Ahead of Sunday's (February 28) Oscars ceremony, fashion commentators are gearing up for the Hollywood event of the year.

On a red carpet watched by the entire world, every fashion hit and miss is immediately analyzed and dissected. Fashion expert Sam Saboura is hoping Swedish actress Alicia Vikander, nominated in the best supporting actress category for her role in "The Danish Girl," will continue to experiment with a more edgy look. At the recent BAFTA awards in London, she wore a black leather Louis Vuitton dress with shiny crystal detailing that reportedly weighed 35 lbs (15 kg).

As for who he hopes will step up her game on Sunday, Saboura picked best actress nominee Brie Larson ("Room"). The Oscars will be handed out in Los Angeles in a star-studded television show which is one of the most-watched TV programs in the United States and is viewed by millions internationally.
