Hits and Misses on the Oscar Red Carpet

Best Dressed Men

Ryan Gosling

Barbie's Ken rocked a pink bedazzled suit with Barbie pink gloves and a cowboy hat for his performance of the nominated song "I'm Just Ken." The high-kenergy (sorry) performance was one of the night's biggest hits. Fortunately, Ken's hunky alter ego, Ryan Gosling, sported a custom black Gucci suit with silver trimmed beading and bright pink socks.

Sterling K. Brown

Best Supporting Actor nominee for his performance in "American Fiction," Sterling K. Brown brought a touch of traditional sophistication with his deep navy Dior Men custom suit. The impeccable details like a black satin scarf and bow tie, Bruno Magli Oxfords and classic cufflinks demonstrate why his is one of the season's best looks.

Dominic Sessa

Dominic Sessa, the young star of "The Holdovers" wore a custom Tom Ford classic tux with an oversized bowtie. Way to make an entrance to your first Oscars!

Riz Ahmed

British actor and rapper Riz Ahmed opted for a non-traditional black ensemble by Marni that featured a knee-length coat. Last year he wore Prada with an open shirt. Could this chic look be a precursor for a future that includes knee-length coats? If they all look like this, let's hope so.

Simu Liu

Simu Liu who played Rival Ken in the "Barbie" film showed some skin in a black Fendi tux with a low-cut tank top underneath. His jacket was held in place by a silver brooch-like attachment. Look out, Ken, your rival was every bit as fine as you were on Oscar's big night.

Worst Dressed Men

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

Dolce & Gabana should know better than to make a men's suit out of shiny, gun metal grey fabric. It was wrinkled, cheap-looking, and ill-fitting, but it did make Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson stand out in a sea of well-dressed, tuxedo-clad Hollywood elites. Probably not what he was going for.

John Krasinski

In a cream-colored tux with a sparkling brooch and coordinating cream bow tie, John Krasinski looked like he was about to get married. When standing next to his wife Emily Blunt, who was in a sparkling champagne gown with Tiffany jewels on the front, it would not be a stretch to assume the wedding was in Vegas.

Omar Rudber

Sure young actor Omar Rudberg has the body and the look for a shirtless Timothee Chalamet-type moment on the red carpet. But his cropped, double-breasted blazer looked much too casual for the Oscars. And it's already been done.

Eugene Lee Yang

Speaking of something that's already been done, Eugene Lee Yang sported a stunning scarlet red tailored waist coat with ball skirt and a long train. Nice look, but it felt a little too much like Billy Porter's statement gown at the 2019 Oscars.

John Cena

In 1974, a streaker ran across the stage at the Oscars while David Niven was introducing Elizabeth Taylor. Fifty years later, there's barely a person alive who remembers it, but Jimmy Kimmel and John Cena crafted a comic tribute to the moment that left a naked Cena onstage presenting the Oscar for Best Costume Design. The muscle-bound Cena did a fine job, but there were others in the room that might've brought something else to that role. Bad Bunny was in the house. Just saying...

And the Best of the Best

Best-dressed Actress: Emma Stone

Best-dressed Actor: Ryan Gosling

All in all, it was one of the best Oscar shows in a long time. The fact that most of the attendees showed up dressed like stars – be it good or bad – made it that much better. It'll be a long time 'til the red carpet is rolled out again. The Tonys, which are given out in June, care more about the craft than the couture. Let's hope there'll be a few movie stars there for our sake. Til next time, Joan Ranger here – signing off.
