"On the biggest night in movies, there are two ways to win: your years of craft and toil can be rewarded with a beautiful golden statue that names you one of the best of the best in your industry; or you can look really, really, good on the red carpet. This year, the big winner of the red carpet was the brooch."
"The hottest men (and some women) in Hollywood are pinning butterflies and shrimps and flowers to the lapels of their coats just so that the light catches them and shines. It was not the first time that brooches have appeared on the Academy Awards red carpet-fashion icon and beautiful man Colman Domingo has been wearing them for years to Hollywood events-but this year they reached saturation."
"The placement of all three in a triangle also mirrors the triangles created by the suit jacket and the lapel itself, which I find very satisfying. Here is Ludwig Görannsson holding his Oscar for Best Score, and look at how it matches those two golden brooches! I like how both are round in shape, but not perfectly round."
Brooches dominated the red carpet fashion at the Academy Awards, becoming the standout accessory of the night. While brooches have appeared at previous Hollywood events, particularly worn by fashion icon Colman Domingo, this year marked unprecedented saturation with nearly every leading man sporting decorative pins. Stars pinned butterflies, shrimps, flowers, and stars to their jacket lapels, creating eye-catching details that caught the light. Notable examples included Michael B. Jordan's three star-shaped brooches arranged in a triangle formation, Ludwig Görannsson's golden round brooches complementing his Oscar, and Jon Hamm's delicate flower brooch with diamond filaments. Colman Domingo continued his brooch tradition with a sparkling flower pin paired with a silk handkerchief.
