Oscar 2022, all the looks on the red carpet

The one that took place on the red carpet of the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, where the 94th edition of the delivery of Academy Awards – the Oscarin short – it can only be told how a fight glamor between (what is now considered) Old and New Hollywood.

The parade of stars who walked the red carpet of this edition of the most prestigious film award in the world – which incidentally seems to have returned to its former glory after difficult years due to pandemics (and not only) – has made evident a macroscopic split between the way of understanding a moment of sensational media exposure like this between the well-worn stars who have excelled in the film industry for decades and those who have become mega divas only in more recent years.

In short, on the one hand the classic dream dresses, which except for more or less exciting variants are the same as always: Nicole Kidman in blue satin Armani Privé, the triumphant (in every sense) Jessica Chastain divinely degradé in lilac (like a good redhead, she knows which colors they enhance it), Gucci designer, Kirsten Dunst in the inevitable red bustier all flickering with ruffles, a vintage Lacroix fits perfectly, Penelope Cruz in black Chanel, so chic but also an anonymous thread, that you see it and you almost seem to have already forgotten it …

On the other hand, however, the new platoon of young stars who seize the opportunity on the fly to amaze, also and above all with their outfits that launch decidedly more risky fashion messages, perhaps more personal, unquestionably more aware.

In this sense, the simple micro couture shirt worn by Zendayaas if to contrast and want to ask forgiveness for the opulence of the sparkling maxi skirt, but above all the choice of the nominated Kirsten Stewart to enter the history of the Oscars thanks to black micro shorts and white shirt unbuttoned to the navel, but also that of the glamorous male counterpart, Timothée Chalametthat the shirt under the Louis Vuitton suit just forgets to put it on, daring the up to yesterday inosable bare chest.

But he is not the only rising star born in Hollywood to have upset the most stabilized style canons last night: the colleague Kodi Smith-McPhee choose a baby blue suit, Sebastian Yatra also prefers it baby, but in her case pink while Rickey Thompson he was not satisfied with just showing off his abs, he also wanted to decorate them with hanging crystals.

On the front “Outfits that in one way or another got noticed” we cannot fail to mention, at least, the monastic one of Uma Thurman – very high-necked and buttoned up -, the zipped one of Cynthia Erivo (a hinge, really ?!), that of Jada Pinkett-Smitha whirlwind of spinach-colored ruffles from which it is difficult to escape unscathed, the encore of twin necklines by Ariana DeBose And Tracee Ellis Ross and the absolute simplicity of an old (forgive us, that’s a way of saying) fox like Jamie Lee Curtis.

And if you really want to ask us for our favorites – you want, right? – then we have to rattle off three names: Zoë Kravitz in Saint Laurent, now an icon of absolute and global style, Lupita Nyong’o in Prada, which reminds us that a little bit of gold has never hurt anyone, e Maggie Gyllenhaal in Schiaparelli: the proven proof that being chic but also original is not only possible, but also beautiful.
