I thought most actors kept their own names now but "Bimini Bon-Boulash"!?? WTF? Is a drag act

I did say I didn't know who most of these people are. It doesn't say much for drag anymore when an uninterested outsider (me) can't tell if it's drag or not.

I wonder sometimes why women wear such ridiculous dresses - then it hit me. To grab attention of course. There were too many ghastly outfits on not only the women but guys....what's with a daft looking jacket that crosses over in the front and looks 10 sizes too big for you - (Kodi Smit-McPhee)! And Riz Ahmed in what I can only describe as "unsure what goes with what". My pick of long gowns was the one worn by Renate Reinsve. A simple elegant champagne colour straight skirt which showed off her contrasting lacey top half to perfection.

It was requested that in light of the international situation, nobody should wear extravagant outfits. Not everyone received the memo. I’m pretty sure the gowns were in the works long before Putin made his moves on Ukraine. Hard to turn that battleship around once it’s launched. Would’ve been cool if there were some gowns in Ukraine’s colors.

Most of them preferred ultra fancy black as though they supported Putin and were spitting in the face of the BAFTA request.
I think they should have come in jeans and t-shirts. Would any of the designers have dared to complain?

Perhaps not jeans and t-shirts but clothes that would look normal on the street or in an office.

Would’ve been cool if there were some gowns in Ukraine’s colors. I think I'll be forgiven for thinking that their claim of dressing to honor Ukraine's flag was thought up after the fact ~ Ariana DeBose and Rachel Zegler flew the flag for Ukraine on the 2022 BAFTA Awards red carpet. Wearing blue and gold gowns, the “West Side Story” stars showed their support for the country at the glamorous awards show Sunday night. “Did anybody see what Rachel Zegler’s wearing?” DeBose, 31, asked media backstage at the event. “Because the two of us together are standing with Ukraine, like seriously, we are reflecting it in color.” source

I did not love ANY of the gowns at the Vogue link. And I loathed many of them.
Lady Gaga’s bounteous green velvet may have been the least loathsome. But what’s with her cleavage? The “shadows” look drawn on with brown crayon.

Women are still seeking gender equality. This seems to mean displaying their tits and wearing silly shoes. I think they are wrong.

... what’s with her cleavage? It's beyond my comprehension why so many of those women would wear a garment which mashes down their breasts in order to put them on display. I did love that shade of green, though. I did not love ANY of the gowns at the Vogue link. And I loathed many of them. There were a few from that link I liked. As stated earlier, I loved Lucy Boynton's outfit (although I didn't know it had the ubiquitous leg slit until I saw a diferent picture) & thought that Léa Seydoux's dress was both edgily pretty & fun. Emilia Jones' Flash Gordon dress is kind of wonderful & she really carries it off. Many of the gowns look dated, with Salma Hyek's being the most dated in that Elizabeth Taylor look-I-have-giant-melon-breasts style.

The conversation about Kate Middleton, her clothes, & the other royals has been turned into a separate thread since it will inevitably provoke comment about royalty in general, plus Kate Middleton is not a red carpet habitué, no matter how many gowns she wears.

Fair enough. Though she more often wears a gown that is spectacularly right - for the occasion, for her physique, for her personality and for her place in society - than ANY of those celebrity clothes hangers walking on the red rug.

She is also breathtakingly boring.

I think that is considered a quality by the royal handlers. Fewer gaffes.

It’s coming! Tomorrow’s the Big Day: Oscars on Sunday with the fashion parade preceding.
Word is that the color of the year will be Legally Blonde Pink. We’ll see.

To think that I have to stay up from midnight to 6 am to watch this crap! (But I never miss it.)

Are we dressing up for the occasion? Barbie Doll pink would probably work, if you don’t feel like rushing out to buy a new frock. (I don’t think I have anything pink in my entire wardrobe. Well, maybe a tank top. And a ski jacket. Can I make it work?)

I have a pink t shirt and shorts. What do you reckon?

What do you reckon? Short shorts?

Short shorts and a 70 year old isn’t a great look

Sandals and long socks with those shorts, Mick. The girls have gone to great effort to look good...don't let them down!

Those shorts could work, Mick, if you opened up a thigh-high slit in one leg. And maybe cut the midriff off of the tshirt…
