Angela Bassett was another early arrival at the 2019 Oscars this evening (February 24).
The actress, who is on presenting duties, donned a custom Reem Acra gown which certainly didn’t lack for drama with its shocking pink colour and punchy silhouette.
The way the draping on the bodice blooms into the swooping shoulder is a clever and joyful move.
With a thigh-skimming slit, the feminine style still has plenty of allure.
It’s just a shame about the creases.

She’s working her magic as usual but how are they not checking the tailoring the night before to make sure it’s not sloppy?
While I am not a fan of the big billowy bow on the shoulder look, I thought Angela sold it. Just thought it was a tad tight on her.
What C list?
Papa legba would be proud!
What did she eat?
Doesn’t seem to age!
This is the best comment hahaha
Could’ve been a beautiful high-impact look, but the wrinkles ruin the look.
What in the $&@%? Is this a concerted effort to have a drab red carpet to draw attention to an issue or something. Unbelievably avoidable and unflattering dress.
Love the colour and that is about it. The Bow is overdone, the fit is off and the creases are a shame.
Angela Bassett deserves A-List designers, get her a new stylist who will vouch for her like Sophie Lopez did for Yalitza Aparicio.
Reem Acra? I’m mad.
I have a hard time with the wrinkles/creases.
It seems prom-y with creases. disappointing, for her esp.
This is ill-fitting, unflattering and dated.

Usually, Angela’s hair is my #hairgoals but this time, sadly no. This looks horrible.

I don’t think this picture does her justice. The pose is causing the bunching in the skirt. On TV this is stunning.
Dramatic, sure, but, overall, this is not a great dress, which is unfortunate, because Angela’s hair, makeup, an accessories are all stunning.
The creases and visible seams really cheapens the dress and I don’t like the design overall. The colour of course is great on her though, and neck up gorgeous.
She looks flawless.
We have seen that shoulder bow design so many times.
Viola did it at the bafta
Beyonce did it in balmain
Zendaya recently did it also.
This is so bad and cheap looking.
+1. There is nothing good about this.
The material is so unflattering.
Oh Angela, honey what is this? You’re better than this C-list dress.
Love the color and that’s it.
