Oscars 2024: An evening of glitz, glamor, and viral moments

This past Sunday in Los Angeles, the luminaries assembled at the venerable Dolby Theater for the 96th Academy Awards made for an evening to remember. As usual, the evening was full with unforgettable events, surprising revelations, and—of course—much of fashion buzz from the red carpet.

Among the outstanding performers this year were TV anchor Kelly Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos. Though the pair created waves with their synchronized look, Kelly’s bold black, see-through gown really took centre stage. After Ripa posted a picture of her outfit on Instagram with the description “Mom and dad storming the red carpet,” the gorgeous yet provocative garment ignited discussions online right away.

Kelly’s message went viral right away, and her devoted readers left a deluge of comments. Many were quick to extol the celebrity for her audacious decision and the couple’s ageless charm.

You two look really great. But that outfit is gorgeous ❤❤, one admirer said.

“Beautiful gown. Beautiful pair, another added in.

“Kelly, your hair, the dress… you look gorgeous,” said a third added, stressing the perfect mix of her clothes and look.
