10 thoughts I had during the 2019 Oscars Red Carpet | Guest Written by Halle Baerenstecher

1. Gaga's jaw-dropping fashion statements compliment her similarly jaw-dropping vocals and performance in "A Star Is Born." She looks stunning in a Breakfast at Tiffany's-esque look. The wonderfully structural hips on her black Alexander McQueen dress give the classic gown a modern look. How much do you think that Tiffany & Co. diamond around her neck is worth??

2. I love the number of men wearing colorful, velvet suits. I see you Chris Evans, Jason Momoa, David Oyelowo, Stephan James...

3. Yalitza Aparicio is glowing in her off the shoulder sea-foam, sparkling gown. Her smile shines brighter than anyone at the awards! I love you, Yalitza.

4. Marina de Tavira rocks her red dress. Structured tulle always makes my heart stop.

5. I think I can speak for everyone when I say Billy Porter blew us all away in his Christian Siriano tuxedo gown.

6. Chadwick Boseman rocks a beautifully unconventional outfit: wide leg pants, pointed boots, and a sequin jacket with a sparkling train.

7. Rachel Weisz is rubberized. In red. Her look reminds me of something I would wear as a kid. Can't tell if I am a fan of it or not...

8. Sarah Paulson's balloonish pink dress is giving me chills - and it has pockets!

9. Nicholas Hoult and Joe Alwyn are my favorite boys from The Favourite. I love Joe's classic tux and Nicholas' unconventional garb.

10. Hi, Rue, Tell me how to get my skin to glow like yours. Amandla Stenberg stuns in a cascading chain dress.

Until next year!
