The Watch Metamorphoses OnlineOscars red carpet is often both the most glamourous and the least adventurous of awards season — but after A Weird Year, after an odd and unique awards season that saw famous and creative folks accepting and losing awards from their couches in everything from full couture to tie-dye hoodies, the select few who attended Sunday's in-person Oscars ceremony did not come to play.

That much was clear the second Ma Rainey's Black Bottomstar Colman Domingo showed up in a retina-searing, gloriously shocking pink tux. Take a deep breath first:

In fact, the fellas were having some fun with the whole fancy-suit concept for once. Witness LaKeith Stanfield, who attended the British Film Institute satellite event in this.

It might have been the serve of the night if Minari's Alan S. Kim hadn't shown up in Thom Browne and given us tiny-David-Rose realness. Kid knowshis angles.

Desmond Roe and Travon Free, who later collected the Oscar for Best Animated Short, went for matching, endearing, bright-accented fun.

Witness Leslie Odom Jr. in this wildly luxe Brioni creation. The power of the turtleneck!

Steven Yeun played it straight because he's Steven Yeun and he is Enough, but I'm going to need an entire Pixar movie about this adorable bow tie, please.

Respect also to Riz Ahmed's impossibly sleek turtleneck and silk cummerbund situation, and also to his wife Fatima Farheen Mirza's gorgeous, modest aqua gown (and her greys!).

Speaking of sleek, one cannot do so without Daniel Kaluuya's double-breasted magic with a little sparkly flex. (Check the triangular cufflinks echoing the pocket detail.)

For Andra Day's understated take on the same vibe.

I like to imagine she had to help Carey pee and they laughed about the whole thing. Credit: ABC / Getty Images

For Amanda Seyfried! (This could have used a diamante M for Mankon her décolletage but never mind.)

For LAURA DERN! And her FEATHERS WITH A LEG SLIT!

For Oscar winner Chloe Zhao's Oscar-winning sneakers! (OK, she won Best Director for Nomadland, but the vibes are strong.)

I have a feeling she won't make anyone in 'Eternals' fight baddies in four-inch heels. Credit: ABC / Getty Images

For Oscar winner Youn Yuh-Jung and her pockets!

And for host and director of multi-nominated One Night In MiamiRegina King, whose Wedgwood blue goddess epaulette situation is the only thing I want to talk about for the rest of the night thank you very much.

The red carpet is back, friends, but not just for the famous and beautiful. Take these fits as a sign you should wear whatever you want when you venture back outside.
