The Oscars brought stars' sparkliest looks yet

Updated

The Oscars are known for bringing out stars best and often boldest looks of the awards season. And while one of the most obvious trends of the 91st Academy Awards was "power pink," several stars also opted to shine (quite literally) in sparkly metallic looks.

Jennifer Lopez, attending as a presenter, donned a long sleeve body-hugging Tom Ford gown covered in silver mirror-like embellishments. The gown was so shiny that when it caught the sunlight, it reflected sparkles onto everything around her, as shown in an Instagram post by her hair stylist Chris Appleton.

Glenn Close, nominated for best actress, looked like a literal Oscar statuette in a long sleeve gold floor-length cape and matching gown by Carolina Herrera. She told Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet that the whole ensemble weighed 42 pounds and was covered in 4 million beads!

Michelle Yeoh of "Crazy Rich Asians" stunned in Elie Saab. Her gown was decorated with an intricate silver design that was concentrated on the dress' bodice and continued onto the bottom of her sheer beige skirt.

To copy the look at home, Marshalls' styling expert Melissa Garcia recommends wearing a metallic jacket or cardigan with denim. "I love the idea of incorporating metallic as a layering piece, this way you don’t have to commit to it for the entire day/night."

See these and the rest of our favorite metallic looks from the Oscars in the gallery above!
