Fashion misses at the Oscars

Jared Leto, Ahmir Thompson and Will.i.am

SO REALLY? Move aside, the men came to slay the carpet, too, at the Oscars 2015 in Hollywood on Sunday. Though many of these gents played it safe with black and white, all of them sizzled in their tailored items. But Gloria Haguma brings you some of the looks that spelt gloom at the Academy Awards red carpet.

Jared Leto
The coloured tux is preferred, but I don’t think lavender would be the ideal. Apart from coming off as a girly colour, it is paired with those white shoes, and that misplaced umbrella. It doesn’t matter how expensive it may be. The only place the umbrella can make a statement is at the circus.

Ahmir Thompson
Even though the tux wasn’t a bad choice, it is worn in the worst way ever. It is baggy, made out of velvet and paired with red trainers. And we are still not sure why he had to wear his heart on his jacket lapel.

Will.i.am
When it comes to music, this award winning artiste is the master of his trade. The same though cannot be said of his fashion sense. For instance, this look that he wore at the Academy Awards. The dress pants are awkwardly cuffed at the hem, not mention they are paired with the striped back drop shirt. The only way to redeem this look is ban it.
