Timothée Chalamet
Timothée Chalamet scored two Oscar nominations for
A Complete Unknown and
Dune: Part 2, but X users were reminded more of a piece of fruit than the characters he portrays on screen.
"Timothée Chalamet looks like dogs—, what the f— is that? A banana suit?" one user asked.
"Timothée Chalamet chose the yellow suit..? Okay Curious George," another stated, referring to the popular children's book.
Whoopi Goldberg
EGOT winner
Whoopi Goldberg disappointed some fans with her custom Christian Siriano gown, which revealed her rarely-seen shoulder tattoo.
"Whoopi Goldberg [is] wearing a hideous dress," someone tweeted.
"Whoopi Goldberg's dress is available in aisle 32 at Home Depot," another joked.
Mindy Kaling
Mindy Kaling sported a metallic number from Oscar de la Renta's fall 2025 ready-to-wear collection, but the detailing reminded people of a craft store.
"
Mindy Kaling looks like she got a bunch of plastic ferns 20 percent off at JOANN's going out of business sale, hot glued them on a dress and spray-painted it silver," someone penned.
While X accounts debated over who looked the best and worst, some came to the Dartmouth alum's defense.
"
Mindy Kaling's dress is one for the books," a fan shared. "I love a chrome/silver look!"
Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande has been committed to the color pink while promoting
Wicked, as her style became incorporated into the press tour. However, while viewers were "obsessed" with her opening performance, her red carpet ensemble wasn't as jaw-dropping.
"
Ariana Grande's opening performance dress is MUCH better than her red carpet dress," someone posted. "Just saying."
Doja Cat
Doja Cat embraced her inner feline with a leopard print custom Balmain gown. While lovers of the rapper's music have been dubbed "Kittenz," some of her admirers weren't moved by her outfit.
"That might be Doja's worst outfit ever omg who let her out of the house looking like that," one supporter claimed.
Cynthia Erivo
Cynthia Erivo honored Hattie McDaniel, the first Black woman to win an Oscar, in custom Louis Vuitton. Despite its cultural and historical significance, some people didn't get the reference.
"Can we be truthful to ourselves and just call it what it is? Cynthia Erivo looks absolutely ridiculous and borderline terrifying," one observer complained on social media.
Alba Rohrwacher
Alba Rohrwacher wore a tiered multi-layered frock, but the ruffle detailing wasn't the most flattering.
Rachel Zegler
Rachel Zegler posed in a sheer nude Dior garb, but X users noticed that the high fashion piece didn't compliment her figure.
"This corset/neckline is so unflattering, Rachel, who did this to you," an individual claimed.
