At 53, Kelly Ripa’s black gown on Oscars red carpet ignites reactions from fans

The 96th Academy Awards, held at the Dolby Theater in LA last Sunday, provided a lively evening as anticipated.

Notable moments included John Cena’s unconventional stroll across the stage in the buff to present the award for Best Costume Design and Al Pacino’s unconventional move of bypassing the Best Film nominations, jumping straight to announcing the winner.

The red carpet was ablaze with discussion-worthy fashion choices, with actress Kelly Ripa and her husband Mark Consuelos capturing attention. Ripa’s striking black, see-through gown caused quite a stir on social media, garnering both admiration and critique.

In today’s social media-driven landscape, the scrutiny of celebrity fashion is heightened, with live images from the red carpet disseminating worldwide instantly. It’s no surprise that events like the Oscars and their attendees face intense examination.

Ripa, in particular, found her outfit dissected online. Posting her ensemble—a dazzling black gown—on Instagram, she captioned it “Mom and dad storming the red carpet,” drawing a flood of positive comments from fans, along with some dissenting voices critiquing her choice.

Despite varied opinions, one cannot deny the allure of Kelly and Mark’s appearance at the Oscars. What are your thoughts on their red carpet attire? Share in the comments below!
