Leaving aside the fact that this doesn't feel very OldR-y -- which has been happening a lot lately -- this looks SO GOOD on her! I get, theoretically, why she wanted color for the ceremony, but this is miles better than the red dress she wore at the awards. She looks terrific.

Carlos Lopez Estrada and Kelly Marie Tran
94th Annual Academy Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, USA - 27 Mar 2022
We somehow didn't see these photos from the red carpet, so I am including them here -- because they did change, as you'll shortly see, and also because I didn't want to neglect to cover this. They look great. Kelly Marie is wearing an ao dai and khan dong, which are traditional Vietnamese garments. The ao dai is "a long, split tunic worn over trousers," although it's hard to see the trousers here. The khan dong is her headpiece. I think she looks gorgeous. The press release from Thai Nguyen said, "The silk satin crepe pant, hand embroidered and beaded tulle lace detachable cape and handed beaded khan dong (headdress) was created by 6 artisans and took over 1400 hours to complete." AMAZING. I don't know how we missed this, but thank you so much to everything who sent up the flare! He also looks sharp, and was nominated for Raya and the Last Dragon, which she is in!

As you can see, they changed! (I think he has new trousers on as well, yes?) They look fab.

This is also just fantastic. Gotta love a redhead in green; I think she was right to go for the other Gucci to win in, but this is delish.

This is fine, but I think her ceremony gown was better -- having said that, her ceremony gown was MAJOR, and would have been hard to top.

Her look at the ceremony was....fine? It felt like a lukewarm Michelle Williams Vera Wang to me. But it was also no different in terms of shape to this and this is sort of boring, so....I don't know why she changed.

I read an interesting interview somewhere wherein Maggie G was noting that it's sort of hard to know how to dress as A Director rather than an actor, but I feel like trying to look like A Director has turned her sort of staid? I dunno. Great shoes, though!
