Regina Hall wore Yara Shoemaker to the 2026 Oscars: should have been nominated?

Regina Hall
The Supporting Actress category was crowded this season but they should have made room for Regina Hall! One Battle After Another could have been the film with two supporting actress nominations, I’d be fine with that. It was not Best Picture worthy over Sinners, but it had some great performances. Regina embodied old school no-nonsense activist Deandra. At the Oscars last night she was in an asymmetric Yara Shoemaker gown featuring a gold panel at the bodice and a dramatically draped folded neckline. Regina is 55 and if I didn’t know anything about her I’d put her at 20 years younger. She also looks so pretty with that bob. I know this style is not for me but the more women I see rocking a bob the more I want to try it.

I’m including Spike Lee and his wife Tonya Lewis because they looked so fashionable on the carpet! They were early standouts. She’s wearing gold ribbed cutout LaQuan Smith and she looks amazing. He’s in Off-White by Virgil Abloh and is carrying a gold cassette bag by Runyaro.

Danielle Brooks was also in gold. She’s in a Georges Chakra gown. When I see this in still photos I don’t like some of the details. In footage on the carpet last night she looked great though, probably because her personality carries it.

Model Beca Michie was also in Georges Chakra. This looks meh in still photos but you can see it in motion on Beca’s Instagram and like Danielle’s gown it’s much better.

  1. Danielle is gorgeous but this gown did nothing for her. Her hair, skin makeup popped and I was happy to see here on the red carpet. Tonya Lewis looked phenomenal and Spike’s cassette tape bag was cool.

    I think Regina looked fantastic and yes, she should have been nominated.

    Spike Lee looking like someone’s granny! His wife in that gold is gorgeous, though.

    I don’t like any of these looks. And I wish Regina’s bob was softer. I don’t think the blunt cut works

    Regina seemed over it last night. She gave an awesome performance and it got ignored by everyone and so many people seemed to forget she’s in that movie too

    So glad to see Spike Lee there with his wife. He really looks jovial and I’m glad he’s happy. He’s having a fun time with his fashion, too. One of my favorite directors who can do anything. His documentaries (Four Little GIrls and When the Levees Broke?) were fantastic. He is fantastic.

    Who is designing for Off White these days? I know Virgil passed away in 2021.

    Regina looked great. The dress was different and her bob was bobbing. Nice to see Spike Lee. His wife in that gold is hot.
