Chase Infiniti was arguably snubbed for an Oscar nomination, but I loved that she kept showing up to award shows and having a blast. She got on stage twice at the Oscars, first as a presenter and then when One Battle After Another won Best Picture. I really hope OBAA and this awards season was her “a star is born” moment, because she’s amazing. I wouldn’t have chosen this custom Louis Vuitton gown for her, but it suits her and you could tell that she felt amazing in it. It’s big and girly and dramatic and it looked amazing on stage. She’s so beautiful too, so it is that thing where she would make a burlap sack look glam.
I feel so bad saying this about Emma Stone because I think so highly of her as an actress, but man, Emma’s face is looking crazy these days. Last night on Twitter, I said I thought it was a brow lift but many people said no, it was a full facelift. I don’t know. Her Louis Vuitton dress was such a nothingburger – the fashion commentators said she’s been going some ‘90s minimalism for this awards season, but I think it’s more like Louis Vuitton has just been giving her some really cheap-looking pieces.
Wunmi Mosaku also wore Louis Vuitton, a custom look because she’s so far along into her pregnancy. LV killed it here – an amazing color, amazing design, and she just looked glowing and gorgeous. I was disappointed that she didn’t win, but I was rooting for her or Amy Madigan.
Renate Reinsve’s Louis Vuitton was controversial – it was all one piece of fabric, and many of the fashion people were raving about it, but I really disliked this. It’s just an elevated tube dress, and it’s more of a party dress than an Oscar dress. The color is nice though.

The commentary by the broadcasters on her hair (they said her hair looked undone) was racist and in 2026 very ignorant. I expect better. She looked amazing
I missed that. Mygawd. She was stunning. I was torn on the category between her and Amy, but her Oscar will come.
Beautiful colour on Chase, really lovely.
Wunmi looked incredible, that colour and her presence!
The color of Wunmi’s dress! That one’s my favorite but Chase was a close second.
I hated Emma’s dress too. it looks like something a 12 year old would wear. unflattering.
Renate almost had a major wardrobe malfunction when she came up on stage, though, that dress almost came completely off. She was pulling at it and holding it up the whole time she was up there.
I really hope the GFY team highlights Wunmi’s styling for award season because she’s looked radiant and perfectly-calibrated for each luncheon, appearance, and award show that she attended. She’s stood out not just because of her pregnancy (which was treated as an accessory and not something to hide) and joyful-yet-sophisticated bright colors that enhance her glow. The color of her Oscar gown is perfect – not emerald, not aqua-teal, but a beautiful peacock color that shimmered like peacock feathers due to the sequins. I am not mad that Amy Madigan won but I wanted Wunmi to win because I could not stop thinking about her character after seeing Sinners.
