In case you’re wondering why Ariana Grande got a rock star reception at the Oscars, it’s because of Wicked. There’s apparently a lot of money behind it. Ari was just a presenter (alongside her Wicked costar Cynthia Erivo), but it felt like she was everywhere during the show and on stage. Ari wore this custom Giambattista Valli which is… absurd, but also kind of fun. Back in the day, at least a dozen Oscar-attendees would wear big, ridiculous gowns like this and it was a regular thing. Not so much anymore. The biggest problem here isn’t even the big dumb dress – it’s that Ariana is sticking with that brassy shade of blonde and it’s doing her no favors.
Matt Bomer wore Brunello Cucinelli. Yes, I’m interested in the fashion, I’m not just mindlessly ogling the most beautiful man in the world.
Billie Eilish wore Chanel and she and her brother Finneas won their second Oscars! Ridiculous! While I did not like her Chanel outfit whatsoever, I f–king loved her hair and makeup. The blowout was such a great look and her makeup was gorgeous. I hope she sticks with that glam team, they know what they’re doing.
