the 93rd academy awards finally rolled
tape on abc after several delays due to
the pandemic while the box office may
have taken a hit this year a-listers
still hit the red carpet but whose
outfit was a critical darling in which
looks went straight to dvd
viola davis could literally get away
with murder in her stunning oscars gown
davis who was nominated for actress in a
leading role at the 2021 awards for her
incredible performance in ma rainey's
black bottom went full high fashion on
the red carpet at the dolby theater in a
white alexander mcqueen gown davis
choice to opt for a gorgeous angelic
moment was a surprise yet traditionally
gorgeous as reported by people the actor
kept things simple at the oscars wearing
a white gown by alexander mcqueen
natural makeup and diamond drop earrings
by forevermar viewers seem to agree that
this outfit was white hot one twitter
user gushed viola davis that's the tweet
another fan wrote she has my favorite
look of the night of the impeccable
outfit davis's stylist elizabeth stewart
told vogue the dress gives the illusion
of showing skin through it but it is
actually a corset dyed to match viola's
skin tone this was achieved by trying
about 20 swatches with the help of her
makeup artist you know it's an
exclamation point on an already fabulous
experience
british actor carrie mulligan was also
nominated for actress in a leading role
for her starring turn in promising young
woman at this year's awards and on the
red carpet she looked like a literal
golden statue in her glimmering gold
number mulligan's show-stopping
shimmering sequin two-piece was
valentino haute couture and consisted of
a sleek bandeau top and a gorgeous
oversized skirt which wouldn't look out
of place on a disney princess the actor
accessorized her outfit with cartier
jewelry and platform sandals by sophia
webster as noted by people mulligan made
a rare public appearance with her
musician husband marcus mumford who wore
a black dolce and cabana tuxedo and bow
tie on the red carpet it was great to
see the two make a joint appearance and
the internet was definitely impressed
with mulligan's chic look one twitter
user wrote if carrie mulligan doesn't
win an oscar in this dress i'm gonna
need her to wear it to every oscars
until she does this is a victory dress
another admirer tweeted carrie
mulligan's wearing a winner's gown just
saying meanwhile another fan seemingly
referenced a taylor swift song and wrote
gold rush was written about carrie
mulligan we don't disagree as this dress
was basically the oscars personified
handsome leading man lakeith stanfield
was nominated for best performance by an
actor in a supporting role for judas and
the black messiah and on the red carpet
he gave us retro realness that we won't
forget anytime soon as noted by et
online stanfield hit the red carpet
wearing a custom black saint laurent
jumpsuit by anthony vaccarello the actor
celebrated the look on instagram ahead
of the show and wrote pulled up to the
oscars looking like your uncle but since
it's a dry bar i'm going back home good
luck to the nominees though clearly
enamored with a look one twitter user
wrote okay ladies and gentlemen lakeith
stanfield in custom st by anthony
vaccarello the best meanwhile another
wrote in all caps lakeith stanfield in
saint laurent instantly on my greatest
of all time list sexy a little mean hot
pristine we couldn't have said it better
ourselves
although the eight-time oscar nominee
looked positively regal in her sharply
tailored knee sweeping armani prive
dress which was a boldly bedazzled
sapphire blue glenn close's 2021 oscars
ensemble did not come all the way
together thanks to her loose-fitting
loungewear-like pants wearing her hair
pinned in an elegant updo close also
rocked a pair of matching decadent
leather gloves nominated at the 93rd
oscars for her role in ron howard's
hillbilly elegy klose has never been a
stranger to aesthetically bold choices
in her roles as well from her infamously
frayed black and white hair in 101
dalmatians to her hillbilly elegy role
as mamaw who hides closest high
cheekbones under layers of prosthetics
the hollywood icon welcomes
transformation close told entertainment
weekly it's gratifying because you can
really remove yourself she also gave
fans a behind the scenes glimpse of her
oscar day prep on instagram cheerfully
toasting the camera in just a bathrobe
a new line in the sand was drawn for
attendees at the 2021 oscars with the
dress code being rather strict a letter
to attendees from the oscar producers
read in part formal is totally cool if
you want to go there but casual is
really not nonetheless nomad land
director chloe zhao seemed to defy these
very guidelines on oscar night
known for a generally relaxed fashion
sense that includes long pigtail braids
zhao sported a pair of comfy looking
white sneakers underneath a simplistic
beige cocktail dress despite the
academy's guidelines the twitter sphere
was still overwhelmingly in favor of
zhao's footwear choice and one twitter
user quipped chloe zhao at the oscars
party in white sneakers and the most
casually elegant dress i've ever seen is
what we should all strive for in our
fancy party clothes you feel like you're
part of something bigger and i try to
see things the same way
laura dern might be hollywood royalty
and a legendary actor in her own right
but that didn't shield her from twitter
ridicule for her 2021 oscars gown in a
bottom heavy frog that featured a black
turtleneck top and a frilly and feathery
white skirt dern arrived alongside big
little lies co-star and pal reese
witherspoon as witherspoon quipped on an
instagram selfie cozying next to dern
before the big night swipe to see my hot
date not everyone shared that opinion of
durian's oscar's look however one
twitter user went right for the jugular
in joking how many muppets died for
laura dern's gown another individual
referenced icelandic singer bjork who
famously wore a white swan dress at the
2001 oscars and tweeted really hoping
that bjork is hiding under laura dern's
dress and pops out for a showstopper
considering she's an oscar winner for
2020's marriage story and a three-time
nominee durn will likely laugh the jokes
