Shocking Pink Ruled the Red Carpet at the 91st Academy Awards

I’m going to say it: awards show red carpets are extremely boring. While I’m hardly immune to feeling starry-eyed over throwback footage of beautiful celebrities like Cindy Crawford, Richard Gere and Jack Nicholson arriving at the 1999 Oscars, it’s hard to reconcile such peerless glamour with the snoozy occasion the Academy Awards have become. Viewership is down, the red carpet outfits are overstyled and safe to a fault, and the actual movies everyone is there to laud are boring. Frankly, the entire spectacle has never felt less relevant to the culture at large.

That said, this evening’s red carpet did manage to pull off some exciting surprises, namely the ubiquity of shocking pink dresses. The colour heavily associated with Barbie Dolls, Angelyne, and Paris Hilton in the early 2000s made an unannounced comeback. Leading ladies Sarah Paulson, Gemma Chan, Linda Cardellini, Helen Mirren, and Maya Rudolph all showed up shades of fuschia that wouldn’t look out of place on Killing Eve‘s hyper-femme assassin, Villanelle.

Perhaps the singularly most exciting outfit of the evening was Billy Porter‘s Christian Siriano tuxedo dress, which was as much a political statement as it was a good outfit, followed by Linda Cardellini in a completely bonkers fuschia tulle number by Schiaparelli Couture. I actually let out a small yelp after fully registering how freaking incredible Cardellini looks in this dress. (For all the Freaks and Geeks superfans reading this: Lindsay Weir really had a glow-up, huh?) The most unexpected appearance of the night was elfin tidying guru Marie Kondo in a petal-pink Jenny Packham gown. It totally beats me why someone best known for devising their own method of folding socks is walking the Oscars red carpet, but her presence certainly livened up the place a bit.

Read on for our picks of who snagged ‘best-dressed’ on the 2019 Oscars red carpet.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
