Stephanie Wenger, Digital News Writer:Lily Jameswas a showstopper for her first appearance at the Academy Awards. She was pretty in pink in a lace Atelier Versace dress. The gown — which is from the designer’s fall/winter 2021 couture collection — was form-fitting with a sexy high slit and flowing train. She completed the look with a diamond necklace, stud earrings and pink platform heels.ThePam and Tommystarlooked like a classic Hollywood bombshell and walked the red carpet with confidence and poise.

Kristen Stewart

Olivia Jakiel, Digital News Writer:In a world full of red carpet gowns, I live and die for a pant suit moment, or in this case — a shorts suit moment. Kristen Stewart’s daring head-to-toe Chanel look, complete with an almost-all-the-way-unbuttoned top and short shorts, was not only eye-catching (hello mile-long legs!), but felt very authentically and unapologetically her. Her rock-and-roll chic hair and makeup only added to that authenticity, and I couldn’t imagine a better dressed couple than Stewart and her fiancee, Dylan Meyer.
