The 96th Academy Awards at the Dolby Theater turned out to be quite the spectacle. Highlights included John Cena’s bold naked stroll across the stage to present the Best Costume Design award and Al Pacino’s unexpected move to skip the Best Film nominations and jump straight to announcing the winner.
The red carpet was also buzzing with excitement, featuring a range of striking outfits. Actress Kelly Ripa and her husband Mark Consuelos were among those who made a big impression, with Ripa’s ensemble sparking plenty of chatter on social media.
While celebrities’ fashion choices at awards shows always draw attention, the rise of social media has taken this to another level. Now, red carpet photos can be shared worldwide in an instant, making real-time outfit discussions and debates more popular than ever. So, it’s no surprise that an event as grand as the Oscars, along with its star-studded attendees, would be under intense scrutiny.
One celebrity who had her fashion choices scrutinized online this year was Kelly Ripa. She shared a photo of herself wearing a stunning black, see-through gown on Instagram, playfully captioning it as «Mom and dad storming the red carpet.»
There, it received an overwhelming amount of praise from her devoted followers.
“You both look absolutely stunning. «That dress is absolutely stunning,” one person gushed.
“That gown is absolutely stunning. What a lovely couple,” another person commented.
Someone complimented Kelly, saying, «Your hair, the dress… you look absolutely stunning.»
However, it wasn’t all praise. Some people raised doubts about Ripa’s choice to wear the dress.
“I love you Kelly but not this dress,” one detractor wrote.
Another added: “Unlike Mark not to have a perfectly tailored suit or tux on. His clothes are usually impeccable.“
A third wrote: “Kelly wear some bike shorts. You are lowering your self in the see through dress. You’re better than that!“
“She doesn’t even look like the same person anymore” a fourth opined.
In my opinion, Kelly and Mark absolutely stole the show at the Oscars with her stunning looks! Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section.
