It's not often I get a chance to write a post about them but when Hollywood royalty hit the red carpet for the Oscars it gives me the perfect opportunity to write about the full length evening gown.

I've gone to Harpers Bazaar for their report on the 10 best dressed celebrities and tried to find similar gowns to give you an award winning look.

First up is Chalize Theron oozing glamour in Christian Dior. left.

​This fishtail maxi dress, above, is from the aptly named ASOS Red Carpet range and is also available in a beautiful emerald green.    

For a romantic, gothic  look Rooney Mara, left, opted for a stunning Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci gown.

Whilst it may not have the cut outs or revealing front split this Anna Sui maxi dress, below, has a similar feel but certainly doesn't have the hefty designer price tag. 

Available from www.veryexclusive.com I also love the LK Bennett 'Marla' metallic Mary Janes they've styled it with for a modern twist. 

Anna Sui Hearts embroidered maxi dress £455 

My personal favourite of the night was the gorgeous Margot Robbie who shimmered in this sophisticated sequin plunging column dress by Tom Ford.

It was difficult to find a long sleeve full length sequin dress that came close but no doubt it won't be long until a slew of copy cat versions hit the high street.

Until then this Ariella Venetia long sequin dress with fishtail hem, below, at John Lewis will fit the bill. Reduced to clear now at £129 and an online exclusive it's certainly a winner.

So both Victoria Beckham and Samantha Cameron have been spotted out recently in Adidas Stan Smith originals.

Victoria Beckham was promoting her more affordable and playful Victoria by Victoria Beckham AW16 range at her Dover Street store during London Fashion Week. In an interview with The Telegraph the high profile working mother admitted 'she can no longer wear heels.'

​No surprise there for those of us that don't have a chauffeured driven car at our disposal but refreshingly honest for someone who is synonymous with a towering heel!

See the slideshow for the Victoria by Victoria Beckham AW16 collection here. She also made her debut at New York Fashion week with her Fall 2016 Victoria Beckham line. See more from the Daily Mail here.

I love my Adidas Mi Stan Smiths and have recently swapped to grey laces as you can choose 2 options when you customise your own.

J.Crew Teddie pant £89.50

There are a few trouser styles that will dominate this season, including the voluminous wide leg trouser, velvet evening trousers and, the now mainstay, culotte but I think the most versatile and wearable will be the kick flare crop.

According to ASOS 'everyone at New York Fashion week' were wearing kick flares. Click here to read more.  

​So I've picked my top 5 styles with J.Crew's Teddie pant a clear favourite, shown above. Made in a cotton blend, which they claim won't bag out, and 7 great shades to choose from it's a must have update for your smart casual working wardrobe. I love the dusty pink shade which will team effortlessly with a nautical stripe, as styled here, or a chambray blue shirt or navy blazer.

​For more of J.Crew 'Looks we love' and 'Spring 10' feature click on the links here. 

For a more affordable cotton blend trouser look at Mango's version above at £35.99, available in black or off-white.

If you want a jean then there a few brands to choose from like the Weekday Mid rise kick flare crop above left, available in black from ASOS or for a dark denim this Whistles jean, above right, is selling fast and low on stock online. so snap them up quickly!

If you only wear designer denim then the 'Le High' cropped slim leg jean from Frame denim is the style for you, seen below at Net-A-Porter.
