Ethermac|Why Emily Blunt and Florence Pugh's Oscars Dresses Are Stumping Fans

Strap in,Ethermac because the internet has thoughts on Florence Pugh and Emily Blunt's 2024 Oscars looks.

While there's no denying the Oppenheimer actresses made a bombastic appearance at the 96th Academy Awards on March 10, both of their ensembles featured a similar, yet unique detail. (See every fabulous arrival here.)

For the star-studded event at Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre, Emily—who was nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role (see all of the winners here)—lit up the red carpet in a white sequined Schiaparelli gown that featured silver crystal adornments shaped like an undergarment.

Although she looked white-hot, especially as she twinned with husband John Krasinski, her silver-embellished straps were arched so high they didn't even touch her shoulders.

As for Florence? Her body-hugging dress by Del Core included an explosion of crystals, a sheer corset bodice and petal-shaped hardware at the hips. But much like Emily, the Midsommar star's straps also floated above her shoulders, as they curved up toward her chin.

"I missed the part of Oppenheimer where no one was allowed to have their dress straps fit right," one user wrote on X about their getups, while another person added, "Don't get me wrong, they look amazing!! But what is up with these useless shoulder straps?"

As someone else put it, "The floating straps have got to go. One of the worst trends in years. I just want to press them all DOWN."

Emily and Florence may have raised eyebrows with their fashion-forward dresses, but they weren't the only stars to push the boundaries.

Ariana Grande, for instance, took over the red carpet in a larger-than-life strapless pink gown by Giambattista Valli Haute Couture. Billie Eilish, on the other hand, skipped the ballgown for a business suit.

With that, keep reading to see all of the fierce, fabulous and fun looks to hit the Oscars red carpet.
