Every year, the Oscars give us the biggest night in movies.
They also give us the quintessential award show red carpet.
The key word there, of course, is “mostly.”
This year’s Oscars red carpet was full of unique trends.
There were lots of colors, plenty of daring prints, and bold structural, architectural clothing pieces.
It’s the proportions, though, that kept this look from working.
On top of that, the accessories added more disjointed elements to the overall look.
The long black gloves were too formal, and the statement necklace looked straight out of 2016.
This disco ball-inspired ensemble is just plain over-the-top.
From the platform shoes to the excessive accessories and the head-to-toe glitter, this look required some serious edits.
This silver glitter-covered coat may have been a great look if paired with something a little more subdued underneath.
In Diane Warren’s case, though, she took this idea a bit too literally.
The flame details paired with the asymmetry of the top made the look feel costumey.
A subtler nod to her song may have worked a bit better.
Justine Triet channeled Beetlejuice
A bold print is always welcome on the red carpet.
Justine Triet’s pinstripe suit just didn’t feel like the right look for such a prestigious event.
Some bold accessories and a different hairstyle could also have helped to make Triet look a bit more elevated.
Unfortunately, this vibrant plaid print drew all the attention away from Riseborough herself.
All in all, it felt like this dress was wearing Riseborough instead of the other way around.
To be fair, the “What was I Made for?”
singer’s Oscars ensemble was one of her better looks this season.
The star has a fondness for playing with unique proportions and rocking oversized garments.
With that perfect hair and makeup, we would have loved to see this star go a bit glam.
Molly Sims chose to rock an all-pink Georges Chakra Couture gown.
Cynthia Erivo wore a dragon costume
Let’s be real:Cynthia Erivo looks stunning in anything.
We can’t imagine how they’ll outdo these looks if “Wicked” rakes in nominations next year.
