Oscar 2023 Live: The Oscars Red Carpet is no longer red, it’s champagne-hued this year

For the first time in 62 years, the Academy has ditched red for champagne no, not wine, but in the colour of its carpet. Oscars’ red carpet — where Hollywood stars are at their glamorous best — with a champagne-coloured rug, a significant departure from tradition. The decision was taken by creative consultants Lisa Love (long-time Vogue contributor) and Raúl Àvila (New York’s Met Gala creative director).

The carpet is covered with a tent: to weather-protect the stars and cameras, and create an ‘evening event’ atmosphere. Love described the carpet’s colouring as “sand”, “sienna, saffron colour evokes the sunset, as this is before the golden hour”. Host Jimmy Kimmel jokingly said, it “shows how confident we are that no blood will be shed”.

The Oscars red carpet dates back to 1961 (33rd Academy Awards), the first time the ceremony was televised (ABC), but it was publically seen only in 1966, when the Oscars were broadcast in colour for the first time.
