At the 96th annual Academy Awards in Hollywood on Sunday, a heɑrtwarming Barbie moment unfolded on the red carpet. America Ferrera, nominated for Best Supporting Actress for Barbie, and Billie Eilish, nominated for Best Original Song for ‘What Was I Made For?’ from the same film, stood together in strikingly different red carpet looks.
Billie embraced a cool schoolgirl style, donning a plaid skirt, black three-button blazer from Chanel, and Mary Jane heels. Her brother and frequent collaborator, Finneas O’Connell, accompanied her in a classic tuxedo. The singer’s unique ensemble reflected her distinctive taste, complemented by a black-and-white herringbone purse with the iconic gold Chanel logo.
In contrast, America Ferrera radiated Hollywood glamour in a figure-hugging Barbie pink gown. The sequined pale pink dress showcased her sculpted arms, toned legs, and small waistline, featuring a V-cut neckline and a mermaid finish with a slight train. She accessorized with a thick gold and gemstone necklace, making a stunning statement on the Oscars red carpet.
As they posed and hugged like longtime friends, the duo exemplified camaraderie amidst the glittering Oscar celebration. America’s husband, Ryan Piers Williams, joined her, adding to the star-studded affair.
The 96th Academy Awards, held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, honored the best films of 2023. Notable contenders included ‘Barbie’ and ‘Oppenheimer,’ with the latter receiving 13 nominations, just one shy of the all-time record set by ‘Titanic’ in 1998.
Despite ‘Barbie’ earning eight nominations, it faced notable snubs for stars Margot Robbie and director Greta Gerwig.
America Ferrera’s nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her role in ‘Barbie’ came as a surprise, with pundits attributing it to her character’s impassioned feminist speech in the film.
‘Barbie’ also secured nominations for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor for Ryan Gosling, and two nods for Best Original Song, including Gosling’s ‘I’m Just Ken.’”
