Oscar Night: It is, as the ads say, the biggest night in Hollywood. The final and most important of all many movie award shows, absolutely every major actor, actress, and filmmaker attends the annual celebration of movies from good to good. Attendees walk the red carpet, laughing gleefully at the host's irreverent jokes and crying through his emotional acceptance speeches (or sitting back in their seats pretending to be happy for the colleague who punched them).
Whether they're winners, nominees, presenters or just in attendance, these stars do it all in priceless elegant evening gowns...or boring tuxedos with bow ties. (Or, if they're Björk, the greatest item of clothing in fashion history.)
For everyone we routinely see at home, celebrities really only have one job when they hit the red carpet: wear clothes and look good in them. Alas, that's too high a request for the handful of celebrities unfortunate enough to experience an Oscar night "wardrobe malfunction."
Gurls from California will split their dresses
At the 2017 Academy Awards, Katy Perry wore a sparkly and tasteful asymmetrical Jean Paul Gaultier gown with uneven shoulders and a floor-length ripped skirt component, but she ripped even more while the pop star wore it.
When Perry leaned in to watch a live broadcast of the Oscars while she waited for Vanity Fair's Oscars after-party to begin, a photographer snapped an unfortunate photo of the singer from behind her. At her snap, the top of her dress separated from the bottom of her dress, exposing some strips of fabric and some of Perry's dresses.
Any other year, Perry's open dress would be the most discussed and Googled moment of the night, but her fashion remains relatively obscure because it happened around the same time as the biggest Oscars in history, when La La Land was announced. erroneously as the best movie winner due to an envelope mix-up.
Blanca Blanco's n+ked illusion
Blanca Blanco, star of obscure movies like Teen Star Academy, is probably best known for a wardrobe malfunction at the 2017 Academy Awards. She attended with her boyfriend, actor John Savage (who starred in Oscar-winning movies like The Hunter). deer and The Godfather: Part III,) and she arrived in an elegant greenish-yellow piece.
The gigantic poofs of fabric on her shoulders and around her neck were eye-catching, but didn't detract too much from the dress's incredible high-cut slit…revealing Blanco's bathing suit area. She wasn't going to do a command under the dress, but she was wearing a suit that matched her skin color so well that it looked like she was showing it off to everyone on the red carpet.
She had no idea that she had revealed her underwear (or more) of hers and it made a viral splash until her phone started exploding during the Oscars ceremony. "When I was watching the show, people were texting me and saying, 'You're like everywhere, they say you don't have any underwear,'" Blanco told the Daily Mail. "I'm so embarrassed."
In a twist of tragic irony, Blanco would have worn the gown as the centerpiece of a calculated effort to land it on a "Best Dressed" list. After all, her 2015 Oscars outfit — a flowing, oddly made red and black dress of hers — had earned her a spot on more than one "Worst Dressed" list. "I was hoping this year would be different," she said.
Just when you thought Anne Hathaway couldn't get any happier
When you think of "Anne Hathaway" and "Oscar disaster," you probably think of that time she co-hosted the ceremony alongside James Franco, sleepy-eyed and smarmy, but perhaps Hathaway's most unfortunate Oscar moment occurred the night she won the best actress award of 2013 Oscar for Les Miserables.
Hathaway walked the Red Carpet in a pink Prada dress that was quite charming and tasteful, except that the seams in the front of it extended over Hathaway's chest in such a way that it pointed to and accentuated her bosom.
Interestingly, this wasn't the only wardrobe mishap Hathaway experienced during that awards season. At the Critics' Choice Movie Awards, she broke the strap on her dress and the zipper on the dress she wore to the Screen Actors Guild Award almost faded.
By George, Elisabetta Canalis is saved!
Do you remember Elisabetta Canalis? She's a charming and talented Italian actress, but in the US she's best known as one of the many romantically doomed women George Clooney had to settle for before marrying the former Amal Alamuddin, a human rights lawyer who bears a strong resemblance. to Anne Hathaway.
Regardless, Clooney took Canalis to the 2010 Academy Awards, where she was nominated for her performance in On Air. Canalis was wearing an elegant red strapless Roberto Cavalli number… which parted from her behind her just as she and Clooney were due to hit the red carpet. Canalis had brought in celebrity hairstylist Jonathan Antin in case of a hair grant, but according to Antin, it was Clooney who saved Canalis from falling out of her dress.
"George said, 'Wait a second, I have experience with this. She used to work in suits, honey,'" Antin told the New York Post. That's when Clooney "grabbed the needle and thread from her and started to sew the zipper on her. He did an amazing job».
Gwyneth Paltrow tangled big time
There aren't many Oscar winners, GOOP gurus, and self-aware uncouplers that Gwyneth Paltrow has in common with heavy metal legend Glenn Danzig, except that they both chose to wear sheer mesh tops in public.
She makes sense for the "Mother" singer and Misfits frontman: she's super "metal." But Paltrow is decidedly non-metal, even though she wore an Alexander McQueen gown with a sheer mesh bodice to the 2002 Academy Awards. One thing she didn't wear to that ceremony: a bra.
In 2013, Paltrow apologized on GOOP (via Today) for the controversial "goth" garment. “There were some problems; I still love the dress itself, but I should have worn a bra," Paltrow said. If she could do it over again, she said she too would style her hair differently and wear less makeup. "So, it would have worked out the way I wanted: a little bit of punk at the Oscars."
Judy Greer Suffers a Killer Ball Attack
In 2012, charming character actress Judy Greer – Kitty Sanchez in Arrested Development – attended the Academy Awards and blended into the pantheon of A-list demigods because she had appeared in multiple nominees. The descendants. However, it wasn't the magical night at the Hollywood ball that we hoped it would be for Greer, and that was largely due to her dress.
Greer was wearing a piece by designer Monique Lhuillier. She described it in her book, I Don't Know What You Know Me From: Confessions of a Co-Star (via Vanity Fair), as "tight, black, and modified to suit all my curves, and there are plenty."
Greer says that literally the moment she stepped onto the red carpet, someone accidentally stepped on the hem of the dress, causing the fringe of silver beads that adorned the front of the garment to rapidly loosen, unravel and scatter. Greer added that "I was starting to get trampled on due to the fact that I couldn't move because my publicist was on all fours in front of me trying to sew my dress and keep more beads from falling all over the place with the little sewing kit I kept." in your bag.”
Oscar night: ruined. "I stopped to take photos but couldn't do any interviews," Greer lamented. "I was afraid if I opened my mouth to speak, I would cry, because I was sobbing inside."
Emma Stone and the unexpected virtue of underwear
Emma Stone attended the 2015 Academy Awards as a first-time nominee for her role as a recovering drug addict for Best Picture winner. Birdman or (The unexpected virtue of ignorance). She didn't win that night (losing to Patricia Arquette in Boyhood), but she made quite a few "Best Dressed Oscars" lists for her delicate, green sequined Elie Saab Haute Couture gown that looked like it was made from the most beautiful diamond-studded seaweed ever. the oceans had to offer.
But Stone's dress would also make it onto other lists... like this collection of unfortunate and almost profane Oscar dress mishaps. That dress was so light and airy, and sported a deep thigh-high slit, that Stone briefly revealed her flesh-colored undergarments to several and assorted Red Carpet photographers and stargazers.
Jenny McCarthy is educated by Valentino
It's hard to imagine now, but there was a time in history when Jenny McCarthy was able to get an invite to the Academy Awards. That time was in 1997, and McCarthy made the most of it by wearing a Valentino gown that's so late in the '90s, just looking at it will make OMC's "How Bizarre" stick in your head for the rest of the day. It's got a floral pattern with sequins and sheer sections on the side, and it all comes together firmly at the neckline with no cleavage areas, so yeah, very '90s, but not one that lets anything slip away, right?
Incorrect. McCarthy somehow managed to screw it up. She told Us Weekly that while her dress made her feel "like a million bucks," everything was extremely tight around her chest area. When she ran into the real Valentino (he goes by just "Valentino") at the Oscars, though, she thanked the legendary designer for dressing her, to which he responded with an explanation as to why her dress was so incredibly uncomfortable: "You "you wear it backwards".
The only time Oprah made a mistake
This news may surprise us: Oprah Winfrey is an imperfect human being. Sure, she's superior to 99.9 percent of all people, but she's a mortal who sometimes makes bad decisions. In 1986, Winfrey attended her first Academy Awards, where she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Color Purple. Before the big night, Winfrey didn't do the one thing everyone knows you should do with clothes: try them on.
As she recounted on a post-2012 Oscars edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live (via Access), Winfrey called the 1986 Oscars "one of the most horrible nights of my life." She had used a dressmaker known for her work with Dolly Parton, "and he had come to [do] something appropriate earlier in the day," after which she took the dress off for some alterations. When she brought it in, Winfrey didn't try it on again.
"So when I went to put it on half an hour before going to the Oscars, it didn't fit," she said. She couldn't get it over her hips, so her hairdresser "had to lay me down on the floor and push my butt down and close." Winfrey had to lie down in the limo that took her to the ceremony and then sit stiff all night at the Oscars. "She was praying that someone else would win," she said Winfrey, "because she knew she couldn't get out of the chair."
