Apparently the Oscars Dress Code Was Business Formal This Year

With today's top fashion trends revolving around things like light academia, goth business casual, and black dress pants, it makes sense that the Oscars red carpet would be full of looks that fit these aesthetics. At the 2022 awards shows, celebrities turned up in their sharpest, structured outfits, many of which involved staples like white button-down shirts and modest, floor-length maxi skirts.

Although we wouldn't necessarily arrive at the office in Zendaya's super shiny ensemble, or rock Kristen Stewart's Chanel hot pants suit to a meeting, we definitely got a business formal vibe from these actress's outfits — with an elegant, and kinda-sexy spin. Take a look at what we mean, ahead.
