92nd Oscars Red Carpet Fashions 2020

Sunday, 2.9.20

I started my morning with a mall walking meetup at South Coast Plaza. By nine, I noticed it is a small group of thirteen. I think it was before it was raining and cold all morning, even though the rain was only soft light misty rain, and the mall is indoors. I ran into some familiar faces, and we chatting throughout our three-mile walk through mall alleys, three floors, two buildings, and one bridge. By eleven, most people left, and I decided to continue my walk on my own, mostly browsing and window-shopping while meditating on fashion ideas, colors, and my surroundings. By noon, I decided to go home, but I had to stop at Mother’s Market because Gumby was out of canned food. By 12:35, I was home again, watching the Oscars countdown on ABC channel.

Red Carpet Fashions

Gold gowns, big billowy skirts and sleeves, gold jacket for men, velvet gowns, one-shoulder gowns, as well as jewel-toned gowns, understated and classic styles, velvet leopard-print gowns, pant suits, gowns of all colors—from pastels to bold colors. There were also slim-fitted silhouette gowns and color-blocking. Other gowns were flowy, with drapery and a huge decorative bow. White gowns were also popular—Salma Hayek wore a white Gucci gown, Cynthia Erivo wore a white Versace gown, and Renee Zellweger wore a white Armani one-shoulder gown.

While watching my plasma TV screen, I saw a bird’s eye view of the red-carpet area, which was mostly black umbrellas moving around on red background. There were also black vans or jeeps on the red carpet, dropping off or unloading stuff from the back. It was raining in LA at 1:00 pm, with on and off again rain, which is similar to the soft rain in the OC area.

They mentioned the celebrities and parties at Vanity Fair. Bill Porter modeled his sleeveless gold scaly top, orange print billowy gown, and gold platform shoes. He looked like a birds of prey diva.

It was soon noted that the weather was pouring rain in LA. I glanced out my slide door, and noticed it was just cloudy here, although the ground was still wet.

They described the Governor’s Ball as the elegant party, filled with warmth and comfort.
