After months of anticipation, the Academy Awards returned to Hollywood this Sunday night, and the red carpet was truly on fire! From dazzling silver gowns to Barbiecore, this year’s Oscars brought some pretty amazing red carpet trends our way, and here are five of the very best.

Silver Vibes

Silver was trending at this year’s Oscars, and some of the night’s best looks came in this color. Halle Berry and Demi Moore stole the show in their silver gowns, but we’ve also seen Felicity Jones, Mindy Kaling, and Yvonne Orji embrace this trend.

Dazzling Gowns

Dazzling gowns in other shades were also having a moment. None created more buzz than Selena Gomez’s golden Ralph Lauren dress, covered in 16,000 hand-sewn Rosemont crystals.

Barbiecore

Every time we think we’ve left the Barbiecore craze in the past, pink dresses make an epic comeback. Mikey Madison put this trend back on the map in her black and pink Dior gown, along with Ariana Grande, Monica Barbaro, and Rachel Sennott.

Method Dressing

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo brought method dressing to the Oscars and used their looks to pay homage to Wicked. Dramatic gowns worn by Demi Moore and Zoe Saldaña were also a nod to their Oscar-nominated performances.

Back to Black

Black dresses were having a moment at the Oscars, thanks to the likes of Miley Cyrus, Kylie Jenner, and Lily-Rose Depp. They were going even stronger at Vanity Fair’s Oscars party, where everyone from Selena Gomez and Olivia Rodrigo to Kendall Jenner and Mikey Madison wore this color.

If you’re looking to do a makeover of your home, then painting can make a huge difference. Still, finding the time to do this during the week can prove challenging. Here are some easy painting projects you can complete over a weekend.

Closets

While many people think about painting walls by default, painting your closet can also make a big difference. Consider painting either your bedroom closet or the closet in the hallway so guests can see how you’ve overhauled the space.

Dining Rooms

If you’re determined to paint walls, then your dining room is an easy place to paint. While kitchens are challenging because of all the appliances in the way, dining rooms usually take quicker as there’s less furniture that needs to be moved. For example, dining room tables are normally at the center of the room, not along the walls.

Furniture

There are pieces of smaller furniture that can also be painted at a much quicker pace than entire walls. Some great pieces of furniture to paint include bookcases and other wood-based furniture. If you don’t particularly want to change the color of the wood in your furniture, then you could also varnish it as a means of renewing and protecting the piece.

Carrots might seem like a simple vegetable, but when baked correctly, they can transform into a star side dish. If you’ve been underwhelmed by baked carrots in the past, it’s time to discover the right technique for this root veggie favorite. Here’s how.

Preparation

Start with fresh, firm carrots. Wash them thoroughly and peel them if desired. For even cooking, cut them into uniform sizes—either into 1-inch chunks or lengthwise into sticks.

Seasoning

Toss the carrots in olive oil to coat them evenly. This helps them roast without drying out. Season with salt and pepper as a base. For extra flavor, add herbs like thyme or rosemary, or spices like cumin or paprika.

Baking

Preheat your oven to 425°F. Spread the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding, as this can lead to steaming instead of roasting. Bake for 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of your carrots. Shake the pan or flip the carrots halfway through for even browning. The carrots are done when they’re tender when pierced with a fork and have caramelized edges.

Finishing Touches

For added flavor, toss the hot carrots with a bit of butter, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs before serving.

If you live in a modest home, it might sometimes be difficult to fit everything you want into a small living room. This is especially true if you like to entertain and need enough seating. Here are some effective ways to make your living room appear bigger than it really is.

Get A Big Rug

Rather than buying a rug that only fits under your sitting area, get one that fills that space, making it feel more elongated. Consider getting one with a small wood margin for an added effect.

Hang Curtains Higher

By hanging curtains well above the top of your windows, you’ll be able to draw guests’ eyes upward, creating the illusion that your ceiling is higher than it is. Install your curtain rods about two-thirds up from the gap between the top of the window and the ceiling.

Built-Ins Also Work

If you put external cupboards and bookcases in your living room, you’ll notice how quickly the space fills up. Rather, get built-in storage spaces that will not only allow you to tidy up the clutter but also ensure that you have optimal space to move around. Alternatively, having less furniture around the space will also work to the same effect.

If you’re looking to do a makeover of your home, then painting can make a huge difference. Still, finding the time to do this during the week can prove challenging. Here are some easy painting projects you can complete over a weekend.

Closets

While many people think about painting walls by default, painting your closet can also make a big difference. Consider painting either your bedroom closet or the closet in the hallway so guests can see how you’ve overhauled the space.

Dining Rooms

If you’re determined to paint walls, then your dining room is an easy place to paint. While kitchens are challenging because of all the appliances in the way, dining rooms usually take quicker as there’s less furniture that needs to be moved. For example, dining room tables are normally at the center of the room, not along the walls.

Furniture

There are pieces of smaller furniture that can also be painted at a much quicker pace than entire walls. Some great pieces of furniture to paint include bookcases and other wood-based furniture. If you don’t particularly want to change the color of the wood in your furniture, then you could also varnish it as a means of renewing and protecting the piece.

Carrots might seem like a simple vegetable, but when baked correctly, they can transform into a star side dish. If you’ve been underwhelmed by baked carrots in the past, it’s time to discover the right technique for this root veggie favorite. Here’s how.

Preparation

Start with fresh, firm carrots. Wash them thoroughly and peel them if desired. For even cooking, cut them into uniform sizes—either into 1-inch chunks or lengthwise into sticks.

Seasoning

Toss the carrots in olive oil to coat them evenly. This helps them roast without drying out. Season with salt and pepper as a base. For extra flavor, add herbs like thyme or rosemary, or spices like cumin or paprika.

Baking

Preheat your oven to 425°F. Spread the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding, as this can lead to steaming instead of roasting. Bake for 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of your carrots. Shake the pan or flip the carrots halfway through for even browning. The carrots are done when they’re tender when pierced with a fork and have caramelized edges.

Finishing Touches

For added flavor, toss the hot carrots with a bit of butter, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs before serving.

If you live in a modest home, it might sometimes be difficult to fit everything you want into a small living room. This is especially true if you like to entertain and need enough seating. Here are some effective ways to make your living room appear bigger than it really is.

Get A Big Rug

Rather than buying a rug that only fits under your sitting area, get one that fills that space, making it feel more elongated. Consider getting one with a small wood margin for an added effect.

Hang Curtains Higher

By hanging curtains well above the top of your windows, you’ll be able to draw guests’ eyes upward, creating the illusion that your ceiling is higher than it is. Install your curtain rods about two-thirds up from the gap between the top of the window and the ceiling.

Built-Ins Also Work

If you put external cupboards and bookcases in your living room, you’ll notice how quickly the space fills up. Rather, get built-in storage spaces that will not only allow you to tidy up the clutter but also ensure that you have optimal space to move around. Alternatively, having less furniture around the space will also work to the same effect.
