Emma Stone's 'Wait, Is That a Shopping Bag?' Moment
Emma Stone switched up her hair game to a fresh bob and told everyone to just chop their hair if they’re thinking about it. Bold move! But her outfit? Well, it looked like she bought the skirt, then grabbed the nearest shopping bag to wear as a top. Casual or just... confused? People were divided, but let’s just say the pastel color didn’t save the day here.
Ariana Grande's Birthday Cake Dress?
Ariana ditched her usual pink and rolled up in a black Vivienne Westwood gown with a big velvet bow. Sounds fancy, right? Nah, some said she looked like a birthday cake or a kid who snuck into mom's closet. You could almost hear her saying, "I hate this dress," via vibes alone.
Miley Cyrus' 'Cruella' Couture Confusion
Miley’s new sparkle (aka engagement ring) was the star of the show, but the rest of the look? Let’s just say 'Cruella vibes' were in full effect. Big sunglasses and a black sequined gown made some folks wonder if Miley lost a bet or her sense of style.
Jenna Ortega’s Halloween Costume All Year Round
Jenna went super dark and kinda spooky in an outfit that screamed ‘Wednesday Addams meets did-someone-forget-to-tell-me?’ Fans were wondering if that face was thanks to some cheek-sucking wizardry. The verdict: guesses flew, but the vibe was definitely in the 'creepy chic’ zone.
Jennifer Lawrence's 'Did She Forget Clothes?' Look
Jennifer Lawrence rolled in looking like she grabbed a giant floral curtain, added some strategic holes, and called it a gown. Some fans applauded the risky move, others just yelled ‘noooo!’ Let’s just say, the word ‘desperate’ came up a lot.
Parker Posey’s Mysterious Look
Aimee Lou Wood’s 'I Can’t Sit in This' Gown
Aimee Lou Wood rocked a giant black Vivienne Westwood ballgown that looked like it could double as a tent. Fans were all like, 'She’s smiling because standing up is the easy part!' and ‘Someone help the poor girl.’
Charli XCX’s 'Why So Serious?' Stare
Charli rocked a black-and-white Saint Laurent gown that screams classic actress vibes. Too bad her face screamed ‘I forgot to smile.’ Some folks thought she looked ready to sweep floors rather than sweep awards. And the hair? Well, you get the idea.
Ayanat Ksenbai’s Quiet Entrance
Bella Ramsey Wrapped Like a Fancy Present

Audrey Nuna’s Subtle Red Carpet Moment
Pamela Anderson’s Bed Sheet Look
Pamela brought a fresh ‘no makeup’ vibe but paired it with an all-white Oscar de la Renta outfit that had many guessing if she was rocking a fancy bathrobe or a high-fashion maxi skirt combo. She’s thinking about changing her last name, but it seems her fashion sense needs a new moniker, too.

Snoop Dogg’s Shiny Red Stripes
Snoop Dogg rolled in wearing a black satin suit, shiny shoes included. The red stripes on his blazer screamed ‘MAGA vibes’ louder than fans expected. Comments ranged from ‘He looks like he’s 83’ to ‘Can he just act his age already?’ Spoiler: the internet wasn’t buying the shiny red flex.

Jon M. Chu kept it basic with a cream blazer and brown trousers but decided to rock not one, but two massive pins of his stars from the ‘Wicked’ cast right on his chest. Internet loved to call it 'creepy' and ‘like he owns them.’ Note to self: maybe keep pins to a minimum next time.
Owen Cooper’s Walk and Talk
Amelia Gray’s Quiet Carpet Moves
Zoe Kravitz’s Pajama Party Vibes
Zoe rocked a lingerie-style slip dress that had everyone wondering if she just rolled out of bed or showed up in fancy sleepwear. Comments ranged from 'Ready for bed already?' to 'Is that 1920s nightgown realness?' Pretty sure she gave the 'less is more' look, but mostly 'less.'

Timothy Simons Keeping It Classic
Amy Poehler’s Jumpsuit Jumble
Amy Poehler grabbed the Best Podcast award, but her black-and-white jumpsuit didn’t grab any fashion trophies.
