Oscar Fashion = the fishtail is in

Fishtail? When a dress is a tight column until it poofs out at the bottom, it’s a fishtail. Also called a mermaid. Because, well, mermaids are women with fishtails.

Last night’s Oscars, which were marked by the fishtail, a number of red, white, and black gowns (white?!), some shimmery gowns, and a lot of updos and understatement, have been dubbed a smidge boring fashion-wise, but I think the return or emergence of the fishtail is very exciting. The fishtail is a fun end to a classic beginning!

Beyonce and Vanessa Hudgens both rocked the fishtail, I love Vanessa’s feathery flowery accents.
