Celebrities dominating headlines for their
choice of garment for any particular awards ceremony is nothing new.
Yet in the age of social media, where live photos from
the red carpet can be shared around the world at the click of a button,
it’s become arguably more popular than ever to discuss and debate outfits in real time.
As such, it’s only natural to expect that an event of the magnitude of the Oscars,
and those fortunate enough to be in attendance, is always going to be heavily scrutinized.
Among those who found their fashion choices dissected online this year was Kelly Ripa,
who uploaded her outfit – a dazzling black, see-through gown
– to Instagram along with the caption: “Mom and dad storming the red carpet.”
There, it was met with a wave of appreciation from her legion of fans.
“You both look amazing. BUT that dress is stunning 
,” one person wrote.
“Beautiful gown. Beautiful couple,” another added.
