It\u2019s been a chaotic spell for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/earth\/delhi-smog-air-pollution-privileged-flee-the-city\/\">earth<\/a> and all her inhabitants. But a year of IRL drama naturally brings with it a spate of great films. From Sam Mendes\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/1917-review-sam-mendes-roger-deakins-world-war-1\/\">1<em>917<\/em><\/a> to the Safdie Brothers\u2019 <em>Uncut Gems<\/em> \u2013 and all the films that were controversially left off the roster of nominees \u2013 it\u2019s been a fabulous season for cinema, and the 2020 Oscars have been hotly awaited.\n\nAs always, the fun began on the red carpet where, apparently, everyone who has ever been a part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/health\/endgame-tonic-mental-health\/\">MCU<\/a> made a pact to dress up as superheroes. There was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/captain-marvel-review-a-reminder-of-why-we-fell-in-love-with-the-avengers\/\">Brie Larson<\/a> in a slinky champagne gown, complete with cape. Scarlett Johansson, soon to be seen as <em>Black Widow<\/em>, dealt with the trauma of being Marvel\u2019s second standalone superheroine by dressing to kill in a futuristic silver corset dress.\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/13.201.39.237\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1581341226.jpg\" alt=\"margot_robbie_oscar\" width=\"594\" height=\"402\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-59277\" \/>\n<figcaption>\n<p>Margot Robbie, who plays Harley Quinn, wore a floaty black gown and looked like a sea witch who makes sketchy bargains with mortals.<\/p>\n<p>ROBYN BECK\/AFP via Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\nFor once, the DC-verse refused to be left behind. Margot Robbie, who plays Harley Quinn, wore a floaty black gown and looked like a sea witch who makes sketchy bargains with mortals. <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/wonder-woman-gal-gadot-dc-comics-patty-jenkins-female-superhero\/\">Wonder Woman<\/a><\/em> Gal Gadot donned a black lace bodysuit with a massive pink skirt, clearly meant to be ripped off and cast aside for when she has to sprint after the bad guys (looking at you, Academy members who didn\u2019t watch Greta Gerwig\u2019s <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/how-greta-gerwigs-little-women-reclaims-the-brilliance-of-amy-march\/\">Little Women<\/a><\/em>.)

Her stunning Dior black-and-gold cape gown was embroidered with the names of women directors who missed out in the Best Director category. The all-male nominees included the usual suspects like Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino, leaving out women whose films were up for other awards. Portman\u2019s cape listed <em>Farewell<\/em> director Lulu Wang, Gerwig, Lorene Scafaria (<em>Hustlers<\/em>), Mati Diop (<em>Atlantics<\/em>), Marielle Heller (<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/a-beautiful-day-in-the-neighbourhood-review-tom-hanks-performance-fred-rogers\/\">A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood<\/a><\/em>), Melina Matsoukas (<em>Queen and Slim<\/em>), Celine Sciamma (<em>Portrait of a Lady on Fire<\/em>), and Alma Har\u2019el (<em>Honey Boy<\/em>). Most of these directors didn\u2019t get a chance to attend the Oscars, but Portman made sure they were there in spirit and letter.\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/13.201.39.237\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1581340860.jpg\" alt=\"natalie_portman_oscar\" width=\"569\" height=\"407\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-59276\" \/>\n<figcaption>\n<p>Natalie Portman&#8217;s stunning Dior black-and-gold cape gown was embroidered with the names of women directors who missed out in the Best Director category.<\/p>\n<p>Jeff Kravitz\/FilmMagic<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\nPortman wasn&#8217;t the only one saying it with clothes. Sleepwear was a popular theme, most likely a comment on how snooze-worthy the Oscars have become without a host to hold it together \u2013 although at least we had the excitement of <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/parasite-review-horror-comedy-class-warfare-bong-joon-ho\/\">Parasite<\/a><\/em> winning Best Picture. Bong Joon-Ho can finally go home.\n\nEighteen-year-old Billie Eilish was at the Oscars and even her pajamas were Chanel. I am 27 and spent my Sunday evening in a nightie from Colaba Causeway. But guess we are not the same. Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/a-little-late-with-lilly-singh-nbc-superwoman-youtuber\/\">Lilly Singh<\/a> chose an extravagant white bathrobe for the evening of her dreams. Given that Sandra Oh went to the trouble of hauling around a pair of 30-kilo ruffled sleeves and matching skirt, and Kristen Wiig fashioned a dress out of actual red carpet, surely Singh and Eilish could have done a bit more?\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/13.201.39.237\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1581342180.jpg\" alt=\"billie_eilish_oscar\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-59281\" \/>\n<figcaption>\n<p>Eighteen-year-old Billie Eilish was at the Oscars and even her pajamas were Chanel.<\/p>\n<p>Amy Sussman\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\nWhich brings us to the men\u2019s \u201cfashion.\u201d Leaving aside Billy Porter, the dudes were as boring as we\u2019ve come to expect. Spike Lee\u2019s purple suit was a graceful tribute to the late <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/how-does-a-fan-mourn-the-tainted-legacy-of-kobe-bryant\/\">Kobe Bryant<\/a>, while Timothee Chalamet in his Prada tracksuit looked like the Gen-Z captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team.\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/13.201.39.237\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1581340858.jpg\" alt=\"billy_porter_oscar\" width=\"541\" height=\"407\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-59275\" \/>\n<figcaption>\n<p>Oscar 2020 Men\u2019s \u201cFashion\u201d: Leaving aside Billy Porter, the dudes were as boring as we\u2019ve come to expect.<\/p>\n<p>Kevork Djansezian\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\nDespite these athleisure-inspired looks, the real MVP is Joaquin Phoenix\u2019s dry cleaner, who has ensured that Phoenix wears the exact same black tuxedo all through the awards season. No doubt this top red carpet award, like the Oscars themselves, will see its fair share of naysayers and haters. But when you think about the time a shrunken pair of trousers might have added to Phoenix\u2019s Best Actor acceptance rant, you\u2019ll agree that we all dodged a bullet from the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/joker-review-joaquin-phoenix-todd-phillips-the-dark-knight\/\">Joker<\/a><\/em>.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Oscars Red Carpet was not as snooze-worthy as the ceremony.
