I genuinely appreciate Hong Chau for her outfit choice. Her name is Hong ( means pink ) Chau (means pearl) and she picked the aodai collar. It’s such a meaningful outfit.
Angela’s purple gown looks reallly good on her. Sometimes purple colors overpower the one wearing it but for her, the color just made her look very glowing.
i surprised myself in choosing Angela Bassett as my Best Dressed. She was lovely. Soft feminine hair & face and the color & design of the dress was fluid and flawless. That purse she carried was to die for!! As a purse collector, it was quite special. ~ The gorgeously sewn yellow dress Kerry Condon wore was splendid!! ~ Michelle Williams rarely appeals to me. I don't like her harsh look; pale pixie hair, pale face & red lips. It doesn't work. yuck girlfriend. Please change it up;, most especially that hard hair style! There was so much long, long beautiful hair and I can't express how much joy that brings me! Thank God long hair has come back in a big way!!! Not a fan of Michelle Yeoh's shapeless white bag of a dress. Her face, hair and spirit are beautiful, just not the shapeless dress. ~ I am so OVER Jessica Rabbit's tired old bombshell uniform & hair. She's like Sophia Vergara who did the same predictable thing in her time. (prob still doing it.) I don't even 'see' her anymore. She's voided herself out. I have a Barbie gown almost just like hers. ~ Gaga is a gem of a human being. Love that Lady. Her talent, personality & humanity are unsurpassed. Loved everything abt her Versasce dress but not the pointy bra. Don't like the pointy bra effect anywhere or on anyone, even Madonna. ~ Rhianna. I'm sorry but the publicity around her is always so OTT & full of fabricated hype far beyond reality. She is paying a Publicity/PR team a fortune to generate that constant stream of hype. They're workin overtime trying to convey her as the greatest singer, style maven & mother of all & she just ain't all that. Made some huge hits but not the level of star her Publicity pushes. The general public are unaware of the mechanism behind celebrity fame and how much is force fed to us. Ever since Demi Moore bared her naked huge pregnant belly ages ago, women have been flaunting their pregnancies and I don't like it. An expectant mama is walking magic. Putting it out there is tasteless. ~ Florence Pugh turned me off when she walked onto the stage, right arm locked, finger holding dress open to show off her thigh even while announcing. I watched transfixed, seeing if she was going to let the darned dress go to greet the winner. Too blatantly OBVIOUS. Trying too hard. I didn't mind the voluminous confection of a dress. It was very pretty, as is she; although uninspired re: bland drab dress color. Somebody needs to tell Florence & all women; the allure is to leave people expectantly hoping & waiting for an accidental glimpse of something. Again, we look back to that time Angelina Jolie made a to-do in her black dress emeralds moment, strategically staging her thigh. Just let your reveal happen accidentally & naturally!! Ladies when will you learn? The beauty & sexiness is in what's hidden, NOT what you work so hard to FLAUNT. I'm even more than over the deep, wide chest cleavage. Those fake boob silicone containers are not even attractive anymore. 😉
i was genuinely impressed at the fabric of hong chau’s prada gown. so many people walking onto carpets these days with wrinkled fabrics but she looks like a pale pink pillar of perfection. just the cherry on top of her stunning performance in “the whale”
I absolutely agree. One of my favourite looks of the night. The only thing I’d say is that it could have been accessorised better - in my opinion. But it was so beautiful
I think Michelle’s dress would have stood out on a contrast color background and rug. The color they chose is just so horribly neutral. It washes out the fair skinned. It makes light dresses with detail fade into the background
I would like someone edit the carpet in the looks, to see how they were going to look originally (aparently the color change was a last moment thing and a lot of stylists didn't know)
@@bnes9371 My qujibble with red is that there are many gowns in red and there's often a clash. I would love to know what colour Luke would suggest for the carpet.
I'm sure someone must have done this and I just need to find it, but I need to see these with a red carpet. All the whites are doing absolutely nothing for me. It's also washing a lot of people out. I also didn't love Janelle Monet's dress, but I was happy to see some color.
COngratulations to Sandra Oh for showing other celebrities how to wear an exciting and more rarely-seen colour on the awards carpet. Marigold orange is gorgeous and visible. No hiding behind black or white.
I love how informed Luke is regarding fashion history, both ancient and modern, and how he weaves it into his critiques. Encyclopedic and engaging, rather than heavy-handed. We learn stuff watching you, Luke!
Luke, you are the Original Fashion Gangsta for getting this up SO FAST. You are an absolute legend for getting this to us so quickly. I'd give you an Oscar, but all I have is that fuzzy green muppet in the garbage can. I love you to bits!!!! (Carla Delavigne is the only one worth mentioning. Ke Huy and Brendan winning were my emotional centers, to hell with the tuxes lol.)
Can you do a part two? There were so many other looks I'd love to hear your take on! Cara Delevigne (loved her red dress!), Margot Robbie, Mindy Kaling, Michael B Jordan, Pedro Pascal (interested to hear your take on his tailoring), Paul Mescal, Ludwig Göransson, Deepika Padukone. Or maybe even a Vanity Fair party looks video?
It looks like high school students built it and weren’t any where near finished. The small molding on the bottom was cheap looking. I bet heads are rolling in the red carpet department designers!
I really wish that you had highlighted Malala Yousafzai! While you may have said her look was “blah” it contained a lot of symbolism for Pashtun women (who are constantly forgotten about!!) The dress and jewelry she wore were inspired by a look worn by Princess Abedah Bibi of Afghanistan in the 1950s. Malala wore Princess Abedah’s actual earrings that the princess inherited from her mother Queen Soraya Tarzi. Queen Soraya was a staunch advocate for women’s rights. She was extremely progressive for her time and worked to obtain women’s right to vote and run for office. She was also Afghanistan’s minister of education and founded the first girls school in Afghanistan in 1921. She also founded the first women’s hospital in 1926 and worked to give women access to higher education abroad. Malala and Queen Soraya have many similarities and the fact that Malala chose to honor great Pashtun women on such a big stage is amazing. Yet she is still constantly being dismissed. Pashtun women in general are constantly forgotten.
The yellow of Kerry Condon’s dress may be nod to both her costume in The Banshees of Inisherin and something for which Ireland is well-known around the world: their butter. The coat that Kerry’s character wears as she leaves the island of Inisherin is bright yellow, symbolizing her happiness at leaving. The film, thanks to it gaining popularity with an international audience, is bringing knowledge of Irish history to the forefront, where many smaller elements of its culture have been for a while now. While the most well known elements of Irish culture - especially their cuisine - are their lovely alcohols, another well known element of its culinary culture is its delicious and vibrantly yellow butter.
Loved it but the assymetrical straps really bothered me! I was keen to hear Luke’s thoughts on that but the photo he looked at, her hair was draped over it.
🙌 Cate Blanchett 🙌 all the way!!!!!! She is always so dignified, yet playful, mischievous, exciting, but so elegant and harmonious. Her/ her stylist fashion choices are great
I love Rihanna, she is so completely not apologetic about her pregnant bodie (about her bodie in general). It helps to take away so much pressure off of pregnant women and shape.
idk what happened to florence pugh’s fashion this year. the stunning orange harris reed moment had my hopes up but another let down from one of the most talented actresses of her generation.
@@MrLadyMaroles yup exactly. that minidress+billowing train combo was done in venice (and not terribly fantastically tbh) and i’m not interested in seeing the same thing over and over. florence is the quirky type who i expect the avant garde moments from but no i guess not
I think the black underskirt would've killed as a bejeweled panty. The skirt reminded me of the biker shorts I'd wear under my sports uniforms. Also I do not like the shoe.
Yes, how he reflected Michelle's costume from the launderette scene was very smart and the two of them really gave some wonderful speeches after so many wins.
Hey Luc, I hope you can read this comment. A little interesting thing that I noticed about Hong Chau's dress is that it represents her name as well. Hong Chau means pink pearl in Vietnamese. The fact that she chose to wear a pink dress with pearl earrings is amazing. *chef kiss*
Glad I’m not the only one who couldn’t stand the boning on the Jamie Lee Curtis dress. It just didn’t make any sense to me. I had to remind myself to focus on how special this moment was for her, and how stunning she looks irregardless
I also wasn't floored by Michelle Yeoh's look, but I have to say that her face last night was the prettiest I've ever seen it look. Almost ingenue. I've always thought she was beautiful, but she was spectacular looking on Sunday. The dress made me wonder if she felt she might not win (not a stretch--no Asian had ever won before), and didn't want to overshadow the ultimate winner. In addition, the youthfulness the look gave her face might keep her in the minds of producers who don't always have numerous roles for women over 35. I'm probably overthinking this... Another less kind thought is that her looks have been slightly trending downhill since the memorable, perfectly tailored yellow blazer and scrumptious poofy floral skirt ensemble that started the season. It's got to be impossible to keep up that trend. Overall I agree: sadly, no real memorable looks yesterday. But it was a great night. Maybe I'm just getting old and sentimental, but I can't think of another year where I wanted multiple winners for each category.
He missed the BACKSIDE of Gaga dress, Now that was the unexpected part. Makes me think he did NOT watch the beige carpet/ show, or he surely would have pointed out the butt view * edit He didn't even know N Kidmans dress had one long sleeve
I loved harry shum jr and Hong chau's outfits. It's awesome to incorporate one's heritage within the context of a western atmosphere. And they did it in a such a way that it worked and didn't feel out of place
I feel like you need to do a Part 2! Fan BingBing's dress was my favourite of the night. Also hats off to Cara Delevingne and Monica Barbaro. And seeing Tems white poof in the background of the ceremony, blocking the view of who was behind her was friggin HILARIOUS! XD
Angela Bassett 's purple gown and Stephanie Hsu's look are my favs among these . Also Cate Blanchett's , Rihanna's and Lady Gaga's looks are stunning. Personally , I would wear something close to Sandra Oh's dress :)
I loved the ultraviolet of Angela's gown, and Cate really served!! 💙💜 What baffles me is why anyone thought it was ok to even let that dress happen on JLC? A person who had a role in a film that has a predominantly asian cast, and you're going to put her in D&G. 🙄
Ana de armas gown reminded me a lot of the famous marylin dress that Kim wore to the met. The fabric and placement of the stones were near identical. Looks like she wanted a revamped, different color version of that dress.
Truly agree with your Hong Chau critique … my favorite as well. And a subliminal deconstructed pink triangle in the back, giving me a nod to silence =death posters of the late 1980s. Maybe just a trigger in my mind, but shows how wonderful fashion is, a true art form to allow a mind to drift with such a minimalist ( at quick glance) piece of art.
Seriously! I was checking all day for this and had to remind myself to be patient because Luke puts so much research and thought into these, and that takes time!
I think Hong Chau was my favourite. Simple but beautifully executed. Personally I think this was one of the worst Oscar’s for fashion… You should definitely review the Vanity Fair party because there is more to look at
Im so proud of myself for slowly nailing down how I think you’re going to feel about the looks. Also, I think Rooney/her team did an impeccable job of finding a unique and meaningful dress that she could also comfortable wear for the hours and hours long ceremony
Hi Luke you probably picked the most conspicuous celebrities or your favorite looks however would have loved to see some of the looks you didn't include like Deepika, Malala, Cara Delevigne, Elizabeth Olsen and so many more 😊 hope there is a part 2 or even 3 coming 😇😇
Good critique, mostly aligned w/ mine and my daughter's opinions. Only thing you didn't cover was what we thought was a truly ghastly mistaken dress on Ruth, the costume designer who won the Oscar for best costumes in Wakanda Forever. I didn't mind the gold color, or the fabric, or the hot pink lining and platform sandals, BUT, the part that covered her chest looked badly stitched and, like, puckery, like they just couldn't quite get it right, and that was a shame. I saw what she was going for in my head, but when that seam started getting jiggy, she should've had a Plan B, because the gold/pink didn't work out that well. And she is the winner of the Oscar for best costumes! Which with I agreed, the costumes in that movie were FAB. Her dress, not so much.
I always look forward to your videos because I end up seeing fashion in a different way. At first I didn’t get Hong Chau’s dress but I knew you would explain it beautifully and you did!
I love that you’re know design history so well. When I was in high school I would get designer patterns so I could see how they did what they did. Thank you for your input!
YAY for making a video on the Vanity Fair after party as there were some amazing looks. As for this video, some of my favourites of the night were missing. Looks I liked - Angela Bassett (just gorgeous), Michelle Yeoh, Sandra Oh (stunning, on point, a queen), Greg Tarzan Davis, Shohreh Aghdashloo (both stunning and meaningful), Sarah Polley, Ram Charan, Marlee Matlin, Deepika Padukone, Harvey Guillen (a thing of beauty), Barry Keoghan (except for the shoes), Halle Berry (the whole look was a thing of beauty from head to toe), Nicole Kidman, Emily Blunt (perfection), Jessica Chastain, Sofia Carson (a princess dream), Ava DuVernay, Stephanie Hsu, Daniel Kwan, Michael B. Jordan (sometimes a little can go a long way), Vanessa Hudgens, Paul Mescal, Ruth E. Carter, Malala Yousafzai, Michelle Williams, Fan BingBing (glamorous), Cara Delevingne (the whole look was just *chef's kiss*). Also, are hairdressers in LA on strike? As many of the ladies looked like they just put on the dress and run out of home. And it's a theme this red carpet season. Ana de Armas being the first that comes to mind. Sometimes the hair-down look works - like on Jessica Chastain, other times it just looks lazy.
Couldn't have clicked any quicker to see your take on the looks!! And .......Love love love the effort on the Vietnamese dress pronunciation. But it actually sounds like "Ao Yai". The D sounds like a Y. :)
i loved it except for the high slit - i think if the slit had even just started lower it could've been perfect but the high slit really took me out of it
@@crisscross7758 I loved the stained glass look! That’s exactly what I thought of! I wish she had worn that to the ceremony. It’s my favourite that’s she’s worn.
On the Michelle Yeoh look; I watched a recent interview about a week ago where she talked about how her mom had opinions about her clothing. From the video of her mother watching the ceremony in Malaysia, I thought how similar their two outfits looked (white, feathers, ethereal looking). I’d like to think that was something she thought about with the selection of her dress, especially after she dedicated the award to her mother. For that, I really like the look 🥲💖🥯
hi luke!!! been a fan for ages but i wanted to let you know that i love the care and attention you gave to hong chau’s dress and heritage!!!! it means a lot how in-depth you went with the analysis and dived into prada’s history w the ao dai. i learned so much and i love that you brought attention to the vietnamese culture on your channel! (side note: you pronounced it nearly perfectly! the d in dai makes a yuh sound so it would be pronounced ao yai)
"Bated breath"-- Using a shortened form of abated, which means "stopped or reduced," the phrase refers to people holding their breath in excitement or fear as they wait to see what happens next.
i'm getting so sick of the "translucent gown with modcloth high waisted swimsuit underneath" look i feel like i've been seeing this since like 2014, everyone still thinks it's so fresh and it hasn't changed at all
Fantastic that you put this up so fast. Are you planning a part two? I was transfixed by the position of the red pole behind Harry Shum Jr. Cate Blanchett is our Aussie Queen.
First of all - Wow super impressed how fast you put up this video! 👏thx for that! I really love learning about the history of all the fashion and I’m always excited to see if I agree with you on whether or not a look is standing out. One minor critic I have for this one is the Rooney Mara - Alexander McQueen look. While I again loved to hear about the story around this dress, I feel this looks very unflattering on her, gives her an almost constraint posture, „pulls her down“ and compared to the Model wearing it, for me it doesn’t sit right, it should be higher up on the shoulders and the bust, of course that horrible champagne carpet does not help to make this one pop either. I also missed Angela Basset in your BEST list - she was Royalty in that ultraviolet dress 💜
Would’ve liked to hear your views on the red stunner from Cara Delevigne; I thought it one of the most dramatic, best fitting and best looking dresses…
I love that you mentioned that Sandra Oh understood how to wear the dress which is something I believe Rooney Mara could have used to look even better. Hong Chau was also my favorite.
30:20 am so glad you liked the white ethereal gown of Michelle Williams, I so love it ! I think your fashion opinions come closest to truth, if feelings about clothes could ever be factual :)
Michelle Williams over-cape thingie is absolutely stunning. I could just picture a bride wearing that. My favorite look, so beautiful! Thanks for the review Luke 😘
I genuinely appreciate Hong Chau for her outfit choice. Her name is Hong ( means pink ) Chau (means pearl) and she picked the aodai collar. It’s such a meaningful outfit.
That is absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing that🥰
That's really interesting! Thanks for sharing 💕
Wow thanks for that. Beautiful and good to know!
Angela’s purple gown looks reallly good on her. Sometimes purple colors overpower the one wearing it but for her, the color just made her look very glowing.
Angela Bassett is such a beautiful woman, she could wear nearly anything! But i really enjoyed the purple dress!
Agreed. She should have made Luke’s best dressed.
Only if we had it in a different fabric

When I heard about the Oscars I had this same thought...
Can we talk about the ugly carpet?
Ughhh I know. It looks like they rented a local hall. It feels more like a ‘DIY oscars red carpet’ themed party lol
Omg i knew there was something off with these pictures
So ugly and it's not even champagne, that's beige and I bet it got dirty in like 0.5 seconds.
Bring back the red
It looks like high school students built it and weren’t any where near finished. The small molding on the bottom was cheap looking. I bet heads are rolling in the red carpet department designers!

I also wasn't floored by Michelle Yeoh's look, but I have to say that her face last night was the prettiest I've ever seen it look. Almost ingenue. I've always thought she was beautiful, but she was spectacular looking on Sunday. The dress made me wonder if she felt she might not win (not a stretch--no Asian had ever won before), and didn't want to overshadow the ultimate winner. In addition, the youthfulness the look gave her face might keep her in the minds of producers who don't always have numerous roles for women over 35. I'm probably overthinking this...
Another less kind thought is that her looks have been slightly trending downhill since the memorable, perfectly tailored yellow blazer and scrumptious poofy floral skirt ensemble that started the season. It's got to be impossible to keep up that trend.
Overall I agree: sadly, no real memorable looks yesterday. But it was a great night. Maybe I'm just getting old and sentimental, but I can't think of another year where I wanted multiple winners for each category.
She needed a brighter color for her gorgeous coloring
Lady Gaga looked stunning ✨✨✨ love that she always takes risks and does the unexpected!!
Yes she did
Her hair and makeup were giving Robert Palmer Addicted to Love girl era vibes. An all around slay.
She was fantastic
He missed the BACKSIDE of Gaga dress,
Now that was the unexpected part.
Makes me think he did NOT watch the beige carpet/ show, or he surely would have pointed out the butt view
* edit
He didn't even know N Kidmans dress had one long sleeve
Her waist!!! Wow wow wow
Jennifer Connelly’s look is so under appreciated😭😭😭
I wish her make up and hair were different though - she looks so severe
I loved harry shum jr and Hong chau's outfits. It's awesome to incorporate one's heritage within the context of a western atmosphere. And they did it in a such a way that it worked and didn't feel out of place
I feel like you need to do a Part 2!
Fan BingBing's dress was my favourite of the night. Also hats off to Cara Delevingne and Monica Barbaro.
And seeing Tems white poof in the background of the ceremony, blocking the view of who was behind her was friggin HILARIOUS! XD
And deepika and Megan thee stallion!!
Angela Bassett 's purple gown and Stephanie Hsu's look are my favs among these . Also Cate Blanchett's , Rihanna's and Lady Gaga's looks are stunning.
Personally , I would wear something close to Sandra Oh's dress :)
I loved the ultraviolet of Angela's gown, and Cate really served!! 💙💜 What baffles me is why anyone thought it was ok to even let that dress happen on JLC? A person who had a role in a film that has a predominantly asian cast, and you're going to put her in D&G. 🙄
I cant believe you didn't talk about the BACK of Lady Gaga's dress!
Was just about to comment this too!
Same. Only reason I clicked on this video
Yes, the back of her gown was amazing! I was waiting for him to say something about it too.
@@venanciahopkins5035 Is it backless?
@@pollycipher Very low cut in the back.
One more thing about Hong Chau is that Hong in Vietnamese means pink/rose. So I imagine the pink dress is also a reference to her name. :)
Ana de armas gown reminded me a lot of the famous marylin dress that Kim wore to the met. The fabric and placement of the stones were near identical. Looks like she wanted a revamped, different color version of that dress.
Truly agree with your Hong Chau critique … my favorite as well. And a subliminal deconstructed pink triangle in the back, giving me a nod to silence =death posters of the late 1980s. Maybe just a trigger in my mind, but shows how wonderful fashion is, a true art form to allow a mind to drift with such a minimalist ( at quick glance) piece of art.
I appreciate your hard work! A quick turnaround! 👏🏾💯
Seriously! I was checking all day for this and had to remind myself to be patient because Luke puts so much research and thought into these, and that takes time!
I think Hong Chau was my favourite. Simple but beautifully executed.
Personally I think this was one of the worst Oscar’s for fashion…
You should definitely review the Vanity Fair party because there is more to look at
Im so proud of myself for slowly nailing down how I think you’re going to feel about the looks. Also, I think Rooney/her team did an impeccable job of finding a unique and meaningful dress that she could also comfortable wear for the hours and hours long ceremony
My favorite looks were Angela Bassett and Salma Hayek. The fiery orange sequined dress looked fantastic on her.
Hi Luke you probably picked the most conspicuous celebrities or your favorite looks however would have loved to see some of the looks you didn't include like Deepika, Malala, Cara Delevigne, Elizabeth Olsen and so many more 😊 hope there is a part 2 or even 3 coming 😇😇
Omg so happy you loved cates look!! I also thought it was fricking FABULOUS!! So fun unique and iconic
Good critique, mostly aligned w/ mine and my daughter's opinions. Only thing you didn't cover was what we thought was a truly ghastly mistaken dress on Ruth, the costume designer who won the Oscar for best costumes in Wakanda Forever. I didn't mind the gold color, or the fabric, or the hot pink lining and platform sandals, BUT, the part that covered her chest looked badly stitched and, like, puckery, like they just couldn't quite get it right, and that was a shame. I saw what she was going for in my head, but when that seam started getting jiggy, she should've had a Plan B, because the gold/pink didn't work out that well. And she is the winner of the Oscar for best costumes! Which with I agreed, the costumes in that movie were FAB. Her dress, not so much.
I always look forward to your videos because I end up seeing fashion in a different way. At first I didn’t get Hong Chau’s dress but I knew you would explain it beautifully and you did!
I love that you’re know design history so well. When I was in high school I would get designer patterns so I could see how they did what they did. Thank you for your input!
You are in the know, I don’t get the autocorrect.
YAY for making a video on the Vanity Fair after party as there were some amazing looks.
As for this video, some of my favourites of the night were missing.
Looks I liked - Angela Bassett (just gorgeous), Michelle Yeoh, Sandra Oh (stunning, on point, a queen), Greg Tarzan Davis, Shohreh Aghdashloo (both stunning and meaningful), Sarah Polley, Ram Charan, Marlee Matlin, Deepika Padukone, Harvey Guillen (a thing of beauty), Barry Keoghan (except for the shoes), Halle Berry (the whole look was a thing of beauty from head to toe), Nicole Kidman, Emily Blunt (perfection), Jessica Chastain, Sofia Carson (a princess dream), Ava DuVernay, Stephanie Hsu, Daniel Kwan, Michael B. Jordan (sometimes a little can go a long way), Vanessa Hudgens, Paul Mescal, Ruth E. Carter, Malala Yousafzai, Michelle Williams, Fan BingBing (glamorous), Cara Delevingne (the whole look was just *chef's kiss*).
Also, are hairdressers in LA on strike? As many of the ladies looked like they just put on the dress and run out of home. And it's a theme this red carpet season. Ana de Armas being the first that comes to mind. Sometimes the hair-down look works - like on Jessica Chastain, other times it just looks lazy.
Thank you Luke for another great fashion roast! Your videos are always enjoyable and I love the informative aspect you add to them.💖🌟🎀
i feel like harry shum jr.'s fit was also inspired by his chef role in everything everywhere all at once . iykyk . 🤣 🤣 🤣
Angela and Sandra rocked those dresses. They look stunning 🔥
Boy missed out my high fashion muse Cara Delevigne!!!
Angela Bassett looked gorgeous, I loved the purple.
Celebrities. Stop supporting D&G. Stop it.
What did D&G do?

@@caitlingill Luke did a video. But in short, racism, homophobia and body shaking young celebrities
Everything was a snooze fest. Do you do any reviews of the Vanity Fair party outfits?
He commented elsewhere he's doing that too!
@@caitlingill Yay! Can’t wait to watch that video.
"The movietaught me about empathy and I have empathy" is cracking me up. Great video!
That was really a beautiful little quote from Azzadine, and what you said about pregnancy touched me, Luke. Thank you.
Couldn't have clicked any quicker to see your take on the looks!! And .......Love love love the effort on the Vietnamese dress pronunciation. But it actually sounds like "Ao Yai". The D sounds like a Y. :)
disappointed at no TEMS in this roast! her view blocking headpiece was truly a campy showstopper
and no Cara Delevigne!!! She actually looked stunning
@@queenb2450 omg yes how could i forget cara in her beautiful elie saab?!
@@queenb2450 I LOVED her look
cara and tems ateee
I liked Ana’s after party dress! Do the after party!!
i loved it except for the high slit - i think if the slit had even just started lower it could've been perfect but the high slit really took me out of it
I liked it too. It looks like Art Nouveau stained glass. She looks so much better. The silver oscar dress completely washes her out.
@@crisscross7758 I loved the stained glass look! That’s exactly what I thought of! I wish she had worn that to the ceremony. It’s my favourite that’s she’s worn.
Yes I way preferred it to her ceremony dress.
@@allisonheath1156 Me too!!
Sandra Oh’s dress was one of my favourites of the night. She looks so good in that shade of orange
This morning when i realised the oscars was last night i was excited because it meant this video was coming soon.
Loved: Shark took a little nibble. You rock!
On the Michelle Yeoh look; I watched a recent interview about a week ago where she talked about how her mom had opinions about her clothing. From the video of her mother watching the ceremony in Malaysia, I thought how similar their two outfits looked (white, feathers, ethereal looking). I’d like to think that was something she thought about with the selection of her dress, especially after she dedicated the award to her mother. For that, I really like the look 🥲💖🥯
Austin’s suit fits so well, no one wears pants cut as well as his & don’t forget his burgundy suit at an other ceremony!
You Killed With The Prada Master Class
yes! totally turned around on hong chau’s train after watching luke’s explanation
I had a really bad day and all I wanted to do when I got home was watch this video. Thanks, Luke!
If you're nominated I think you need to keep things classic
Just in case you win. Because those pics are forever.
I love Sandra Oh's and Angela Bassett's gowns - gorgeous, vibrant colours, absolutely stunning
Angel basset my favorite oscar look
I love that incorporate fashion history, I am learning so much. I enjoy your reviews.
I’d love to see you review Fran Fine’s outfits from the Nanny. I always loved her style though I’m not sure if you would lol
hi luke!!! been a fan for ages but i wanted to let you know that i love the care and attention you gave to hong chau’s dress and heritage!!!! it means a lot how in-depth you went with the analysis and dived into prada’s history w the ao dai. i learned so much and i love that you brought attention to the vietnamese culture on your channel! (side note: you pronounced it nearly perfectly! the d in dai makes a yuh sound so it would be pronounced ao yai)
Been waiting for this with baited breath!
"Bated breath"-- Using a shortened form of abated, which means "stopped or reduced," the phrase refers to people holding their breath in excitement or fear as they wait to see what happens next.
hot damn the fabric of that blue top is amazing, someone please keep using that!
i'm getting so sick of the "translucent gown with modcloth high waisted swimsuit underneath" look i feel like i've been seeing this since like 2014, everyone still thinks it's so fresh and it hasn't changed at all
Ive seen a view other reviews online, but kept telling myself, wait for Luke's take on this, and it was worth the wait.
I know I maybe biased. But I'm bummed you missed Deepika Padukone and the RRR cast... Would have loved your take on Indian menswear
Yes! Would have loved to see his take on those! Also, he missed Cara Delevigne, whose entire look was drop dead gorgeous!
I might also be biased but NTR Jr's Outfit was just amazing!
Clicked so fast!
😂
YESSSSSS! Me too 😅😅😅
Cara deserved her moment in the video tbh, she was best dressed of the night hands down
Love your review on the Sandra Oh orange dress!! I also thought it was underrated, looked stunning on her
Girl, STOP! The dresses were GORGEOUS! Gorgeous.i agree about Ana de Armas and Jamie Lee.
It's a ROAST he ended up liking a lot of looks
That beautiful yellow gown is my shade of yellow...love it!
I wish you had discussed the back of Gaga's dress. Lovely!
Janelle with the orange dress + cropped top looks great, bright, flattering
i wasn’t the happiest about jamie lee curtis winning best supporting actress, but to find out that she also wore dolce and gabbana?
My favorite for sure was Kate Blanchett!!! Love the colors!
And now we eagerly await the Oscar after parties edition...
Fantastic that you put this up so fast. Are you planning a part two?
I was transfixed by the position of the red pole behind Harry Shum Jr.
Cate Blanchett is our Aussie Queen.
I feel like the looks from the VF after party were so much better
When I first Harry Shum jr. look I was hoping to hear your opinion . Was definitely something different to see from the men side of fashion
First of all - Wow super impressed how fast you put up this video! 👏thx for that! I really love learning about the history of all the fashion and I’m always excited to see if I agree with you on whether or not a look is standing out. One minor critic I have for this one is the Rooney Mara - Alexander McQueen look. While I again loved to hear about the story around this dress, I feel this looks very unflattering on her, gives her an almost constraint posture, „pulls her down“ and compared to the Model wearing it, for me it doesn’t sit right, it should be higher up on the shoulders and the bust, of course that horrible champagne carpet does not help to make this one pop either. I also missed Angela Basset in your BEST list - she was Royalty in that ultraviolet dress 💜
d&g do not make dreams come true! this kind of commentary is why i watch you
Would’ve liked to hear your views on the red stunner from Cara Delevigne; I thought it one of the most dramatic, best fitting and best looking dresses…
I love that you mentioned that Sandra Oh understood how to wear the dress which is something I believe Rooney Mara could have used to look even better. Hong Chau was also my favorite.
30:20 am so glad you liked the white ethereal gown of Michelle Williams, I so love it ! I think your fashion opinions come closest to truth, if feelings about clothes could ever be factual :)
Michelle Williams over-cape thingie is absolutely stunning. I could just picture a bride wearing that. My favorite look, so beautiful! Thanks for the review Luke 😘
who the hell chose such a bland carpet & background color? it really ruined a lot of these dresses.
Michelle Wiliams was perfection !!!
