OMG Ariana Grande at the 97th Oscars

Okay, let’s talk about the pink-gold lantern gown Ariana wore at Oscar. The dress was giving full Glinda vibes from Wicked (which she’s promoting HARD, and honestly, I’m here for it). The silhouette? Whimsical AF. The sparkle? Blinding. The retro updo with those face-framing curls? Chef’s kiss 👌. It’s like she stepped out of a fairy tale, but with that signature Ari sass. Some fans are calling it her best Oscars look yet, while others think it’s “too costumey” for the event. Thoughts?

Shoutout to Lisa’s bold black tuxedo gown with the floral accent—major power move for her Oscars debut. And Selena Gomez’s pale pink mermaid dress? Stunning, but low-key overshadowed by Ari’s glow. Timothée Chalamet’s neon yellow suit? Iconic chaos, as always.

But back to ARI, do we love how she’s fully leaning into her Wicked era with this ethereal aesthetic, or is it time to switch gears? Also… did anyone else spot that one awkward paparazzi shot of her tripping on the train? 💀 Let’s be real, though—99% of those pics were flawless.

So, yay or nay on Ari’s Oscars fashion? And who else stole the show for you? ✨

... Read moreAriana Grande once again captured everyone's attention at the 97th Oscars with her mesmerizing pink-gold gown that channels some serious Glinda energy from Wicked. Her look was not just about the breathtaking gown, but also the whimsical silhouette and dazzling sparkle that blended a fairy tale aesthetic with her signature sass. Fans and critics alike have weighed in, with some calling it her best Oscars look thus far, while others debate whether the ensemble is fitting for the prestigious event. Alongside Grande, other stars also brought their unique flair to the red carpet. For instance, Lisa's bold black tuxedo gown made a significant impact, marking a powerful debut at the Oscars. Meanwhile, Selena Gomez's pale pink mermaid dress was stunning, although it somewhat fell into the background when contrasted with Ariana's vibrant presence. Timothée Chalamet continued to uphold his reputation for fashion-forward choices with a neon yellow suit that left many questioning the boundaries of red-carpet attire. As Ariana embraces her Wicked era wholeheartedly, her ethereal look ignites a conversation about the evolving standards of Oscars fashion. Did that one paparazzi shot of her tripping slightly dim her sparkle? Most would argue it didn't. Nearly every captured moment highlighted her charm and elegance. So, in this fierce discussion of who stole the spotlight at the Oscars, fans are left to ponder: Is Ariana's whimsical gown a winner or a whimsical misstep? Who were the other standout icons of the night that had everyone buzzing? The 97th Oscars proved that when it comes to fashion, the red carpet is always a mixed bag of awe and opinions.

I imagine we will be seeing a lot more “wickedness” from both Ari and Cynthia. Wicked two comes out in November. 👍
