Red carpet fashion spotlighted at 2019 awards

Every year, there are annual award shows where people wear their best or most interesting outfits to gain attention on the red carpet.

This year’s Oscars red carpet did not disappoint in the elegant, ugly and overall interesting outfit choices. Whether it is good or bad, everyone has their own style and should own whatever they chose to wear. Here are some celebrities that got everyone’s attention.

Lady Gaga

Mostly because of the necklace, Lady Gaga’s outfit channeled the old Hollywood vibe and was the most talked about this year. The diamond on Gaga’s neck was the original piece worn by Audrey Hepburn in the classic film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.”

Her whole outfit, from the sleeves and dress to the hair up-do, is meant to resemble the look Audrey Hepburn had for the promotional photos.

Octavia Spencer and Billy Porter

Both wore gowns produced by Christian Siriano and did not disappoint, from Spencer’s navy blue glittery off the shoulder to Porter’s tuxedo morphed dress.

Spencer had an incredible classy look. Even the classy looks get attention.

Porter’s tuxedo gown received a lot of attention because men have a difficult time being different in a tuxedo. They can change the color or add accessories, but rarely do they turn the bottom into a ball gown skirt. And it surely worked for Porter.

Maya Rudolph

Oh, honey, why? Giambattista Valli decided to make a gown by taking a bed skirt cape and attaching it to a matching bed skirt dress, but why did Rudolph decide to wear it?

Known as a comedic actress, hopefully, this was her way of making a comedic entrance because even her face looked confused on her fashion choice.

Linda Cardellini

I’m speechless. This dress by Schiaparelli looked like the designers took parts of an overly used pink loofah, sewed them together and when they ran out of the product, they tied it together with a giant, lighter pink bow and called it “good.”

Her hair also looked like she had just taken a shower where she did not want to get it wet, so she pinned it up with a clip. She then forgot to finish it before the red carpet.

Gemma Chan

No one wants to leave their bed, so why not bring it with them? This is what Valentino Couture decided when designing this bubble gum pink comforter dress. All they had to do was add in some armholes and a ruffled neck area to make it look like it wasn’t previously a comforter.

Tommy Hilfiger

Hilfiger sparked up some controversy with his velvet loafers made by Stubbs & Wootton for Boast. Many thought the red leaves resembled marijuana leaves, but they were the Japanese maple leaf that the company uses to celebrate sports.

While Dee Ocleppo, Hilfiger’s wife, looked amazing with her classy look next to him, Hilfiger is got all the attention thanks to his striking plaid suit. Some even said he was the best-dressed man at the Oscars, but, in my opinion, he was one of the worst. I mean, it looked like he took two different plaid suits and sewed them together.

Hannah Beachler, Angela Bassett and Jennifer Hudson

They all fit in their own category, but what is on your shoulder? This year, one of the themes seemed to be a one-shoulder dress with a giant piece of fabric or bow on it.

Each of these women looked gorgeous with their hair, earrings, makeup choice and other elements of their outfits. But that giant piece of fabric next to their face distracted anyone from seeing their beauty.

Beachler’s looked as though she had spilled something on her left side and covered it with layers of fabric. Bassett and Hudson looked like they were walking through a door and ran their left arm into a wall, ripping off the other side of their dress.

Jennifer Lopez vs. Molly Sims

Both women wore disco balls to the red carpet. Sims had more design in her arms and skirt while Lopez walked around in a cracked mirror ball.

So, who wore the disco ball best? The answer may surprise you because it was Sims. While Lopez is known for looking good on any red carpet, the details in Sims gown overshadowed Lopez’s overall look.

Nathan Crowley

Yawn. Most men look handsome in a tuxedo and try to change colors or add something different, but you, Crowley, did not.

It looks as though Crowley is going to a business meeting instead of an award ceremony in his suit and tie.

Rachel Weisz

What happened? It looks like Weisz had a pretty classy dress on, but before the red carpet she spilled something on her chest and needed something to cover up. Don’t worry because 2000s Britney Spears came to the rescue with the top of her classic red jumpsuit in her “Oops!… I Did It Again” music video.

Glenn Close and Melissa McCarthy

Shut up about the capes. We get it. They both wore dresses with capes. Their designers wondered how to make them stand out, so they sewed on a layer of fabric to cover up their backside in case they have an accident.

The capes would be acceptable and award worthy if they were used to cover up a period mishap. They were not the worst or best dressed of the red carpet, so get over it.

Cicely Tyson and Tessa Thompson

Whoever did Thompson’s makeup deserves a round of applause. She looked as though she were airbrushed, which maybe she was, but either way she was gorgeous.

As for the dresses, they were both mistakes. Tyson’s designer took a shag carpet and some ribbon from Walmart to tie random parts together so it didn’t completely look like an animal was eating her. Not to mention her Under Armour sleeves to make her sweat even more in the furry costume.

Thompson, Chanel Couture screwed you over. All they did was grab a fitted sheet and use some Christmas tinsel to tie random parts together. They tried to make it look nice with layered ruffles at the waist and feet, but it made it look like a broken accordion stretched out at random spots.
