Be Inspired by Marisa's Oscar Style When Looking for Your Wedding Dress

Marisa Tomei's one-shouldered Versace white dress had an elaborately pleated skirt and long train. If you had given her a bouquet of flowers, you might have thought you were her wedding, rather than the Oscars red carpet.

Her one-shouldered gown might have itself been inspired by the one-shouldered white dress that Michelle Obama wore to the inaugural balls, and which I also thought looked like a wedding dress.

If you're looking for a wedding dress inspired by Marisa Tomei's Oscar fashion, consider a more simple accordian pleated skirt, which won't weigh you down as much as this heavy dress will. Or go for the glamor with a couture gown by Chanel or Issey Miyake.
