The Craze: Walk Your Own Red Carpet

The Craze is a trend report bringing you the latest (and, duh, the greatest) in beauty and styles.

After watching the Oscars last week, mainly for the red carpet, I got excited for spring cocktail dresses. Some of my favorite looks were from Gwyneth Paltrow, Natalie Portman, Reese Witherspoon and Scarlett Johansson. Take these looks, neutrals and magentas, belts and bands, and pick out some rocking cocktail dresses for spring.

Below are some of my favorite cocktail wear for this season from BHLDN, Anthropologie’s new bridal shop. I know, a “bridal shop” isn’t exactly where you go looking for cocktail dresses, but BHLDN has some great looks that are sure to getting people talking at the party. Yes, they are a bit pricey, but are worth it, right?
