Carson and Bingbing dazzle on the Oscars carpet

NEW YORK (AP) — Fan Bingbing made a grand entrance in silver and emerald green on the champagne-colored carpet Sunday at the 95th Academy Awards.

The “X-Men” star wore a Tony Ward Couture dress and wore her hair in Old Hollywood waves. Some of the first to tread the carpet opted for sequins, like Lorenzo Zurzolo. Others, like Brendan Fraser, preferred traditional black tuxedos.

Fan looked like a queen, while Sofia Carson looked like a princess dressed in white in a bespoke outfit by Giambattista Valli, accessorized with a stunning emerald and diamond necklace that accentuated her ball gown with a cinched off-the-shoulder bodice and a delicate diamond-shaped cut in the center. Her jewelry was from Chopard, including 122.49 carats of emeralds and 92.57 carats of diamonds.

Monica Barbaro walked the carpet in a two-tone Elie Saab dress with a full plum skirt over a delicate turquoise chiffon underlay.

“They were the first fashion house to loan me a piece when no one knew who I was,” E!

Jamie Lee Curtis opted for a long-sleeved Dolce & Gabbana dress in the same color as the new Oscar carpet.

Harvey Guillen and Harry Shum Jr. were also among the best dressed, the former in a long Christian Siriano trench coat with silver brocade and the latter in a white jacket with wide lapels and dark edges finished with a navy belt.

Lilly Singh also wore a pair of Sirianos, who managed to finish her Oscar plays last week after a pipe burst, causing a leak in her studio. Singh’s style of magenta pants was complemented by a matching coat.
