The 2023 Oscars red carpet was a glittering affair, with stars and their stylists going all out for Hollywood’s biggest night. Among the looks that stole our hearts were a slew of white dresses and romantic pinks and purples.
But the glamour didn’t stop there. For the first time in decades, the Academy Awards rolled out a champagne-colored carpet instead of the traditional red one.
Jimmy Kimmel’s Conspiracy
In his first show since revelations that Trump tried to have him censored, Jimmy Kimmel took on conspiracy theorists who claim the students who spoke out after the Parkland shooting are actors.
As Kimmel slammed the conspiracy theorists, he pointed out Aaron Rodgers was a target. He also asked a guest, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, whether he was vaccinated against the novel coronavirus.
Angela Bassett’s Conspiracy
Angela Bassett looked sensational on the red carpet in a purple gown by Moschino. Lauded for her portrayal of Queen Ramonda in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the actress earned a Best Supporting Actress nomination and left a lasting impact with her striking one-shoulder ensemble.

Ava DuVernay’s Conspiracy
DuVernay, the director of Selma and the Oscar-nominated documentary 13th, is a rising Hollywood force. Her latest film is a piercing examination of our nation’s system of injustice, exposing the loophole in the 13th Amendment that allows slavery and involuntary servitude to continue unchecked.
At the 89th Academy Awards, DuVernay wore a dramatic silver-lace ball gown with long sleeves. She revealed that it was designed by a studio from a majority-Muslim country as an act of solidarity with those affected by President Trump’s immigration ban.
Pamela Ripa’s Conspiracy
Among the best looks on the 2023 Oscars red carpet was Kelly Ripa’s flawless ’90s bombshell waves. She was also seen sporting a stunning black sleeveless sheer gown by Jason Wu.
She was joined by her husband, Mark Consuelos, and fellow Live with Kelly and Ryan co-host Ryan Seacrest for the event. The trio were all smiles as they made the walk of fame to host their award show after-party.
Danai Gurira’s Conspiracy
Danai Gurira, who plays Michonne on The Walking Dead, made a statement on the red carpet wearing a sculptural purple dress. It’s part of Robert Wun’s collection that asks “Who am I?”
Gurira was one of many stars to slay the Oscars red carpet. She was joined by a few of her The Walking Dead co-stars like Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who brought his signature style to the party in an edgy white suit.
Mindy Kaling’s Conspiracy
Mindy Kaling made a major fashion statement on the Oscars red carpet, wearing a custom white Vera Wang gown that looked like it belonged in an art gallery. It was a stunning look that wowed fans on social media.
Her recent weight loss has also given her a more figure-hugging frame, which makes this gown even more of a standout. It was a look that deserved all the attention.
Michelle Yeoh’s Conspiracy
During the awards season, Michelle Yeoh has been a red-carpet standout. Her quiet elegance often leans towards classic glamour, but she also likes to experiment with different looks.
Throughout this awards season, Yeoh has displayed a remarkable penchant for audacious fashion choices. Notably, she graced the Palm Springs International Film Festival in a striking sculptural black gown designed by Schiaparelli, and turned heads at the BAFTA tea party with a chic lilac shorts suit. She even referenced her Chinese-Malaysian heritage through her choice of attire.
Glenn Close’s Conspiracy
When Glenn Close puts her mind to something, it seems like the universe always conspires to make it happen. That’s certainly true with her latest film, Albert Nobbs, based on an Irish novella.
Close co-wrote, produced and starred in the film, which was shot in Ireland with a largely Irish cast and crew. She earned an Oscar nomination for her work in the film.
Dwayne Johnson’s Conspiracy
Presently, Dwayne Johnson holds the esteemed title of the highest-earning actor in Hollywood, and his unwavering success suggests a lasting dominance in the industry for years ahead. He has a very impressive list of hit movies and has made his presence known in every role he’s been given.
He is a very dynamic display on the red carpet. He’s a very good presenter and is sure to rock the stage in 2023.
