In the olden days, Dior would only dress one or two women for the Oscars and Dior was really selective about it. They’ve loosened up a lot, and they ended up dressing two major nominees, one presenter and one of the red-carpet hosts. Mikey Madison got the most-seen Dior look of the night – a pale pink and black look which I did not care for. But for my money, Dior gave Monica Barbaro a much better dress – this is really stunning and I sort of wish Mikey and Monica had switched dresses. Monica also looks so much like Original Kylie Jenner, I have been doing double-takes all awards season. I wonder if Timothee Chalamet has as well. Also: pale pink was definitely one of the colors of the night, so Monica was definitely on-trend.
Rachel Zegler also got a Dior look, which… eh. I mean, she’s a Disney princess, right? Because she’s Snow White in the live-action film. That’s what this was – some Disney princess vibes.
Julianne Hough’s Dior was nice. It was simple and even rather elegant. I wish it wasn’t this blah beige ombre, but whatever. It’s fine.
