When it comes to awards ceremonies, the spotlight often extends far beyond the trophies and speeches, shining brightly on the red carpet and the fashion choices of those attending.

In the age of social media, these moments are amplified, sparking real-time discussions and debates over who wore what.

This year’s Oscars proved no exception, with countless celebrities making bold fashion statements.

Among them was Kelly Ripa, who turned heads with her daring ensemble—a stunning black, see-through gown.

Sharing her look on Instagram with the caption, “Mom and dad storming the red carpet,” Ripa invited her fans into the glamor of the event.

The post quickly garnered widespread attention. Many fans were effusive in their praise, flooding the comment section with admiration for Ripa’s daring and dazzling choice.

“I love you Kelly but not this dress,” one commenter wrote. Another critique extended to her husband, Mark Consuelos, with a user remarking, “Unlike Mark not to have a perfectly tailored suit or tux on. His clothes are usually impeccable.”

The gown’s see-through design was a particular point of contention for some. “Kelly, wear some bike shorts. You are lowering yourself in the see-through dress.

You’re better than that!” another user wrote. Meanwhile, a fourth critic added, “She doesn’t even look like the same person anymore ?‍

Despite the differing opinions, one thing remains clear: Kelly Ripa’s red carpet appearance didn’t go unnoticed. Her outfit choice, much like the Oscars themselves, became a conversation starter, showcasing how fashion at such events continues to captivate and divide audiences worldwide.

Whether lauded or critiqued, Ripa’s look ensured she was a central figure in this year’s Oscars fashion dialogue.

“You both look amazing. BUT that dress is stunning ,” one fan enthused. Another chimed in, “Beautiful gown. Beautiful couple.”
