Two days to go to the 86th Academy Awards! We love film, but here at Retrovert what we are really interested in is the fashion. We can't wait to see the fabulous gowns on the red carpet runway, but also to find out who is going to win the Oscar for Best Costume Design.

Nominated are Michael Wilkinson for American Hustle, William Chang Suk Ping for The Grandmaster, Catherine Martin for The Great Gatsby, Michael O'Connor for The Invisible Woman and Patricia Norris for 12 Years a Slave. 

It looks like the odds are on for Catherine Martin to clinch the award with her work on The Great Gatsby. She worked alongside Miuccia Prada and the Brook Brothers to produce breathtaking 1920s inspired designs. The 1920s is one of my favourite eras and if you fancy channelling your inner flapper then here's how to Get the Gatsby Look with Twenties Accessories.

If you take a look at previous Oscar winners for Costume Design, then it looks to be in Martin's favour. She won back in 2001 with Moulin Rouge! so she's proved she can do it.

Films featuring the iconic Jazz Age of the Twenties have fared well too. The Aviator won in 2004, also featuring Leonardo DiCaprio in some very dapper suits and Chicago won in 2002 with its fabulous flapper fashions. The Great Gatsby from 1974 clinched the award for Best Costume too.

I love it when I am right. Catherine Martin did indeed win the Oscar Costume Design! Some of the dresses were just stunning, so well deserved I think.
