.) Let love rule!
