Hollywood Boulevard will be closed from Highland Avenue to Orange Drive this week as workers prepare for Sunday’s Academy Awards in the Kodak Theatre. It’s a minor annoyance for those of us who live in the neighborhood, but it is exciting to have the Oscars happening right next door. As for me, I’ve only seen four of the ten nominated films for Best Picture so I have a bit of catching up to do! Of course, for us vintage fashionistas, there’s also plenty of fun to be had on the red carpet, checking to see how many of this year’s actresses will don a glam gown from yesteryear.

Of course, for every person you see on that red carpet, there are dozens attending parties and balls all over the city. And today’s VPOD features a fantabulous vintage cocktail dress by Sarmi that is ready to hit the town. Made of pale tangerine organza, the sexy bodice and feminine bows ensure a place on your own personal best-dressed list.

It’s a five-star find for a vintage fashionista!
