imagine pitching "sunset beach" and delivering "11am conference room" 🤢 i'm not an awards show girlie so i really did not think i had such strong opinions about the color of the carpet until i saw it

Imagine if the carpet had been literally any shade or depth of blue. It would’ve complimented the orange tent while still looking great on camera where you don’t see orange, giving the beach vibes if they really wanted that which I don’t understand, and the champagne and pale dresses would’ve looked so ethereal on blue.

I never realized how much of a difference the RED of a red carpet actually makes. they all look like they're in an unfinished area, like it's the wooden subfloor of a construction zone

Mina, you are QUICK with the turn around. Thank you for explaining why they chose the ugly carpet. As they say "Cool motive, still murder"

Mina’s hatred of beige speaks to my colour-obsessed soul

I really enjoy that they tried to sell that horrific landlord's special carpet as "champagne." It looks like they held the event in an abandoned JC Penneys.

Angela Bassett looked gorgeous in that purple dress. Even though she didn't win the Best Supporting Actress Oscar, she still looked like royalty. 👑

If it was raining, it’s a terrible idea to have a beige carpet because no one’s entering the enclosure with plastic packets around their shoes.

I feel like Cara's stylist knew it was going to be a beige carpet and kept the tea for themself.

cate blanchett has been rewearing things all awards season and we love to see it!!

Even if you don't watch the Oscars at all, you can always rely on Tessa from Modern Gurlz and Mina to deliver top notch style content! 🥰❤️

Sandra Oh was criminally underrated at the Red Carpet and also an underrated moment when she was happy crying for the Best Picture winner.

I definitely think a lot of my issues with the outfits came from the absolutely baffling lack of styling!!! So much flat, sad hair, only like 2 people were wearing a bold lip, no one wearing earrings???? It often made the dresses look lackluster or unbalanced, and it was so sad. I don't know if it's 'recession core' or the horrible 'clean girl aesthetic' or maybe just all the support staff were on strike, but it was so depressing to see people wearing these phenomenal dresses with hair like they just rolled out of bed. Also was furious to see Rooney Mara pulling out archive McQueen, only to style it like a girl going to yoga and spending the whole night looking like she's ten seconds away from slinking off into a corner. Girl you are wearing an absolutely stunning piece of archive fashion, you have the chance here to create an iconic Moment, I don't care that smiling isn't your thing, put your shoulders back and wear that dress like it deserves!!!!!

oh my god the ABC commentators were going MAD over austin butler's outfit and couldn't stop talking about how classy it was long after he left and it's like. it was just a normal black suit. girl.

ashley graham's dress looks like something you'd find on shein or fashion nova. also yes! the beige carpet is not doing anyone any favors (except maybe angela basset, who looks gorgeous) - it is beyond lacklustre!!

they really looked at the classic, luxurious red carpet and said hmm nah lets make it look like a trip to grandmas house

I love that Rihanna is so on-your-face about her pregnant belly while on public. It's obvious she feels powerful being pregnant and I love that 😍😍 she looked stunning

Fun fact. I was working the Oscar's and they were saying it was a sand carpet until someone said I think you want to say it's champagne to sounds better. Haha. It also was super dirty when they started to break it down. What a disaster

The beige carpet truly made the most horrific shadows in all of the photos.

13:05 if we're talking interesting male suits, I absolutely loved Harry Shum Jrs. the waist tie, longer and wrap style coat were giving traditional Chinese inspired and the navy on white was such a nice touch.

There’s something insane to me about picking an orange tent and then, as an afterthought, changing the carpet, which is iconic for its color. And also not giving stylists, designers and celebs enough lead time to plan accordingly. Not sure what body is responsible for that series of choices but you’d think you’d plan around the existing traditions/features of the event - ie, people walking down the red carpet…

The beige carpet is giving hotel convention room. You can literally see how dirty it is in photos and they didnt even bother picking up the trash throughout the night 🤣

Hong Chau's dress might be my favorite of the night. It was a blend of modern designer clothes and traditional Vietnamese ao dai. It was classy and paid homage to her roots.

I gasped out loud when I saw Sandra Oh. That dress just touches a specific part of my soul like it looks so pretty with the color and the fabric I would so wear that myself...

2 posts from Mina in 24 hours, we truly are lucky ✨🙌🏽

I totally agree with you about more celebrities wearing archive looks! As long as they aren't historically significant like Marilyn's JFK dress, I think it's a great idea. I would totally wear a 60s Paco Rabanne dress or something from Halston in the 70s if I had to go to an event like that; much more fun and in tune with my personality.

mina i have to say (and this is completely unrelated to this specific video) but i sooooooo appreciate how your videos always have actual subtitles (and not the auto-generated ones that suck) even within short time periods of being uploaded. not a lot of youtubers do that and i really love seeing it on your stuff. thank you so much :)

From my limited knowledge and what I can remember, my favourites were: - Michelle Yeoh - Halle Berry - Angela Bassett (she did the thing again) - Cate Blanchett - Stephanie Hsu - Sandra Oh (majorly underrated outfit btw) - Deepika Padukone - Guneet Monga (Producer of ‘The Elephant Whisperers’) Among the gentlemen, I really liked Harry Shum Jr., Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Leland and Holden (Brendan Fraser’s sons) and The Daniels.

I LOVE not liking/liking a look and then having Mina explain and validate my feelings hahaha

Angela Bassett definitely had one of my favorite looks of the night, but Fan BingBing takes home best dressed. I am also loving Cara's fashion-girl comeback with the two looks from the Oscars as well as her look at the SAG Awards.

My favourite look was hands down Fan Bingbing. She rarely misses and I'm glad see her back on the carpet after having to lay low and looking incredible in silver and emerald. I'm terribly biased towards her looks and this proves to be no acception

I am so glad you talked about that awful black bathing suit with a cape. Every time she was on screen I said whyyyyy? I was here saying "yesss Mina rip it apart 👁👄👁 why you look like you were on a cruise and threw on a cape when you realized the Oscars were today?"

The actors from RRR both had amazing custom outfits that were inspired by the movie, definitely worth looking at

Idc if there’s a shortage of red carpets or whatever, we WANT and DESERVE a Red Carpet. The champagne is for all the afterparties.

My favourite look was Malala Yousafzai. I thought she looked the picture of elegance.

After you said “three kids and a trench coat” I couldn’t even look at it without laughing 😂

Mina giving us gold champagne (I refuse to call this one beige) gown and orange scrunchie realness is the only sunset look I need

Mina Le is back and we couldn't be any more happier. Her outfit looks absolutely breathtaking.

My favorites were Angela Bassett and Fan Bingbing! Angela's gorgeous violet dress really shows off her elegance and beauty. Fan's stunning silver dress with LARGE green sleeves gave me vintage vibes while also giving it a modern edge.

Fan Bingbing in a Tony Ward gown was one of my favorite looks on the carpet! She looked so elegant and regal ✨

My problem with Florence’s is that I feel like I’ve seen this silhouette and platforms too many times on her. I like that Jessie’s managed to look both elegant and punk. Rooney’s dress was exquisite but something is off for me. My favorites were: Women: Hong Chau (Top 1 for me and I’m sad that her style has been overlooked this whole awards season), Malala (I especially loved the story behind the jewelry she wore), Sarah Polley (always a sucker for women wearing suits), Sandra Oh (yes to wearing orange!!) Emily Blunt, and Fan Bingbing. Men: Paul Mescal, Justin Hurwitz, Harry Shum Jr., and Lenny Kravitz. From the VF afterparty: Kaia Gerber, Austin Butler, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Zoey Deutch, Elizabeth Olsen, Adwoa Aboah, and Sabrina Dhowre Elba.

my favorite look was Hong Chau's pink and black custom Prada. the subtle details of the dress like the collar and back triangular cut were so good. the dress so looks like its inspired from traditional Vietnamese dresses.

Totally agree with your point on how and why these celebs/stylists should tap into archival pieces more! That seems like such a huge perk if you’re rich and famous… if only 😭😂

Love you! You should do a video about pregnancy in fashion history, different trends, when different celebrities are pregnant. I'm sure there's some cool history I don't know and you would do it justice

The way I RAN here 💀💀💀

Mina is a front runner in the KZfaq fashion game and thought she could skip reviewing the Oscar's????

I CANNOT BELIEVE you didn't even mention Harvey Guillén's look!!! He was STUNNING!!!!

7:37 YESSSSS SHE ATE THAT LOOK SO BAD NOT MANY PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT IT!!!! Sandra and Giambattista deserve praise for this look 🥰☺☺

pls do this more often. i loved this video !! so fun and it feels so casual - like friends discussing the red (beige) carpet

I love hearing your opinion on fashion and fashion history. Please continue to cover these events. It's nice to hear someone's opinion who knows what she's talking about.

The beige carpet is starting to make all of the photos look like the pictures your mom takes before the school dance… very last minute prom photos.

finally someone talking about jessie buckley's dress! i loved it so much and paired with her red hair gives such a strong and feminine look, so cool

i LOVE listening to your fashion critique and often i find myself nodding along like "wow that DOES look awkwardly shaped," or "oh no not that colour!" while i'm out here wearing literally jeans every day lmao. your commentary is very insightful and you're just so great to watch!

fan bingbing was my fave bc when i saw it i had to pause for a second, i was so in awe

i absolutely adore your input on such events!! you always bring a refreshing take !

i saw someone on tiktok saying that the stylist must have got the hint that the red carpet is gonna be champagne and they mustve misunderstood it and it actually makes so much sense to me

Fan bingbing was everything, the dress and the styling were perfection

Honestly, we need you to take over the big gap left by Joan Rivers as the fashion police. Yes, she went at it more from the comedic side, but your fashion and garment construction knowledge would be perfect for this new era or red, or beige, carpets!

My absolute favorite look of the night was Angela Bassett's. Purple is my favorite color, and she looked radiant in her gown. A look I also love that I haven't seen enough people talk about is Salma Hayek's burnt orange dress, she looked great it in it and the color just popped so well on her. My least favorite look was the champagne carpet itself lol

i havent started the video yet but i just wanted to say that its very slay of you to be wearing champagne and looking so so good while giving such good takes of what's happening on the champagne (i still hate that a little) carpet

Cate Blanchett looks good pretty much no matter what. Sandra Oh? I gasped! Possibly my favorite shade of orange and I love the cut of that dress. I actually kinda like the Florence Pugh dress. I saw a little video of Jamie Lee Curtis and she has so much poise it kills me.

i would love to hear you talk more about the 1910's fashions you briefly mentioned here, the dresses you put up as a reference were so pretty!

I really enjoy your videos because I don’t know anything about fashion, but it fascinates me when is married to history, periods and characters. It kinda tells you something about the person that is wearing it, and also I just love how you explain it, use references so we can see the inspiration of it. Great work!

I gotta say…the champagne carpet made the red dresses look really nice

Surprised she didn't review Michelle Yeoh's look. She looked divine.

Watching you is so cozy and comforting💗

I LOVE your reviews, I wait for them after these kinds of events

I loved Monica Barbaro’s dress! the pairing of the colors was really nice and I think it fit her really well!

Minaaaa a dress I really loved was Gaga's Versace dress, I was waiting for you to comment on it :,)

I’m a fairly new subscriber and have been binging your back catalogue. I’m at a point now where when you say ‘that’s all I have for you today’ I get so sad for the video to be over! Was excited to see a new upload today

thank you for still doing this video!! I enjoyed it so much xx

What a great present to see 💖 I really liked Florence outfit and I don’t really know why, haha. I also love Michelle Williams’ outfit, Hong Chau’s outfit and Sandra Oh’s outfit. Tems make me feel really comfy on that champagne carpet though, but I’m not sure if I like it or not 😂

I’m an 80’s girl, Cara Delevingne looked gorgeous in Elle Saab. My least favorite was Melissa McCarthy by Christian Siriano. I actually loved Allison Williams Giambattista Valli dress!

i loved the lighting and location of this one so much, mina :’) very homey ! my favorite look was fan bing bing’s-i adored the green puffy sleeves.

I like this casual vibe, would love to see more videos like this!!

Andrea Riseborough's McQueen gown was so cool, I thought she wore it well with the short hair and ear jewelry. Her vanity fair Armani prive number was also SUPER cute! Ok but also I loved Danai Gurira's Jason Wu gown, i think it's stunning and she pulled it off incredibly, probably my fave. Ice cold take: Yeoh's Dior undeniable gorgeous

This is just 17 minutes of mina reading every celebrity’s outfit at the Oscar’s and I’m living for it

the way I've been waiting for red carpet and event review videos from our beautiful dove keeper. i luv all ur videos 💕

you’re slaying as always mina. gorgeous. beautiful. stunning. talented.

Sandra Oh’s Giambattista Valli orange drappy dress was the winner for me, it really made her look like a regal sunset 🌅 Lily Singh’s purple 3 kids in a trench coat look screamed I’m a #GIRLBOSS like nails on a chalkboard, cringe. 😬

For men suits, I really liked Barry keughan lilac suit. It was well tailored and the buttons were kinda cute and sparkly. And the Rooney mara dress was so much better with the coat

I am obsessed with that black Victorian style dress and that white classical style dress at the very end. Don't get me wrong, I'm so into extremely contemporary and avant garde styles but I always love and appreciate a blend of actual historical styles in fashion. It just looks smart and unique and thought out if done well. That's why I appreciate Mina's style a lot, it's clearly inspired by an actual historical era but done with a contemporary eye. Lovely :)

Your vibe in each video is chefs kiss 😘

Oooh would love to see a full video on fashion "inspired by the Orient" as you mentioned!!!

10:29 It really gives what it needed to be gave. Also, ‘The Lost Daughter’ and ‘Women Talking’ back to back? We want more of her on screen.

I’m surprised Mina didn’t talk about Harvey Guillén’s outfit. I personally liked it especially with the waves he had in his hair. I also loved Sandra Oh’s look. The color (love when someone wears orange and pulls it off) and the silhouette 😆. Kinda wish they did her makeup differently, feel like it was kinda eh and could’ve been better.

Girlllll, I audibly squealed seeing you uploaded this🤣 Your videos make me feel like I'm having a conversation with my best friend, so chill and fun ✌

Would absolutely love your take on this season of Next in fashion ❤️

I wish they would do more archival looks

Didnt know about the orange interior, thinking most celebrities go for vivid/bright/flamboyant dresses I think a dark blue would have been better! (Unless blue carpets are trademarked somewhere else :/ )

Great video, thoughtful and articulate as always. My favorite look is yours today!

Thank you for mentioning Sandra Oh's dress, she looks so gorgeous!!! The color is so amazing

I liked Michelle Yeoh in Dior Haute Couture, Janelle Monae in Vera Wang (that orange!), Cara Delevingne in Elie Saab (gorgeous), Shohreh Aghdashloo’s meaningful homage to the women of Iran, Stephanie Hsu in Valentino, Malala Yousafzai in Ralph Lauren (love how the head covering was incorporated into the dress), Hong Chau in Prada (she requested the collar be added to pay tribute to her heritage), Marlee Matlin in Dolce&Gabbana, and I’m surprised you didn’t mention Harvey Guillen in Christian Siriano, which was a bold look for a man’s style that I personally really appreciated but I’m sure is divisive.

i can't believe you didn't mention harvey guillen, his look was AMAZING (unless he was actually only at the vanity fair party and not the actual oscars LOL)

I loved this impromptu video! Fun and lighthearted from you is awesome!

your whole videos look like an old movie that i would want to copy the aesthetic of. and literally the lighting and your style omg all fits so well and your amazing backgrounds, oh God 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

Hi, just wanted say that I can't stop thinking about how good this eyebrow shape looks on you! 💛

I don’t think anyone will ever get used to saying champagne 🥂 carpet😂 it’s a tongue twister🌪️

It has been really fun seeing celebs pull archival looks. Kylie, Kendall, Kim, Bella, etc have been really good at digging through archives and wearing them on red carpets and such. Love!

I loved the vibe of the last minute “unprepared” video. Gave me a cozy living room concert type of vibe ❤
