It was a lively and exciting evening in Los Angeles this past Sunday at the 96th Academy Awards, held at the famous Dolby Theater. The night was full of surprises and unforgettable moments, keeping everyone on their toes.
One of the most talked-about moments came when John Cena boldly walked across the stage, completely naked, to present the award for Best Costume Design. The crowd was stunned but couldn’t stop laughing at the unexpected twist.
Another jaw-dropping moment followed when legendary actor Al Pacino took to the stage. Instead of reading off the nominations for Best Film as everyone expected, he simply skipped straight to revealing the winner, leaving the audience surprised and amused.
The night wasn’t just about what happened on stage. The red carpet, as usual, was a fashion showcase, and this year was no exception. There were countless eye-catching outfits, but one couple in particular stole the show – actress Kelly Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos. Social media was buzzing with excitement over Kelly’s daring fashion choice.
In this age of social media, red carpet fashion is instantly broadcast around the world. With just a few clicks, photos of celebrities in their extravagant outfits are shared and discussed in real-time. And the Oscars, being one of the biggest events of the year, is always under the spotlight, with fans and critics alike ready to analyze every detail.
This year, Kelly Ripa found herself at the center of the online fashion conversation. She uploaded a photo of herself and Mark on Instagram, showing off her outfit: a bold, black see-through gown. Her caption read, “Mom and dad storming the red carpet,” and it quickly gathered attention.
Fans flocked to the comments to express their admiration. One fan enthusiastically commented, “You both look amazing. BUT that dress is stunning ❤❤❤.” Another added, “Beautiful gown. Beautiful couple.” And a third person praised her, saying, “Kelly, your hair, the dress… you look gorgeous.”
But as with any bold fashion choice, not all feedback was positive. Some people were not as thrilled with her outfit. One user respectfully commented, “I love you Kelly, but not this dress.” Another critique was aimed at her husband’s look, with someone writing, “Unlike Mark not to have a perfectly tailored suit or tux on. His clothes are usually impeccable.”
There were even harsher opinions from some viewers. One commenter criticized, “Kelly, wear some bike shorts. You are lowering yourself in that see-through dress. You’re better than that!” And another remarked, “She doesn’t even look like the same person anymore ?♀️.”
Despite the mixed reactions, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos certainly captured everyone’s attention that night, proving that the Oscars are just as much about the fashion as they are about the awards.
