There’s no denying it, the glamouratti were in full swing at Sunday’s Oscars. While this annual star-studded spectacular event brings out the best in Hollywood glamor, the reality is that everyday fashionistas, like ourselves don’t strut down the red carpet in an Elie Saab dress.

We’ve compiled a list of Oscar inspired looks that you can wear to dinner, lounge, or an evening with friends. Choose one of these finds and look Oscar-worthy whether it is a school night or a weekend.
