Two really funny things happened with the Oscar presenters. One, Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. completely bombed as they tried to revive some interest in their latest Avengers movie. It was a spectacular collective moment of “ugh, not this.” The other moment was when Anne Hathaway and Anna Wintour co-presented for Best Costume Design and Best Makeup & Hairstyling. Their bit landed spectacularly, especially Wintour ignoring Anne’s question about her dress, and Wintour calling her “Emily.” Who knew that Anna Wintour has great comedic timing? Anne’s dress here was Valentino and I agree with Anna.
Odds and ends… Odessa A’Zion also wore Valentino. This was a mess, but they said on E! that she styles herself and even does her own hair and makeup. Which is actually sort of cool.
Adrien Brody & Georgina Chapman – Chapman’s dress is so dated, my god. And yet it was on-trend, because so many designers are really trying to bring back this style.
Barbie Ferreira wore Zac Posen for Gap Studio. People were raving about this and while she looks lovely and the color is great, the design is so… meh. We’ve seen this dress a million times in much better versions.

Oh, Anne, my forever girl crush, what are you doing to your beautiful face?? So many of the women last night only vaguely resembled themselves- if you told me they all sent body doubles I wouldn’t completely reject that as conspiracy theory.
She looked exactly like herself, just a little older, but beautiful. No huge cheek filler.
I agree with you, @FancyPants, she’s had a lot of work done and it’s really unfortunate.
I did NOT recognize her. I clocked her as Dua LIpa!!!
Anne Hathaway look beautiful and still looks like herself, but as always people like sheep herd mentality hear anything about a person and just see that when it’s not true.
Anne and Gwenyth both looked like ladies who look like those movies stars.
100% yes. What society is doing to women’s faces now is awful.
Anne Hathaway is such a good sport.
She is! I will always like her.
AW critiquing others’ style while wearing yet another poorly-executed version of her ‘long-past its due date personal style’ is rich. Even for her.
The Devil film was one of the best things to happen to Anna W as Streep made her more competent and sympathetic than the book. But yea the bit was good.
Agreed and props to her for agreeing to do it.
I actually loved Odessa A’Zion’s look … though it might have been better for the after-parties. I thought she looked cool and very herself.
I liked it too. My teen daughter thinks she has great style, Gen Z loves her
That was ANNE HATHAWAY? I literally did not know it was her. I saw the clip (with subtitles, no audio) and 100% thought that was some actress I’d never seen before.
I gasped when I saw Anne Hathaway’s gown. My favorite of the night. Channeling the 80s aesthetic without being costumey. The fabric is so luxe, lush, dramatic, it’s fitted to perfection. And that necklace is MAJOR. Styling is great. And the opera length gloves look suitably expensive and not Party City. She looks like the richest bitch in the joint! Such a pure Valentino moment.
Man. I gasped out loud too when I saw AH on stage! STUNNING. Favorite of the night along with Rose Byrne and Elle Fanning. I cannot believe they got Anna W. to do it and it landed so hilariously. Emily. Has Ann H. had some work done probably. Is it great work. Definitely.
I think Anne looked absolutely beautiful, there were plenty of others there with tremoundously jacked up faces, like Mrs Bezos (cough) . and I was amused to see AW’s head swivel beneath her enormous wig as she put on her shades
Georgina Chapman sure knows how to pick them, doesn’t she?
The avengers bit was blah (almost all the bits were, as usual, or went too long like the Bridesmaids one) but I’m online a bunch and there’s plenty of interest in Doomsday. Half of Hollywood is in it at this point. I’ll be at DWP2 opening night but if you think it’s going to earn a third of what Doomsday does I’d avoid any betting sites!
I’m not a big Anne Hathaway fan and this one of the best of the night easily.
