Models Leo and Gigi’s Oscar Weekend Almost everyone was in LA this weekend for the Oscars, even if they had nothing to do with the Oscars. It’s a working weekend for some – they’re networking, they’re setting up meetings, they’re there for the gossip, and they’re there to be seen. After all, By Lainey • Mar 14, 2023 11:02 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Intro for March 14, 2023 Dear Gossips, As I mentioned yesterday, this year’s Oscars were a return to the Oscars as we always knew them which applies to the event itself and the spectacle of the red carpet but also the entire Oscars weekend – the party circuit was back on full blast. As The By Lainey • Mar 14, 2023 09:42 am
Oscars 2023 Duana’s Best Dressed: Rihanna The worst thing Lainey and I ever did where our analyses of awards show fashion year-over-year is concerned was to introduce the concept of lifetime achievement/ retirement. Because once we did it for Zendaya – a decision we stand behind – it became obvious that we would run into the same problems, By Duana • Mar 13, 2023 04:56 pm
Oscars 2023 Lainey’s Best Dressed: Lady Gaga It was reported last week that Lady Gaga would not be performing “Hold My Hand”, her Oscar nominated song from Top Gun: Maverick, at the Oscars. No word at the time on whether or not she would attend. Then, curiously, on Saturday, a day before the Oscars, there was word By Lainey • Mar 13, 2023 04:32 pm
Oscars 2023 Sarah’s Best Dressed: Cara Delevingne I’m not going to get into the full breadth and depth of my hatred for the arrivals setup of the Oscars, suffice to say, I hated it with the fire of ten thousand suns and it did everyone who wore white/ neutrals/ pastels dirty. Literally! That carpet was dirty! By Sarah • Mar 13, 2023 04:13 pm
Style All the Oscar Silver-Whites There were a lot of white dresses, or white-silver dresses, on the Oscar carpet last night. My favourite was Michelle Williams, who’s now gone back to her pixie cut, after keeping her hair chin length-ish for a while now. It’s perfect with this sheer caped Chanel, the silk By Lainey • Mar 13, 2023 03:49 pm
Top Reads Michelle and Halle: History and History You know what Sarah wrote earlier about Angela Bassett wanting the Oscar and being disappointed about not winning the Oscar? And not hiding the fact that she was disappointed, which is her right? Well Michelle Yeoh wanted it too and she wasn’t hiding it either. Moments before the Best By Lainey • Mar 13, 2023 03:01 pm
Oscars 2023 One Woman, Still Talking It is amazing to me how many people were thrilled by Sarah Polley’s win last night. And the most disparate people, who to my knowledge would have no particular connection – I mean, not that they need one, any more than I do to, like, Nicole Kidman’s wardrobe, but By Duana • Mar 13, 2023 12:30 pm
Oscars 2023 Janelle and Salma: Two Orange Oscar looks If we were just going by their outfits on a hanger, I would have preferred Janelle Monae’s Oscar look to Salma Hayek’s, no question. I may not even have noticed Salma Hayek’s dress on a hanger because on a hanger it’s just another sequin – among a By Lainey • Mar 13, 2023 12:01 pm
Oscars 2023 Top Gunners without Tom Despite being nominated as a producer in the Best Picture category, Tom Cruise was a no-show at the Oscars. I wonder if Jimmy Kimmel knew that, or if it was a late-stage decision, because his intro transitioned from a bit about him ejecting from Maverick’s jet, and it kind By Sarah • Mar 13, 2023 11:29 am
Oscars 2023 Colin Farrell, Banshees, and The Terrible, Wonderful Luck of The Irish Why did you go see The Banshees of Inisherin? Even if I weren’t a writer on this site or a part of this industry, I would have seen it, sooner or later, because of the part Irish thing. Not that an Irish person in 2023 would agree with that By Duana • Mar 13, 2023 10:51 am
Oscars 2023 The Little Mermaid’s janky commercial Disney is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, as is Warner Bros. (Discovery). Both studios had featurettes during the ceremony marking their milestone years. Really, they were more advertorials, Disney straight up debuted the full trailer for The Little Mermaid, and Warners went with a sizzle reel of mostly recent By Sarah • Mar 13, 2023 10:06 am
Oscars 2023 Nicole Kidman’s Best Actress Dress Code Nicole Kidman is a beautiful woman, no question. She’s tall and striking, no question. Is it absolutely beyond the pale for me to suggest that has nothing to do with why she looks so damn good all the time? I mean yes, it’s preposterous. Of course it’s By Duana • Mar 13, 2023 09:34 am
Oscars 2023 So are we all shipping FloField? It was predictable – the moment it was revealed on Saturday that Florence Pugh would be presenting with Andrew Garfield, you knew social media would have something to say about it. Good things to say about it. Flo is an internet favourite. There’s a corner of Twitter that is obsessed By Lainey • Mar 13, 2023 09:06 am
Oscars 2023 Team RRR at the Oscars Despite being a sprawling historical epic with comedy, drama, romance, friendship, and leopard fights, RRR only earned one Oscar nomination, for Best Original Song. But it won that Oscar, making “Naatu Naatu” both the first Telugu-language film to win an Oscar, and first Indian film to win Best Original Song. By Sarah • Mar 13, 2023 08:48 am
Outfit of the Week Let Angela Bassett feel her feelings It wasn’t exactly surprising, given how momentum shifted after Jamie Lee Curtis won the SAG Award for Best Supporting Actress, but still, there was a sting in her winning the Oscar over Angela Bassett. And Bassett felt it, you could tell. As Curtis’s name was read, Bassett didn’ By Sarah • Mar 13, 2023 07:57 am
