Clothing at the Oscars (and other glitzy formalwear events)

glennmagusharvey

Every guy is wearing a tux, a black suit with a black bow tie and a white shirt inside.  Every lady is wearing some solid-color long dress and earrings, and many of them have their hair down and wavy.

There is practically ZERO display of any personality.  So, basically, all I see is a bunch of generically elegantly dressed females and a bunch of generically spiffily dressed males.  With jack schitt for distinguishing characteristics.

Not to mention the very annoyingly high sexual dimorphism as well.  If it's black, it's a man; if it's any other color it's a woman.  T-shirt and jeans can be spotted on high-school boys and high-school girls, while I have to put up with this nonsense for the freakin' Academy Awards?

To those people at the Oscars: Your celebrity world sucks, your fashion sense sucks, and you should all feel bad.

It's true, Jack Schitt is the only celebrity ever that displays any originality at these things. Shame.

Has Mr. Schitt ever won any Oscars or Grammies?

Bob

Nope. Shame, too, because he's just amazing. But, I guess that's just how it goes.

At least women wear colored things.

I wish formal clothing for guys was more colorful and varied and... not boring.

Bob

There's always dying or just making the clothes yourself. Or paying someone else to do it.

But then people have freakin' dress codes.  Such as senior photos.

We were allowed to wear anything standardly allowed for our high school photos, until we were seniors.  Then we had to come dressed formally.  That really sucked.
