Stars like Timothee Chalamet, Ariana Grande, Demi Moore, and others embraced the Oscar fever, but not all of their fashion choices were given the thumbs up by social media users.
Cynthia Erivo was widely complimented for her vintage outfit.
The Best Actress nominee wore an embroidered dress and coat from Givenchy’s archive, paired with custom Louboutins.

Social media users praised her look, saying she was “in full bloom” during the event.
“This is one of her best looks from this awards season, she looks so stunning in yellow!!! JUST WOW!!” another fan praised.
Meanwhile, Erivo’s Wicked co-star, Ariana Grande, also went vintage, wearing a black archival gown by Saint Laurent with pink feathers.

“Gorgeous,” “Stunning,” and “absolutely amazing” were the praises used by the internet to describe her outfit.
“Her dress is so beautiful,” one commented.
Demi Moore ditched the idea of dresses and gowns and opted for a white suit by Nina Ricci. The suit’s open back added a glamorous touch to The Substance star’s outfit.

Zoe Saldana, nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Emilia Perez, kept things simple, sleek, and stylish with a burgundy Saint Laurent dress.
After the dinner, the actress shared a clip of her posing for the cameras and said, “Thank you for tonite @theacadmy. I’m still in disbelief I am here!”

Timothée Chalamet’s GapStudio outfit sparked mixed opinions online, with some saying the Best Actor nominee was “effortlessly stylish” and “looking handsome.”
“Timothée Chalamet looked stylish at the Oscars Nominees Dinner, exuding elegance in a sharp outfit,” another wrote.
Another praiser said, “Absolute style icon! He’s always serving looks!”

Critics, one the other hand, claimed “his stylist hates him.”
“Creepy outfit,” said one comment.
Another star who dug up the fashion archives for her outfit was Mikey Madison.
The star, who bagged a Best actress nomination for her role in Anora, attended the star-studded event in a dark blue velvet gown by Bill Blass from 1987.

Diane Warren, who has 16 Oscar nominations so far, hopes to finally take home the golden statuette this year.
Up for Best Original Song for The Journey from The Six Triple Eight, Warren was awarded an honorary Oscar in 2022 but hasn’t won a competitive one so far.
“I would like to break my decades-long tradition and win,” she told Variety earlier this month.

Other attendees at the event included Sebastian Stan, Isabella Rossellini, Fernanda Torres, Edward Norton, Colman Domingo, Jeremy Strong, and others.
“Everyone say Oscar nominee!” Erivo yelled from the front row as the Oscar–nominated guests posed for a group photo before taking their seats for dinner.
The group photo was slammed for seemingly lacking “diversity.”
“I’ve seen icebergs with more diversity than… this,” one said.
“The most diversity in this photo is the hair color of the girl in the front row,” another quipped.

The annual photo is normally taken at a nominees’ luncheon. However, the event was canceled this year due to the devastating wildfires that struck Los Angeles.
Academy President Janet Yang told the nominees at the dinner that the Academy Awards, which will take place this Sunday, March 1, will have an “atmosphere of support” for those recovering from the fires.
“The show, the big show, the Oscar show, you know what I’m talking about, will of course go on, and we simply must honor the talent, your talents, this year, as we have every year,” Yang said while addressing the guests.

“We must, because it brings so much joy to people all over the world,” she added.
She informed the nominees that their acceptance speeches should be limited to 45 seconds, which said admitted “doesn’t sound like a lot.”
“But you can definitely get a lot in there,” she added. “What works best is to be heartfelt, humorous if you like, poignant, inspirational, but brief.”
“They look so beautiful,” one commenter said, while another said there was “too much elegance”

I'm really starting to hate that "helpless waif" facial expression Ariana Grande always has on her face these days.

I dunno. Aeriola Grande looks like she went into the sewing cabinet and grabbed some pink yarn leftover from Grandma's blanket and some black toulle and called it a night

Without the pink fluffy add-on but it would probably look lovely. That bit just looks like an after thought.
