Rudolph's Red Robe

Originally posted on March 8, 2018.

While Maya Rudolph stole the Oscars stage with Tiffany Haddish when the presented two short film awards, her dress on was mildly off-putting.

While Haddish wore the Alexander McQueen dress she wore to the premiere of her debut movie Girls’ Trip then famously vowed to wear as many times as possible on SNL, Rudolph opted to keep on the red sack-like dress she wore on the red carpet.

The sheath dress hung in a boring, shapeless manner that left Rudolph looking like a tired, old woman trying to hide in her clothes.

And Rudolph is no such woman, which is what makes this dress choice so wrong.

The dress covered everything.

The high neckline and floor-length hem kept everything to the imagination. While the long sleeves just added insult to injury.

The cuffs on the sleeves just added to the modesty of the dress somehow, instead of adding a bit of much-needed interest.

While Allison Janney shown in red, Rudolph was not as successful.

The red lip matched the dress’s hue perfectly, which was a nice touch to an otherwise lack-luster ensemble.
