After a Champagne-colored rug sent shock waves through Hollywood last year, this year’s Oscars carpet was back to red.
But another color was the talk of Tinseltown on Sunday as pale blue and mint gowns ruled the carpet. Emma Stone, who has opted for stunning, form-fitting frocks with plenty of embellishment throughout awards season, stole the show in a mint sorbet Louis Vuitton shell-print column dress with a massive peplum.
“Oppenheimer†won several top awards, including best picture, director and lead actor, while lead actress went to Emma Stone for “Poor Things.†Billie Eilish won best song after Ryan Gosling performed “I’m Just Ken.â€
Hailee Steinfeld in Ellie Saab Couture, Lupita Nyong’o in Armani Privè and Da’vine Joy Randolph in Louis Vuitton looked ethereal in the color of the night.
In addition to seafoam shades, other looks evoked the ocean. Anya Taylor-Joy’s scalloped Dior Haute Couture gown was inspired by Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus.â€
