In one of the year’s most anticipated nights of fashion, the Oscars came alive with refined haute couture and pared-back Hollywood glamour Sunday night.
On an Oscars red carpet filled with dramatic dresses and designer tuxedos, Spike Lee and Natalie Portman wore clothing that made a personal and political statement.
Spike Lee paid tribute to the Kobe Bryant in a Lakers-purple jacket with the late basketball star’s 24 on its lapels and on the back, while Portman wore the names of snubbed female directors on her cape.
The two were among the standouts at the Academy Awards, but not the only ones.
There was Billy Porter in a gold-feathered top and an orange silk overflowing skirt and Grammy-winner Billie Eilish wearing an oversized, fuzzy Chanel white suit, sporting a hairdo that was bright green on the top and black at the bottom.
Janelle Monae was among the stunners; she glided down the red carpet in a drop-dead stunning Ralph Lauren silver dress with long sleeves and about 170,000 Swarovski crystals, completed with a hood.
