Oscars 2015: What The Nominees Should Wear Full ABC News Oscars Coverage

1. White: "White has been huge this season—it's fresh, youthful, easy to wear, and frankly looks great against a red carpet."

2. Metallic: "We've seen sequins, fringe, hardware, and an array of metallic fabric on the red carpet. Nothing screams celebration like gold and silver, and again, there's a flattering shade for everyone."

3. Old-Hollywood Hair: "Actresses typically play it safe for the Oscars and that means long soft curls that pay homage to Veronica Lake."

4. Fashion Forward Looks: "Again, actresses like to play it safe on Hollywood's biggest night, but a handful of nominees are also die-hard fashion fans. Julianne Moore, Felicity Jones and Rosamund Pike all take risks on the red carpet and could break from tradition."

5. Scruff: "Will the men shave for the year's fanciest party? Based on the red carpets so far this year, the answer is no. Facial hair has never been so black tie appropriate."
