How To Ruin An Oscar Gown

February 27, 2017 Blind Gossip

[Blind Gossip] One of the actresses at last night’s Oscars wore a beautiful gown. She  accessorized with a large ribbon for a “cause.”

She interacted with a lot of people, but the ribbon did not exactly bring her the attention she wanted.

At the party, she was complaining, “I don’t understand why more people aren’t asking me about my ribbon! I want to talk about the ribbon but they only want to talk about the film. They don’t seem to understand that the ribbon and the film are the same thing. Why don’t they want to talk about it?”

She did say that she did one interview on the red carpet, where, as she was leaving, she heard the interviewer comment to the cameraman, “Did she look in the mirror before she put that ribbon on? Way to ruin an Oscar Gown!”

She said, “I just turned around and said ‘I HEARD THAT!’ and walked away.”

    Negga in red dress & tall dark short hair in white dress…

    I don’t advertise my political positions in a professional setting. I wear a bracelet for MS awareness, but I wouldn’t wear it to a formal event bc it is inappropriate stylewise. However, I wouldn’t mind a custom fancy one for formal events, but that would mean I would have to get all gussied up and put on paint and spackle and smile a lot. So, on second thought, no thanks.

    They are free to express themselves on whatever subject/issue they choose. They have that right, just as anyone has a right to express themselves on whatever subject – however well educated the person may be. Which is why we have some people spouting off about subjects they clearly are ignorant about and then media types and celebrities attack them for their ‘dumb’ statements. Celebrities are free to express themselves and will be held to the same standard. Many I hear are nothing but…

    I thought Ruth Negga’s red gown was stunning but I thought the blue ribbon slapped on it looked out of place and definitely ruined the look. Others were more subtle about their placement, or more strategic, but given its placement and given the blind suggestion that they were determined to dialog about it, this is my guess.

    optional: it’s their life and their freedom to say it as much as it’s my freedom to agree or disagree with them.

    Ruth Negga.
    Personally, I think entertainers should entertain, and if they want to get political, go into politics like so many other actors, singers, etc. I care about their politics as much as they much as they care about mine, and considering I live in a completely different unpampered, less wealthy world, I wish I didn’t have to hear them complain so much. I pay you to entertain me, so entertain me.

    Ruth Negga and the ACLU ribbon. Not only was her red dress hideous, but the placement of the ribbon was right at boob level. The Oscars always go out of their way to make political statements because lord knows those entitled people need a cause to champion, especially if it gets them press.

    • spookie says

      It went further than just “getting press” – the ACLU were heavily involved with the Loving case.

    Ruth Negga and the blue ACLU ribbon.

    This political activism out of Hollywood is tiresome. They are paid handsomely to act/ sing or dance. Most are stupid and uneducated yet we are to hang on to their every word.? Tell us about how racist we are when our towns and schools are over run with illegals who don’t speak the language and go on welfare for us taxpayers to support. No wall at the border? How about no walls at your estates, and no armed security? Do as I say, not as I do…

    Ruth Negga? The blue ribbon looked bizarre on that bright red dress.

    Optional – Not a huge fan of virtue signalling myself – I’m of the opinion that charity work etc means more if done quietly and not for recognition or applause.

    Having said that – I do believe in the right to express oneself as you see fit – so ribbon away if it is something you believe in.

  27. KatarinaJ says

    February 27, 2017 at 1:52 pm

    Ruth Negga? Lots of folks wore light blue ribbons for ACLU but most somehow made it look okay and hers on the very fabric-y lots of coverage orange-red dress probably didn’t.

    Ruth Negga? I have no idea. Only watched Hacksaw Ridge of all the movies nominated but saw she was wearing that awful blue ribbon. It ruined her look. The interviewer was right.

    I hate it. If I want to be lectured about politics I can just go and watch CNN or Fox News.

  34. Vampira says

    Ruth Negga; Everyone was raving about her dress (?!), but that ribbon was stuck on a ridiculously awkward place, especially since she’s flat as a board.

  35. PrincessConnie1 says

    February 27, 2017 at 2:20 pm

    I noticed the ACLU blue ribbon on several and thought the same thing… Tacky and way to ruin a gown. I understand the need/want to make a social/political statement. But I think there are better ways to do it. I’m with the cameraman on this one!

  36. ethelm says

    February 27, 2017 at 2:22 pm

    I don’t know who this is. Do I love or hate when actors……? I intensely dislike it when rich, spoiled, pampered, uneducated “stars” who live in a bubble of celebrity use their status to push their own agendas on awards shows. If they are genuine in their beliefs, take the mikes/cameras away and let them go to a protest or donate money to a good cause or do a benefit for free. They’re actors who pretend for a living. Why in the world would I want them to tell me how to think or vote?

  37. LilibetP says

    February 27, 2017 at 2:26 pm

    Ruth Negga and her ACLU ribbon. Her gown wasn’t ruined by the ribbon – it wasn’t a very good gown.

    Ruth Negga – I think it’s fine when celebrities make statements or were ribbons – its funny when they don’t now what they’re talking about – but good when they can talk intelligently and highlight things that some people might never hear about.

    Ruth Negga wearing an ACLU ribbon.

    I think it complimented get dress. As the Loving couple were represented by ACLU lawyers, I think it was a nice touch.

    I don’t like grandstanding but I think wearing a pin/ribbon like Ruth/Emma did is nice. Also telling people to look up a name, like #standwithgavin. Use your platform.

  43. LewyLewy82 says

    February 27, 2017 at 2:44 pm

    Okay I had to do some research on this one. At first I thought it was Kate Hudson (How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days) but when i looked up her dress she didnt have any pins. Then I remembered that Dakota Johnson was in How to be Single. I looked her up and she had 2 dresses and she wore the Planned Parenthood pin with both dresses. Unless you know what a Planned Parenthhood pin looks like you would never ask about it. It looks like a regular pin.

    On a side note, both of her dresses were butt…

    This has to be Ruth Negga! She wore a blue ACLU ribbon on her red dress. The clues being it clashing with the red dress “did she look in the mirror” and the film and the ribbon being the same thing – the ACLU were the ones who provided legal advice in the film. Ps first time posting!

    I think it was Ruth Negga for her blue ribbon in support of the ACLU which was the story of the movie “Loving.” I think it wasn’t necessary because as she said, “The ribbon and the film are the same thing.” I’m not in favor of it simply because this is an awards show and not a political forum.

    Didn’t watch because I am sick and tired of actors politicizing every occasion for public gain and photo ops. They can view their opinions on their own time. So over it, I didn’t watch, nor did anyone I know for this very reason. They are entitled to their vote just as everyone else is. Soo over celebrities bashing the POTUS

    Sorry, celebs. Most people don’t care about your cause du jour. Makes me think of the Seinfeld ep where those who don’t wear the ribbon get harassed. Sorry, celebrebots, the normal person doesn’t care about your cause. They care about making ends meet. Yes, I recycle and am conscious of my energy usage. I don’t want women to get paid less, but I’m not going to make an idiot of myself dressing as a vagina. Nevermind that the bogus Clinton Foundation paid female staffers less than the guys.

    Ruth Negga. She wore her blue ACLU ribbon on the bodice of her red dress and it ruined the dress, to me.

    I hate it when actors get political. They really are dissing half of their fan base, and it makes us feel unappreciated. I didn’t watch the Oscars, just read the updates and looked at pictures on Daily Mail. I was relieved to see that not many wore the ribbons, but still, Hollyweird needs to entertain and shut up with the political activism. They COULD try to unite instead.

    I’m not sure who this is, as many elected to wear a ribbon. I think it’s great when a celebrity uses their high profile to back a cause they believe in, as long as they actually believe in it. What else is celebrity good for?

    Don’t know about the actress, but I’ve no problem with celebrities supporting causes and speaking up. They’re people, citizens, and if Joe Accountant on the street is allowed to voice their opinion and openly support a cause, why can’t Jack Actor? There’s an uncomfortable amount of “your job is to act, not to preach politics and causes” and I’m like… yeah? And my job is bartending, maybe I should do that instead of supporting causes and speaking up about politics. Come on now.
