Notable moments included John Cena’s unconventional stage walk, baring all to present the Best Costume Design award, and Al Pacino’s unconventional approach of skipping nominations to announce the Best Film winner outright.

Amidst the buzz, the red carpet proved to be a hotspot for conversation, with a myriad of captivating outfits on display. Reports indicate that actress Kelly Ripa and husband Mark Consuelos stole the spotlight, sparking particularly fervent discussions on social media.

Celebrity fashion has long been a focal point of awards ceremonies, but in today’s age of instant sharing via social platforms, the discourse around red carpet attire has reached new heights of immediacy and global reach.

Given the immense scale of the Oscars and the star-studded attendees, it’s no surprise that every detail, including fashion choices, undergoes intense scrutiny and discussion.

Kelly Ripa’s fashion choice at the Oscars, a stunning black, see-through gown, certainly stirred up a storm of reactions online when she shared it on Instagram with the caption “Mom and dad storming the red carpet.”

Her legion of fans showered her with appreciation, with comments like “Beautiful gown. Beautiful couple” and “Kelly, your hair, the dress… you look gorgeous.”

However, not everyone was on board with her choice. Some questioned her decision to wear the dress, with comments ranging from “I love you Kelly but not this dress” to concerns about her perceived self-esteem.

Despite the mixed reactions, I personally thought Kelly and Mark looked fantastic! What do you think? Let us know in the comments!
