Here are 6 red carpet fashion trends from the 2017 Oscars you'll want to try right now.
Last night's Oscars red carpet did not disappoint, from Jessica Biel and Emma Stone's gold perfection to Kirsten Dunst and Brie Larson's timeless black ballgown moments. Then there was Taraji P. Henson who brought the Old Hollywood glamour, while Naomie Harris and Hailee Steinfeld brought two different visions of modern elegance to the scene in shimmering white creations. These are just a few of the stars who made my best-dressed list...but what about real-life inspo? Here I've rounded up 6 fashion and beauty trends you can rock right now, from spring's must-have eyeshadow color to Halle Berry's under-$160 heels...and more!

Kendall Jenner's Red Leather Jacket and White Lace-Up Pants Look for Less

Kendall Jenner explores Portabello Market in London wearing a red leather jacket and white lace-up leather pants.

Kendall Jenner explored the Portabello Road Market in London in a rocker chic red leather jacket, graphic tee and white leather lace-up pants.

She finished her look with aviator sunglasses and then added a sporty, modern touch with white sneakers that are not only stylish but comfortable, too, and perfect for a day of shopping and sightseeing.

Another accessory that's perfect for travel? A stylish fringe belt bag like this one by DV at Target - it's under $30 and also comes in brown!

And let's talk about those lace-up pants for a moment - these boudoir-inspired bottoms are a huge trend among all the Kardashian/Jenner girls but can look costumey if they're not done right. For Kendall's look I swapped in some white skinny pants with just a hint of lacing at the waist. If you want the full-on lace-up effect, try this pair or this plus-size pair in black.

Shop Kim Kardashian's multi-color fur coat, hooded sweatshirt and over-the-knee boots look for less.
Winter isn't over yet, and Kim Kardashian is giving us major statement-coat envy with her multi-colored fur coat in on-trend shades of gray, white and blush pink.

The long-hair-don't-care trendsetter styled kept the rest of her look streamlined, pairing a gray hooded sweatshirt with leggings and stiletto over-the-knee boots in black.

A structured croc satchel and oversized sunglasses finish this look that blends sporty athleisure separates with lavish, hi-life essentials.

I think you'll love the faux fur coat by Topshop we found that's in the same color palette as Kim's coat but much more wearable for everyday - and probably costs thousands less that her topper!
