Here’s Our Annual Plebeian Read On The Fancy Clothes The Rich Folks Wore To The 2022 Oscars

The carpet has been rolled out and the celebs are all tizzied up to the nines. It’s Oscars day and that can only mean one thing: it’s time to have a squiz at all the stunning (and stunned mullet) looks on the red carpet.

There’s nothing I love more than sitting here in my workout leggings and an old band shirt (it’s Bright Eyes today) while I comb through all the fashions on an awards red carpet. There is no truer joy I get than passing all my judgements on people with shitloads of money making absolutely heinous dress choices.

The Oscars is basically the creme de la creme of the US awards circuit so you just know that people are going to be turning it out as hard as possible on the red carpet. Some of them hit the nail on the head, while others miss the nail completely and look more like a smacked thumb than anything.

So without further ado — let’s get into it, shall we?

Our Nicole Kidman was one of at least two gowns with this puff peplum (balloon skirts are coming back in, I bet you). This is a gorgeous shape on Nic, with the sparkle and flair coming through in the train/the long tail of the bow on her back, it seems.

One thing though, and repeat after me: we are not revisiting peplums again. No. This is a one-off and the peplum will NOT happen again.

I’m so sorry Caitriona Balfe but there’s simply too much going on here — either go the ruffle or the puff. This also would have worked much better as a mid-length skirt, and cinched in with a leg-hugging pencil cut.

The crop silk dress shirt with the long sequinned skirt is chef’s kiss, and a perfect way to ride the line of new generation Hollywood with old guard awards couture. She cannot do wrong for me.

It’s like she’s wearing a bouquet of roses, and I can only assume she naturally brings this gentle floral scent with her everywhere she goes.

Don’t think anyone else could get away with this kind of all-over texture, tbh.

The way this gown sits makes Megan look like a mermaid sitting on a rock as waves crash up around her and I wish I could feel like that just once in my pleb life.

The only thing I don’t like about this is the fact that the pants look like the Kmart work pants I used to wear to my checkout chick job at Coles in the early 2010s. I wish it matched the fabric of the sleeve and cape. Apart from that, 10s across the board.

Do wish it was more of a full suit — or just not a slight crop top. Or even a belt! Just a little something more to elevate this look even more.

I won’t lie though: Danielle Haim definitely looks like the kind of intimidating cool girl I’d see at Hope St Radio on a Sunday afternoon drinking orange wine in that simple black spaghetti strap ‘fit.

And while they weren’t wearing “everyone look at us” outfits, they managed to get their attention points about two seconds later by literally licking each other’s tongues in front of the Oscars red carpet.
