The Oscar-nominated stars [1] kicked off a weekend of preparties on Friday night, giving us plenty of style fodder ahead of the big event. Style setters stepped out for the annual Women in Film pre-Oscar cocktail party, a warmup, if you will, for Sunday's glamorous red carpet.

Here, it looks like the fashion crowd got the memo — Emma Stone [2], Viola Davis, Zoë Kravitz, and more slipped into chic suit sets and jumpsuits, giving us a cool alternative to the usual cocktail dress. As for what they'll wear come Sunday, we have some ideas [3], but for now, let the preshow hold you over.
