Amanda Seyfried wore red to the Oscars because it was a âgreat contrastâ to âMankâ being in black and white.
The 35-year-old star â who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her work on the film â attended Sundayâs (25.04.21) Academy Awards at Los Angelesâ Union Station in a vibrant Armani gown, which was inspired by the old Hollywood depicted in the movie and she was overjoyed with the bold strapless outfit.
She said: âThe red is rich and is a great contrast to Mankâs black and white.
âThe style looks as though it could float away.â
Designer Giorgio Armani also took inspiration from the actress herself.
The most ambitious award show held during the pandemic, the Oscars rolled out a red carpet and tried to restored some glamour to a grim year. For the first time ever, this year s nominees were overwhelmingly seen in the home during a pandemic year that forced theaters to close and prompted radical change in Hollywood.
More women and more actors of color were nominated than ever before, and Sunday brought a litany of records and firsts across many categories, spanning everything from hairstyling to composing to acting. It was, some observers said, a sea change for an awards harshly criticized as “OscarsSoWhite” in recent years, leading the film academy to greatly expand membership.
Nomadland was the big winner at Sunday s (25.04.21) Academy Awards, taking home three prizes.
The Great Recession drama scooped the night s biggest award, Best Picture, ahead of The Father , Judas and the Black Messiah , Mank , Minari , Promising Young Woman , Sound of Metal , and The Trial of the Chicago 7 , while there were also wins in the Best Actress in a Leading Role category for Frances McDormand - who plays a woman who leaves home to travel around the American West - and Best Director for Chloe Zhao.
Their wins broke records, with Frances third Best Actress win following previous successes in 2018 and 1997 putting her just one award behind only Katherine Hepburn, who has four acting Oscars, while Chloe became the first woman of colour and only the second female to take the prize for directing.

The red carpet is back. After the coronavirus pandemic forced awards shows to be canceled or go virtual over the past year, movie stars and Hollywood A-listers returned Sunday to strut their stuff, live and in person, on perhaps the most iconic red carpet of all: at the Oscars.
It was a smaller-than-usual affair with fewer celebrities and cameras and strict COVID-19 protocols in place. But there was no less glamour to grace the carpet set up at Los Angeles’ Union Station, where the 93rd annual Academy Awards will take place this year.
Wearing a double-breasted black tuxedo, actor Paul Raci, 73, was among the first to step in front of the microphones on the carpet.
