Short shorts and a 70 year old isn’t a great look No indeed. It should be the full Eric Morecambe.

IT’S RED CARPET TIME!!! So far not terribly impressed. (And many people seem to be juggling extra pandemic pounds.) I do like host Vanessa Hudgen’s very flattering spaghetti-strapped sparkly black cross-bodice gown, though it’s drag-on-the-floor too long. It has just enough cleavage and little cutouts on the side and back, but very tasteful and elegant. I want to see her shoes, though! www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/vanessa-hudgens-2022-oscars-pre-195900668.htmlOh, and her jewels are perfect. Emeralds and diamonds. Sigh.

I don't hate it, but it's kind of like an elongated swimsuit.

In person (live TV) it’s lovely.

Billie Eilish. OMG. Gives Carol Burnette’s gone with the wind curtains gown a run for its money. But in black ruffles.
To match her jet black hair.

Returning to this thread with bleeding eyeballs after looking at the utter crap passing as clothing on this year's red carpet. Wesley Snipes broke my heart -- what the hell was that? And I have lost all respect forever for Timothée Chalamet. Gawd. There were other men gotten up like like Buster Brown interrupted in the act of cross-dressing. Good grief. Never mind the men. The women all looked like bimbos or bad bit players in low budget sci-fi flicks. What's with the tits? It doesn't look sexy -- it looks desperate and pathetic. Why don't they just dress like Mycenean women and have done with it? Here are three pages of crimes against fabric. I don't know who most of these people are, but some comments anyway ~ Zendaya's outfit would have been okay if it had a blouse. Aunjanue Ellis's gown looks as though the designer was showing different ideas for the top & they all got used. Remi Bader took time out from her dominatrix job to come to the red carpet. On top of everything else, those oversized culottes on Ariana DeBose have a fly! The fabric on Nicole Kidman's gown is lush and a gorgeous color. Too bad the dress itself is a joke. Kirsten Dunst, as always, radiates class. She is a rose in a field of weeds. Rita Morena is visiting from Transylvania. Marlee Matlin could have done so much better. Regina Hall is one of the many women who pulled a negligee out of the closet & wore it to the awards. Ditto Jessica Chastain. Damn, that's tacky! Carolina Gaitán is modeling a 2022 version of Miz Ellen's portieres? Alana Haim looks really pretty. Venus Williams typifies the bad taste of showing off the bosom at all costs. Halle Bailey ~ what the he-ell? Olivia Colman always has an unfortunate gown at awards shows, and did not deviate from that this time around. As long as I'm editing this post, here are some people who looked good ~ Penelope CruzTiffany HaddishH.E.R.

The Becky G dress I was talking about is the one she wore to sing We Don’t Talk about Bruno. It was yellow, very smooth with strapless bodice and inverted pleats on the skirt. Still looking for a photo. Rapper Megan Thee Stallion also wore a yellow “dress” but more of a warrior look.
Here’s video. See if you agree with me about Becky G’s tasteful look vs. Megan Thee Stallion’s trashy vibe:

Re: Jada Pinkette Smith’s bald noggin. How did I miss Chris Rock’s joke at her expense and Will Smith striding onstage to cold-cock him?!
Was it censored last night? Or maybe I got up to get some dessert and missed it. It’s all over the news this morning.
BTW, her condition is alopecia. I’d wear a wig before appearing so publicly with a shaved head.

I’ve never heard the phrase cold-cock before.
Not in that description anyway.

I don't see any of Thee Stallion except in her blue-gray Copacabana dress. BTW, her condition is alopecia. I’d wear a wig before appearing so publicly with a shaved head. But Kimby -- should people have to hide something like that in order to fit with the conventional expectations of others? Liza Minelli appeared in a wheelchair & the deaf cast members of CODA prefer sign language, for instance. I’ve never heard the phrase cold-cock before. It's a common and old American expression, Mick.

I thought she looked pretty elegant with her hairless head. But isn't the head as far as anyone can get from the red carpet?

Thank you Huckle. That's what I was going to say. It's about me, not about Jada. (I also wouldn't be caught dead in the dress she wore.)
But I do think she coulda rocked the bald look with a streamlined space-agey dress.

I agree with the first few Kimby..as far as the gold dress...but the following one..(Jada Pinkett Smith's dress) would've looked much better with less of the 'duvet cover coming out of the tumble drier' bit. I agree with you Kimby..she would have suited a sleeker, space-age outfit.
I cannot cope with either the HUGE dresses (Billie Eilish) or the slutty dresses with thighs, boobage etc out on show. OK some (young) women can wear that sort of tarty dress and look fabulous..but it should be EITHER boobs OR thighs...never both! Also 'a suggestion' of cleavage or a glimpse of thigh is always more sensual and stylish than dangling all your attributes blatantly in front of innocant bystanders...ew.

I did find the photo of H.E.R. dress: www.imdb.com/media/rm1938168065/rg2355010304

And here’s the video containing BOTH Becky G’s pretty yellow gown and Megan Thee Stallion’s warrior/super bowl performance costume.:

You already posted that video at #432 & I posted H.E.R.'s dress at #427.
I only looked at the video long enough to see Becky G's dress, as I hate those Disney numbers. Yes, it is lovely. Can't really fault the Thee Stallion outfit, since it was so performance-specific. Don't like it, but appropriate for "a big number".

(Not a contest, Bixa, dear.)
I went back and edited those links into my earlier posts as I found them, the beauty of the edit feature. I wanted everything in one place. (Well, two or three, but I wanted the initial posts to be complete..)

It looks as though this shindig is moving on from the era of "Get your tits out for the boys" to "get 'em off". I think the men look ridiculous.
