It was a predictably eventful evening in LA this past Sunday at the 96th Academy Awards, hosted at the Dolby Theater.
Among the stand-out moments were John Cena’s naked walk across the stage to present the award for Best Costume Design and Al Pacino’s decision to skip over the nominations for Best Film altogether, instead going straight to announcing the winner.
There were also plenty of talking points to be gleaned from the red carpet, not least relating to the plethora of eye-catching outfits on show. As per reports, actress Kelly Ripa and husband Mark Consuelos were among those to steal the show, with the former causing a particular stir on social media.
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 shаrеd 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.
“Kelly, your hair, the dress… you look gorgeous,” a third said.
Of course, it wasn’t all compliments. There were those who questioned Ripa’s decision to don the dress.
“I love you Kelly but not this dress,” one detractor wrote.
Another added: “Unlikе Mark not to have a perfectly tailored suit or tux on. His clothes are usually impeccable.“
A third wrote: “Kelly wear some bike shorts. You are lowering your self in the see through dress. You’re better than that!“
“She doesn’t even look likе the same person anymore ” a fourth opined.
I don’t know about you, but I think Kelly and Mark looked fantastic at the Oscars! Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
Viral Photos Capture Father’s Hilarious Reaction to Partner Giving Birth
“Who says fathers have it easy during childbirth? Recent viral images of a couple welcoming their third child reveal that fathers can be deeply worried and often astounded by the delivery process.
In the past, fathers were barred from entering the delivery room, left to wait outside and hope for the best for both mother and child. Nowadays, dads are expected to witness the entire delivery, sometimes resulting in amusing reactions, as seen with Amanda Renee and her partner Brett Sillis.
The couple’s delivery room photos have touched many, not only because they welcomed their third baby, but also due to Brett’s priceless facial expressions.
While Brett’s reactions might seem like he is repulsed by the birthing process, Amanda assures he wasn’t. She didn’t notice her husband’s expressions during the overwhelming experience of childbirth. It wasn’t until they reviewed the photos later that they realized how funny Brett’s expressions were.
“We didn’t even look at them until I got back into the room, and I was like, ‘I have to post these,’” Amanda shared.
Now, the happy couple and their baby girl are home, enjoying time together and laughing at Brett’s delivery room expressions.
The photos resonated with many, especially men who related to Brett’s reactions, garnering over 6,000 shares.
“Dawg, this was me,” wrote one father.
“And this is exactly why when my husband wanted to ‘watch,’ I clamped my knees together and told him if he didn’t get up by my head, I wasn’t going to push!” shared one mother.
“Lol! I believe all men make these faces. My spouse could only look at my face after we delivered our baby six weeks ago. My labor lasted 15 minutes, and my doula had to tap him to get him to look at the baby because he was afraid he’d pass out from all the ‘stuff’ coming out. ‘Congratulations, mama!’” commented another.
Congratulations to the happy couple on their new family member!”
