Red Carpet Fashion

The 2015 Teen Choice Awards took the red... ahem ... blue carpet by storm with the latest and greatest in 2015 fashion, and we're loving all of the celebrity looks! The lady celebs rocked everything from jumpsuits to two piece cocktail dresses to sexy lace numbers. They certainly know how to rock the trends, and we're not complaining because so many of the Teen Choice Awards outfit choices had homecoming outfit written all over them! Or, maybe we're just a little excited for the Homecoming 2015 season to finally be here... Either way, there are three looks that we are especially obsessing over because they are so easy to rock off the red carpet, too! Check them out below.

Vanessa Ray at the Teen Choice Awards

Pretty Little Liars actress Vanessa Ray looked so glam in a so on-trend crop top and flirty skater skirt (she's on the left side in the video above). The textured skirt with a more simple fabric top make for a perfect pair in this look.

For a similarly styled look, featuring a sweetheart neckline top with thin shoulder straps and a skater skirt, go with La Femme style 21244. Just like Vanessa's dress, it's texture paired with a more simple fabric, except it's just flipped in this look - a textured top with a silky smooth skirt! The top is encrusted with iridescent stones, and the full satin skirt features side slash pockets.

Last night was all about celebrating the theatre, because it was The American Theatre Wing's 2015 Tony Awards! The show was great from beginning to end, with mini performances from so many popular plays, and two hilarious and very talented hosts: Kristin Chenoweth and Alan Cumming. Of course, though, our favorite part was the red carpet! And, we were extra excited to see one of our favorite celebrities walking the Tony red carpet in style: Kendall Jenner!

Kendall forewent the traditional gown for a sleek and sexy Calvin Klein cocktail dress. The dress was peach colored and featured long sleeves and and open back - a perfect way to show off just the right amount of skin.

To get a similar look for your next semi-formal or formal event, there are three dresses that we're loving.

Jovani 9693

For a very similar cocktail dress that hits all of the major points of Kendall's Tony look - long sleeves, open back, high neckline, and textured fabric - go with Jovani style 9693. The multi colored sequin print on this dress will certainly have you stand out in the crowd just as much as Kendall Jenner did on the Tony's red carpet.

BG Haute G3304

For a little bit of a different take on Kendall's look, we love BG Haute style G3304. This pink cocktail dress features long sleeves and an open back like Kendall's dress, but instead of a high neckline, choose this dress to go with a v-neck and lots of beautiful sparkles.

Mac Duggal 61823

Or, if you love lace more than sparkles, go with Mac Duggal style 61823 to get a take on Kendall's Tony Awards dress. Featuring long sheer illusion sleeves, lace appliqué all over the arms and bodice of the dress, and sheer illusion sides, this is a dress that's definitely made to turn heads. The plunging v-neckline and open back shows off just the right amount of skin for a sexy look.

One of the most unique parts of Kendal Jenner's Tony's dress is the texture of her dress. Whether you pick the Jovani, BG Haute, or Mac Duggal dress featured above, all three dresses will give you a totally unique texture that are sure to have you stand out just as much as Kendall's dress.

The Met Gala is the one event that has been known for celebrities attempting to one-up each other for the best red carpet looks. It's held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, so it's completely understandable why this red carpet event would encourage more 'artistic' fashion looks. Every year, there's a theme based on an exhibit at the museum, and this year the attire is based on the exhibit, "China: Through the Looking Glass," which is all about the country's influence on Western fashion. Sounds like a fashion night to remember to us! And, it certainly was.

The red carpet fashion went to the extreme, like Sara Jessica Parker's fiery red headdress, but also kept things simple and classy, like Lorde's long sleeve velvety blue gown. One of our favorite looks of the night met somewhere in between: Miley Cyrus' dress! Miley has been known for her more controversial looks, but lately at red carpet events, she's been choosing some very classy looks with just the right amount of edge, and we think her Met Gala dress walks that fine line perfectly.

Miley wore an Alexander Wang dress with stunning crystals throughout, a high neckline, long sleeves, and deep cutouts that showed off the curves of her body. While we wouldn't recommend such a deep cutout dress for anyone but celebrities trying to make a statement on the Met Gala red carpet, the cutouts did balance out well with the long sleeves and high neckline.

For a similar sparkly side cutout look with long sleeves and a high neckline to balance it all out, go with Jovani 24039. Not only does it feature all the major points of the Miley Cyrus Met Gala 2015 dress, but it's got two extra details to bring the whole look together: a keyhole opening and a beautiful crystal adornment at the waist of the dress. It's definitely a dress that's not only worthy of prom, but of any red carpet event!

The Internet basically blew up this week when everyone saw what actress Lily James wore on the red carpet for the premiere of movie Cinderella. With a fairy tale like Cinderella that's all about the dress and shoes that the main character wears, transforming her on the outside into the princess that she is inside, it was of course without question that we were excited to see what the actress who plays Cinderella, Lily, would wear for the premiere of her film. But, with red carpet looks rarely ever holding the theme of the movie or event, we weren't holding our breath. Much to our (happy) surprise, Lily James looked exactly like Cinderella walking the red carpet for the premiere of the Disney movie! Check her out in all her beauty below!

The beautifully adorned dress dress by Elie Saab had Lily looking like she should be floating in the air! This red carpet look truly shows that she is Cinderella and makes us so excited to see the film. Plus, she wore Christian Louboutin high heels that basically looked like glass slippers. Could the outfit be any more perfect? Oh wait.. it can be... She even accessorized with a clock purse by Charlotte Olympia! Because... when the clock strikes midnight...

Lily James' red carpet look was so perfect from every aspect! Since it's such a unique dress (and accessories), this is one that's hard to copy for prom. But, we have your back! While there isn't an exact prom dress that mimics Lily's look, there are a few that take cues from it. And, there are even some shoes and purses that take cues from Lily's outfit! Check them all out below.

Dresses

Mac Duggal 62062 Long Sleeve Lace Evening Gown

Mac Duggal 62062 has lace applique embellishments and a modest bateau neckline that makes it so elegant and feel like it came right out of a fairy tale. Rock it in the Ivory/Nude color pictured above to get a color like Lily's dress. Or, it also comes in colors Aqua/Nude and Red. All colors will have you looking beautifully elegant!

Jovani 24008 Lace Ball Gown

For a ball gown style dress like Lily's, Jovani 24008 is a great option. It's a gorgeous strapless floral ball gown that features exposed piping details at the bodice and a lace applique adorned tulle skirt.

To get the elegant long sleeves in a ball gown like Lily, go with Tarik Ediz 92579. It's a vibrant ball gown that features a high neckline, lace illusion bodice, and a full tulle skirt. This has fairy tale written all over it!

High Heels

Eliza by Touch Ups Champagne Beaded Platform Shoes

For princess inspired peep-toe high heels, we love Eliza by Touch Ups Platform Shoes. This breathtaking platform peep toe pump is covered with stones and features silver satin material. The manageable 3 1/2 heel allows for comfort and stability throughout the night.

Danica by Sizzle Open Toe Pumps

Another Lily James red carpet inspired heel that we love is Danica by Sizzle Pumps. It's a beautiful satin D'Orsay pump with a soft bow decoration and a 3/4 inch platform and leather sole. Best yet, these shoes are on sale for only $60, originally $116!

Purses

La Regale 25550 See Through Clutch

 For a whimsical see through clutch inspired by Lily's clock clutch, go with La Regale 25550. It's a transparent box clutch with a shoulder chain. While it's shown in Emerald here, it also comes in Fuchsia and Royal.

The 87th Academy Awards wasn't all about the film stars. This year's awards ceremony was also about one of our favorite dress designers: Mac Duggal. The dress designer himself walked the red carpet in style at one of the hottest parties of the night, the Annual Warner Brothers Mansion Oscar Viewing Party. Not only did he dress some of the hottest stars of the night, but he was also there to walk the red carpet with his wife.

Mac Duggal and His Wife at the Oscars Viewing Party

That's not the only reason the 87th Annual Academy Awards were all about Mac Duggal, though. Many of the celebrities at the Oscars were wearing his dresses! The 2014 Academy Awards were undoubtedly completely transformed by his glorious designs and elegant styles. Check out some of the celebrities that wore Mac Duggal on the Oscars red carpet below.

Keltie Knight

Hosting the Oscars red carpet for The Insider, Keltie Knight looks amazing in Mac Duggal style 40380. In such striking colors of red and black, it's no wonder that this long prom dress is a red carpet gem!

A modest bateau neckline features an intricate design of silver embellishments. AB stones and silver sequins sparkle along the front and then trim the open back. The complex detailing of stones resembles both a sophisticated and classic designing fit for royalty. A sheer illusion bodice leads into a stretch jersey skirt and high leg slit on the side. Style 40380 a front to back gorgeous look!

More sheer illusion paneling is revealed along the sides with light amounts of sequins for an added touch of sparkle. We love this look for an after prom, homecoming, or New Year's Eve dress!

The 2015 Awards Season continues, and we're still obsessing over all of the red carpet looks! Last night was the 87th Academy Awards and it was certainly a night to remember. The show was amazing, but of course our eyes were on the red carpet pre-show. Check out our picks for Oscars 2015 best dressed below, plus how you can get these totally gorgeous looks for Prom 2015!

Scarlett Johansson

Actress Scarlett Johansson looks amazing in everything she wears. So, we were of course expecting to love her look. But, Scarlett stunned all on this years Oscars red carpet with a totally new hairdo! Scarlett was first spotted preparing as a presenter at Oscars rehearsals on Thursday in a pixe cut (with no makeup!), so we already knew that surprise was coming. But, her slicked back pixie cut hair and bold green dress and statement necklace wowed everyone. She must be all about surprises lately, between becoming a new mom (she welcomed daughter Rose in September), cutting off her hair for a pixie cut, and rocking such a bold Oscars look. We're loving it!

To get Scarlett Johansson's Oscars 2015 look for prom, go with Rachel Allan 6864. It's a fitted jersey knit with bead work around the neck and an open back. It's a great way to rock green and get Scarlett's statement halter top look.

Jennifer Lopez

Musician Jennifer Lopez has always been paving the way in the fashion world. At this year's Academy Awards, she went with such an elegant ball gown with the perfect infusion of sexy. The sparkly gold gown was so gorgeous and had her looking like a princess! The deep v-neck on the dress has been a small point of controversy as to whether or not it was a little too low, but we think it's a perfect contrast to an otherwise elegant gown.

To get a sparkly gold ball gown look like Jennifer, go with Tony Bowls 113513. It's a strapless sequin prom dress with crystal accents on a sweetheart neckline and waist and a full skirt.

For a deep v-neck look on a gold dress, go with Jasz Couture 4980. It's a long beaded chiffon gown with a v-neckline, beaded details, and cap sleeves.

Kelly Ripa

Talk show host Kelly Ripa always looks so cute and chic, and the 2015 Academy Awards was no exception. She's all about fashion forward looks, and with black being such a popular prom dress color this year, we were excited to see her in a stunning black ball gown. The sparkles add just the right amount of fun to a classic look, and the long train was so beautiful.

To get just the right amount of sparkle and a beautiful train like Kelly's dress, we love Sherri Hill 32084. It's a fierce and fabulous ball gown with a strapless sweetheart beaded bodice and long flowing satin ball gown skirt. If you love Kelly's look, but want to peruse other dresses, there are so many black ball gowns available for Prom 2015! So, just click the link in the previous sentence or do some searching on RissyRoos.com.

The Grammys 2015 Red Carpet were full of so many unique looks this year! From Kim Kardashian's golden plunging dress (bath robe?), to Gwen Stefani's funky jumpsuit, to Taylor Swift's high-low dress, the looks spanned the spectrum this year. All of the looks were incredible, but there four celebrity outfits, in particular, that we are obsessing over because they are also perfect looks for Prom! Check our favorite celebrity Grammys outfits below, and how you can rock them for Prom 2015.

Miley Cyrus

As everyone knows, Miley Cyrus is known for her daring, provocative looks. So, we were pleasantly surprised to see her dressed in an elegant black gown on the Grammys 2015 red carpet. Her black gown featured cut-outs all along the side of the dress, making it the perfect combination of sexy and classic.

Cut-outs are very on-trend right now, so this is one look that's super easy to copy for prom. Get her v-neck look with large side cut-outs with Sparkle 71454. It's a jersey gown with beaded halter straps that extend to criss cross the open back. Beaded trim accents the waistline to create side cut-outs, and a side slit and small sweep train finish off this sexy look.

For slightly smaller cutouts and a more simple, classic look, go with La Femme 21160. It's an elegant net jersey dress with a gathered bodice and cutout straps that connect in back.

Ariana Grande

Ariana is always all about looking cute, bubbly, and girly... and basically... perfect. Of course, the 2015 Grammy Awards red carpet was no exception! She looked like an elegant princess in her one shoulder white gown and signature pony tail.

Rock a white one shoulder gown with some sparkle like Ariana with Blush 9780. Beaded illusion rocks in this sophisticated, yet alluring dress. Sexy jewels rock this one-shoulder as it flows into a stunning sheer back. Another band of illusion diagonally drapes your figure creating a brilliant dance column.

For a more flowy white one shoulder gown with a touch of silver sparkle, go with Jovani 6919. It's a one shoulder chiffon gown with a sweetheart neckline and jeweled embellishments at the waist and neck.

Madonna

From music to fashion, at 56 years old, Madonna is still always about doing her own thing, and this year's Grammys proves it! The musician had all eyes on her as she confidently walked the Grammys red carpet in a short and sexy black lace and nude number.

Lace is one of the big Prom 2015 trends, and Madonna wore the trend like none other! To bring elements of her black lace and nude look into your prom or other formal event outfit, we especially love Tony Bowls TS11467. It's a strapless dress with slightly curved neckline, deep center V with illusion inset, boned bodice with lace appliques, and lace covered slim skirt. We especially love how this cocktail dress incorporates the corset look from Madonna's outfit!

To get Madonna's look with a little bit of fringe, we love Hanna S 27912. It's a strapless sweetheart Venice lace cocktail dress with heat set stone on the bodice and an Ostrich feather skirt. This is a great option to go a little more more on the fun and flirty side of Madonna's look!

To get Madonna's Grammys look in a more traditional long prom gown, go with Panoply 14659. It's a two piece short dress with a top that has cord beaded lace appliques on nude lining with an illusion nude neckline. The separate skirt has a satin waistband, and a corded beaded lace appliqued short skirt with a removable tulle back flounce skirt. This dress lets you go short and sexy like Madonna, or long and elegant on-the-go!

Taylor Swift

Last, but certainly not least, Tay! Taylor Swift is always a red carpet favorite, and the 2015 Grammys was no exception. She looked Taylor perfect in her ombre teal high-low gown! We especially loved how she matched the bold colored dress with even bolder pink heels! What a perfect color combo!

To get some green/blue ombre like Tay in your prom dress, go with La Femme 19467. It's a stunning sweetheart dress with a tiered high low skirt and ombre dyed fabric. The bodice features criss cross ruching and small iridescent stones trimming the neckline.

For more of a halter style top with an over skirt like Taylor's dress, check out Sherri Hill 9743. This sexy two piece dress features a chunky beaded bodice with a choker style neckline and a short beaded skirt with a soft chiffon over skirt.
