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 shared 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: “Unlike 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 like 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.

Dog spotted in water during dinner cruise: yacht crew jumps into action to save her life
When a couple noticed a puppy suffering in the water, their dinner cruise on a yacht took an extremely unexpected turn, motivating the crew to perform an amazing rescue.
Terry Johns was leading a dinner cruise between Fort Myers Beach and Lighthouse Beach in Florida on board the Sanibel Harbor Princess.
But when a couple noticed a puppy in the water, trying to keep afloat, the cruise took an unexpected turn, according to WINK News.
Captain Johns said to WINK, “I looked out, and I saw something in the water.” “Then I heard dogs, dogs, dogs,” all of a sudden.”
To save the dog, the captain and his crew sprang into action. It was unclear whether the animal had been dragged in by the powerful currents or had fallen from a boat.
Kurt Echols, the co-captain, reportedly guided the yacht towards the dog, enabling the crew to save it at the swim platform, according to People.
The dog was subsequently given food and drink by the crew and passengers, and she was thanked for being spared and was characterized as “very friendly.”

The dog was brought to the coast in the hopes of reuniting her with her family. Her microchip was unreadable, though. However, her owners were thankfully informed when the incident made the press.
Ellie, the dog owned by Ben and Kathleen Baker, was lost while on a boat trip. They looked all over the waterways for her, but they couldn’t find her.
They were inconsolable and said, “I just assumed that was it. Ben said to WINK News, “I’m 72 years old, and I have probably cried more in the last 18 hours.”
However, Ellie was located, saved, and reunited with her family because of this boat crew.
What a miracle! We are very grateful to everyone on this yacht for assisting this puppy who went overboard to safely return home!
