‘Tis the season to dress to impress!
Here in L.A., we take ‘award season’ pretty seriously. And if you have the pleasure of attending one of the city’s many hosted ceremonies, we want you to spend as little time possible searching for the perfect outfit. (Maybe all of the saved time can be put towards advocating the lack of representation – but we’ll save that for another article!)
Regardless of which show you attend, thousands of people on the carpet and at home will “ooo” and “awe” at all of the marvelous ensembles showcased throughout the event, so looking your best is a must! That’s why we’ve gathered a list of five of the best places to find a dress this year.
