Oscar winner Brie Larson was so impressive in a pink metallic sequin stripe gown Celine with a sleek cape. Everything about this was so impressive and it has a glamorous superhero vibe, which is so suited to her. I love the high leg slit and she is owning this look. Kaiser was tweeting about how amazing Brie looked in this. It shows her figure yet it isn’t showing too much skin. This whole look is stunning and she’s styled perfectly for it too. Remember when Brie didn’t clap for Casey Affleck in 2017 and then talked about it? She’s awesome.
Brie’s co-presenter Gal Gadot was in a pink and black Givenchy. This has too much happening with all the ruffles and lace. The top and bottom of the gown look like they’re from two different dresses which have no business being combined into one.
Gal and Brie presented along with Sigourney Weaver. They talked about how Sigourney paved the way for them, which was nice, but it all felt a little forced. They were there to introduce the first woman conductor at the Oscars, Eimear Noone. As Cassie Da Costa at the Daily Beast pointed out, Noone only conducted one number, which was bizarre, and the whole lead-up was over the top. It was a big show of feminism in a ceremony that only talked about it and did little to honor it. That was typical last night. Sigourney was in a green Dior gown with a gathered bodice and a knot on one shoulder. The rope belt is a cool touch.
Finally here’s Geena Davis, who did not get enough recognition for her Romona Keveza gown or for her activism on behalf of women’s representation in media. She should have been a presenter.

I loved Brie’s look except for her shoes… her toes are distracting me.
Geena looked incredible!!
I like when beautiful celebrities have odd or ugly feet. It’s something you can’t really fix… feet can be such an equaliser!! Haha
Hahah I had to go back up and look at her feet. Looks like the shoes are maybe a bit too small?
Her feet aren’t ugly they are just horribly squished by the odd fit of the shoe
no, you can look up Brie’s feet on the internet. there are plenty of pics of her one jacked foot. it’s that one foot’s toe-the other one isn’t as long on the other foot but that one foot. OH MY GOD it’s all I can look at! that one freaking TOE. like in austin powers when he can’t stop sayin MOLE MOLE MOLE MOLE
On another note, the mature ladies i thought looked GREAT. Geena looks amazing, Regina King, and so does sigourney.
Feet is the first thing I noticed and now it’s all I see. I also wish the trend of putting jewelry on top of your top would just die a painful death. What a waist of diamonds
Must be tough for her to wear a normal, closed-toe shoe.
Now you all made me look up bride’s feet but it seems like her toes are totally normally in flats but one toe can’t bend and stays straight on heels and so seems weirdly long.
Did you all see the cutout back of Brie’s gown? She looked AMAZING!! Just gorgeous head to ankle. Those toes!! OUCH!! She needed to go up a size for her toes to fit.
Geena looks ageless. She looked perfect and deserves a lot more attention than she got.
I STILL don’t understand why the (female) conductor didn’t do the WHOLE SHOW instead of just ONE number?? If it’s a big enough deal to MAKE a big deal of it, then MAKE A BIG DEAL OF IT AND LET HER DO THE *WHOLE* SHOW!
Agreed. And did no one else look at Sigourney’s dress and think of Carol Burnet’s Scarlet O’Hara? With the green curtains, including rod? Sigourney is wearing the curtains, including the swag (is that the right term for the rope thing that ties a curtain back? or is that just a ‘curtain tie’?).
Brie was perfection. She has a fantastic figure and this dress showed it off.
As much as we favor all things Riot Grrrl, not sure if pussy peplum need rock on.
I actually really like all these looks, even Gal’s. There’s a lot going on but I think she can pull it off. Brie looks amazing – tha tmay be one of her best looks IMO.
Brie, Sigourney and Geena look fan freaking tastic.
Gal is beautiful. Her dress is not.
Gal is so beautiful that it takes a lot of work to make me think “ugh”… and this does that. It’s like someone’s costume for an 1980s Oscar theme party. She could have been wearing a dress put together from paper bags and I’d still like it better.
I think Gals dress is horrendously ugly. Like someone should be fired, ugly. No one told her? She didn’t have a single friend to tell her how fug it is?
Brie was the best look of the night for my money. But I love Gal’s dress, and I do think she totally pulls it off. Sigourney looks amazing, I love that color on her!
I was surprised at how fantastic Brie looked, she’s usually in the “miss” category but this is a total hit! The fit, color and cape perfectly suited her. My only criticism is that I wish her hair had been done differently, either an updo with more volume or down in stylized old Hollywood curls.
i see where you coming from with Brie’s hair but I think up is the right choice – down would have ruined the neckline of the dress – its backless and the plunge in front so wherever she wore her hair , over her shoulders or down her back, it’d negate the cut so up is best, but that said I find it a bit severe in it’s actual ‘do.
I think Brie’s colorist would have liked to have been consulted about the hairstyle. It’s a disaster.
I love the hair! I think it’s gives an edge to an otherwise very pretty look.
I also find the hair super sloppy. if you are going to do clean slick to the side, you best have your color locked down. Same for Renee Z. GET YOUR ROOTS DONE GURL, IT’S THE OSCARS.
Brie’s dress is STUNNING. But ouch the shoes!
I love Sigourney and Geena’s also, both look gorgeous. The green color is great.
Geena looked fabulous.
Brie looked great and Gal was a huge disappointment.
Brie is the new Angelina. Simply PERFECT.
I wouldn’t go that far but she looked amazing.
Jane…
Brie looked good, BUT come on girl… Brie is not as Beautiful as Angelina!! People can criticize how skinny Angelina is, BUT her face is FLAWLESS!! 😍
All the ladies are stunning. Yes Gadot looks confectionery, but eh. If your toes fall off the shoe please, do the right thing.
I thought Brie Larson and Geena Davis looked amazing, Sigourney Weaver’s dress is a beautiful color but looks like curtains and the rope belt only adds to that.
Miss Scarlett!
Ha! I said as much above! Miz Scarlett, Miz Scarlett!
I like Brie because she’s sort of plain and relatable.
No plane woman has her bone structure or her body.
Lol, that was… harsh, I think? But I see your point. At the same time her features are so “put together” that in some moments she might look better than a very pretty person (Margaret Qualley comes in mind).
Not saying she’s bad looking, no , she’s cute and fit. But her face is ordinary and her body is a normal fit body. Where I live , it’s common to be fit like that. I have friends who’ve had children and have even better figure than her. And they are not rich either. So I don’t get the fascination.
Tell me where you live so I’ll never get near it, lol, with all those super women I’d go back home crying.
Geena Davis looks so great! That gown is really cool. I don’t like that color on Brie. It makes her look sallow. I do like the gown, just not on her.
Sigourney and Geena are still so incredibly beautiful! Brie’s toe is trying to escape and just spoils the look. Gal is meh.
I think Gal was going for an 80s vibe? For WW1984? I like it if that was the intent.
Brief looks lovely, but the color is blah. And emerald green or sapphire blue would have really taken this look up a notch.
Brie & Geena were stunning. Gorgeous gowns! Brie’s body is amazing. Sigourney…yikes. Too much. Gal…fire your stylist. WTF was she wearing.
Brie is my current favorite for Best Dressed, tho I think she may have needed bigger shoes.
They only let her conduct one piece? What a joke! I guess “All women are superheroes” for putting up with this sh-t.
I’m not sure I’ve ever liked something Brie has worn on a red carpet before, but this is absolutely stunning. Best of the night, no contest.
I actually love Gal’s just for being wacky and different. I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about how “inappropriate” it is but if Chalamet can be excused for showing up in a tracksuit, Gal can wear her Barbie dress too.
I was not a fan of all the pale pinks. And while I loved pale pink and black together when I was a kid, I find it pretty tacky now most of the time unless done really well. And I don’t understand why Geena wasn’t a presenter. And yes, the girl power stuff was so insulting in light of the way the actual awards still ignore women.
This made me laugh because I’m sitting here, sipping my coffee, in my pale pink with black polka dots Kate Spade night shirt! 😂 And I’m definitely past being a “kid” 😄
Gal’s isn’t as bad as Laura’s. I don’t like the black and pink together, but I think it’s because it’s a formal dress. I wouldn’t mind it on pjs or a blouse or scarf.
Brie looks fantastic, and I can’t believe some are focusing on her freaking toes.
Sigourney Weaver looks like a goddess.
I was just about to type – Sigourney is a goddess! Her face … and the saturated green of that dress are perfection.
Loved Brie as well; the dress had glamour and sophistication and fit perfectly.
I love Brie and she is one of the few people in Hollywood who dont annoy me. She looked amazing.
Gal is a beautiful woman with a beautiful figure and this entire look is a hot a$$ mess. Doesn’t do anything for her.
Brie’s dress was lovely. Sigourney should have worn her glasses because she muffed a couple of lines. Gal may have been going for a fussier variation of Sharon Stone’s presenter outfit years ago when she wore a plain snug T-shirt with a dressy long skirt. Sharon did it better.
I remember that! The black Gap turtleneck T shirt! https://www.scoopnest.com/user/BuzzFeedRewind/569648347927064578-remember-when-sharon-stone-wore-a-gap-tshirt-to-the-1996-oscars
THIS was one of my favs of hers though, effortless glamour:

That’s a pretty gown on Brie. Gal’s star seems to be falling fast after Wonder Woman. She doesn’t look great here and she’s a stunning woman. A lot of the looks falling flat for me is this awful center part/hair stuck to the skull look going on. It’s just bad.
Sigourney and Geena, KILLING IT.
WW84 comes out this year, is almost guaranteed to makes an absolute tonne of money. She basically made the first one, did some reshoots while pregnant, had a baby, recovered a bit, and started working on the second one.
I’m glad to hear it. I knew about the reshoots for the first one and honestly didn’t know a second was in the making so that makes me excited for her!
Sass- Gal is also slated, afaik, to star in Ken Branaugh’s Death on the Nile (his Poirot followup to Murder on the Orient Express). She is supposed to be the main character of Linnet Doyle.
@rapunzel 😱 I’m so excited!! Thank you for filling me in! I love her and want to see more from her.
I LOVE a cape, so Brie was an automatic yes for me. Beautiful color, too. Gina Davis also looked stunning.
Gal Gadot is literally one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen, and I’m not clear on how she could look THIS BAD. That dress is like playing dress-up when you’re 4. Horrible and tacky.
Wow–Brie looks sublime. My best-dressed of the night!!!
The Academy’s reaction to the well earned critique that they don’t nominate or hire women as equally as men, to be using a woman conductor, one time, for one song and then patting themselves on the back….nope.
She looked amazing in this outfit. Just think if Blac Chyna would actually surrender to wearing something this classy yet still be able to show off her (questionable) assets.
Ever since Captain Marvel, Brie just looks robotic, posing like she’s emotionless in photographs. That does not read as heroic or impressive to me, just leaves me sort of cold. She has an amazing figure though, and because of her proportions most gowns will look great on her. Gal’s dress is too fussy, but whatever, her attitude/personality is what makes her glow (Brie could consider this.) Sigourney and Geena both looked elegant.
Met Brie at a con last year she was absolutely lovely and encouraging to everyone. Gal is a model, not much of an actress, so she’s good at posing. I also find her corny and shallow. Whereas Brie is outspoken and does what she preaches and is getting a lot of flack for that. So imho Brie doesn’t need to consider anything. She’s fine and doesn’t need to cater to anyone.
I recommend reading the link in the post about the oscars patting themselves on the back for the female composer. Lots of good points
All I can say is thank goodness Gal Gadot and Laura Dern weren’t photographed together.
I love Brie’s and Geena’s dress. Gal looks like she was wearing two different dresses.
