Over the weekend celebrities gathered in bulk for the Oscars. Though the event is meant to highlight the biggest and best films of the year, music was well represented. The Academy gives out an award for Best Original Song, which saw Billie Eilish, Jon Batiste, and Mark Ronson all performing. Eilish ultimately took home the award for the second time already in her short career. But one place where musicians were even more well-represented were some of the after-parties.
As you’d expect, a lot of focus was placed on outfits and looks. Halle Bailey showed up looking stunning even as her film The Little Mermaid failed to secure any nominations. Ice Spice looked great in a black see-through dress but still found herself having to defend her fashion choices online. But Childish Gambino was one of the most surprising, as he debuted an entirely new look. For the event, he showed off a new haircut, substituted his full beard for just a mustache, and donned a red AMIRI suit. While the fit was attention-grabbing, once the surprise of the change wore off fans had mixed reactions. Check out Glover’s new look from over the weekend below.
