I have no idea who/what her plus one is.

Jeff: I think the comforter from dream Barbie's bedroom got tied up with her sash and had no more time to fix it. Her handlers said "walk!"

Some comments on the Oscars outfits. The following isn't meant to be mean or shame anyone, but just to help people develop an eye for certain details so that they can be better at deciding what fits them when shopping.

The velvet, shawl collar dinner jacket here is meant to convey elegance, but the cut ruins the effect. The jacket is too short, the pants are too tight, and the shirt collar is too low on his neck. Compare to Redford in 1974.



Trousers and sleeves should be hemmed. If you want to wear a black dress shirt with a black suit, I think it would look better if the dress shirt was made in a more casual material, like a black denim Western shirt worn without a tie. Outfit is very "welcome to Applebee's."


Very bad material for tailoring. If you want to use a slightly shinier fabric for an evening event, try wool-mohair. It will drape better and not make you look like you're wearing polyester. The fabric here also highlights all the problems with the fit.

Not bad, but it would look better if the trousers were pressed (not steamed) and if the jacket was a little longer. A suit jacket should end roughly halfway from your collar to the floor when you're in heeled shoes. Doesn't the silhouette on the right look better?



I think double-breasted jackets look better with a slightly lower buttoning point. This will elongate the lapel line and give you a better V-shaped silhouette. The sleeves on the left also look too tight.

The sleeves are too short, and the trousers are too narrow. Dinner suits (aka tuxedos) should also always be worn with some kind of waist covering, such as a cummerbund or vest. If you are wearing a DB tuxedo, you can forgo the waist covering if you never unbutton the jacket.



Terrific. One of the few "innovative DB" designs I've seen. Beautifully tailored, drapes well, and looks elegant. The detail around the fastening point is nice without being gimmicky.


I suspect his lapels are buckling away from his body and his jacket is twisting on him because his armholes are too low. Possibly a ready-made designer garment or made-to-measure. Compare his jacket to any dance scene by Fred Astaire.

Well done!! Beautifully tailored, well proportioned, no puckering or pulling. The outfit is tastefully put together.


I think he would look better in a slightly longer jacket, but the outfit is still very beautifully tailored. And I like the cowboy boots.



The "innovations" here don't feel like they add anything: the velvet collar, the trim short jacket, the black dress shirt with tonal tie (very high school prom), and the last button being fastened (was this intentional?). I'd scrap the entire outfit and put him in something else

Dear
@dieworkwear what about Cillian?

@dieworkwear

He looks great. I wish I saw that photo earlier, as I would have loved to include it as an example of "very well done."

I'll do a full red carpet post tomorrow.
My daughter and I disagree about how America looks here. I LOVE how she's wearing that Versace gown. Where we disagree is her hair. I think it's too casual.

[ti-amie]

Perfection

[ti-amie]

She's wearing the hell out of this Versace as well but why the "I'm going to the mall" hair? Too casual.

[ti-amie]

I think @derekguy would approve of Roger's look.

I guess there is someone in there wearing this gown. I can't believe it walked in on its own...

Her schtick is getting old...

I would like this better if the designer had chosen either the peplum or the train instead of both.

Why the blue buttons though?

Talk about retro looks. She pulls it off although walking in that must be a...bit difficult

I guess no one told him this was the Oscar red carpet not the GG's or the Grammy's.

I chose the close up here because the detailing on the shirt is exquisite. I'm also glad he tied the tie this time.

No tie? Since he's the actor I'll leave his partner alone. They're both too casual for an Oscar Red Carpet.

Since she's in the business and is listed by name I will ask why she looks angry in that ill fitting gown.
We all know what Downey Jr has been through and I hate to drag him but really dude? Again this is the Oscars not the Golden Globes. I should mention that Ms Downey has been with him through it all. It's just an odd choice on such a big night for him.

This is a perfect look for her. She's perfectly styled from head to toe. I don't have a problem with long hair at a formal event it just needs to be styled. Margot Robbie didn't style her hair. Jennifer did and it makes all the difference.

Matchy matchy and it doesn't work for me.

Well he's a musician. I like that men are playing with color but I think this is a bit casual for the Oscars.

I like the playfulness of this look. It's formal, very well styled and yet you see the man's personality. One of the best dressed men

I haven't liked anything she's done this season but then again she was up against Zendaya who was being styled by Law Roach during the Dune 2 promo tour. That said I saw another look at this from the front and I hope to post it later. The fabric is very difficult to work with and she looks decent enough.

Nothing to see here. Moving on.

Was this award show bath optional? Both he and Gosling looked as if they rolled out of bed and threw on their clothing.

Lupita looks good here. Armani used a "peplum" of feathery material at the waist and repeated the look at the hem. No train. I love the color on her.

I usually love Siriano but this doesn't hit right for me. I'm not a fan of the huge swath of material wrapped around the wearer.

Bro culture on the Oscar Red Carpet. At least he looks as if he bathed.
