Oscars 2023 red carpet is one of the most awaited events in the entertainment industry, with millions of viewers flocking to watch their favorite stars walk the red carpet in their designer gowns and tailored suits. However, this year’s Oscars saw a change from the traditional red carpet to a champagne colored one.
In ancient Greece, red carpets were exclusively used for royalty during high-profile events. Nowadays, red carpets have come to symbolize luxurious and glamorous occasions such as movie premieres, award shows, and other prestigious events. The tradition of using the red carpet for the Academy Awards ceremony can be traced back to the 1960s.
Over the years, the red carpet has become an iconic part of the Academy Awards ceremony, symbolizing the grandeur and excitement of the event as well as the glamor and luxury associated with Hollywood. However, this year’s Oscars saw a change to the champagne-colored carpet, which left some fans wondering why.
According to reports, the decision to change the color of the carpet was taken due to the event going from day to night. The Oscars have always had a problem with start times, as the sun and heat can make it difficult for attendees to prepare for the night’s event. The organizers wanted the carpet to reflect the calm atmosphere of a beach in the evening. As a result, they opted for a calm and neutral color that would not contrast with the orange tent set up to protect the attendees from possible weather changes.
Raul Avila and Lisa Love, longtime contributing creative consultants for Vogue and creative directors of the glamorous Met Gala in New York, made the final decision on choosing the champagne-colored carpet. Love described the color as “sand,” which adds to the calming effect of the carpet.
While the change in color of the carpet may have surprised some fans, the champagne-colored carpet still provided a beautiful backdrop for the stars to show off their designer outfits as they arrived at the highly anticipated event.
