Figure Skaters & other Olympians at The Oscars 2018

[Foolhardy Ham Lint]

Tom & Lorenzo tweeted: "Oh, Adam. The cold shoulder trend is so 2017." But it's certainly an attention getter.

Trust Tom and Lorenzo to be throwing shade at America's Sweetheart. They're the Phil Hersh and Christine Brennan of catty walks.

Olympian and America’s favorite new gay sweetheart, Adam Rippon, has made a big statement at his Oscar’s red carpet debut by wearing a leather harness.

Is Adam planning to swing by Van Nuys after the awards to audition for um, ah 'pilot' season.

The figure skating phenoms adorably freaked out over seeing "Star Wars: The Last Jedi's" Kelly Marie Tran on the red carpet at Sunday's show, and the fangirl feeling was definitely mutual.
"This is my sister! Asian representation," Mirai said, as she and Kelly put their arms around each other when Kelly joined her and Adam's interview with Access' Kit Hoover and Scott Evans.
Mirai and Kelly both killed the fashion game in similar periwinkle hues for Hollywood's biggest night, with Mirai sporting a delicately beaded Tadashi Shoji number with long sleeves and Kelly taking the plunge with a jewled bodice and deep v-neck.
"We got the memo," Mirai said of their matching colors.
Adam made a style splash of his own in a Jeremy Scott tux featuring a leather harness and shoulder details, which Kelly deemed "flawless."
"I'm buckled in. I'm ready to go," he joked to Kit and Scott. "Safety first!"

I don't love how visible the end of Mirai's lining is (mid-thigh) but I like the overlay!

 

[eusebius]

Mirai looks divine I love Tadashi Shoji!

Adam doesn't even have to change to go practice quads in a harness

Mirai's gown is way too matronly for her. Really surprised she picked that. Also, she would have looked fabulous with her hair down.

 

[allezfred]

Am shook that the word "BDSM" came out of Mirai's mouth. #PearlsClutched

Nagasu is friggin' hilarious. I can see what watching Drag Race has done.

If Sonja Henie weren't already dead, I think Mirai's comment would have killed her.

 

[VGThuy]

I seriously like Mirai's look. I think it photographs very well.

I think Tyra Banks just called Adam Rippon's look "hoe" but in like the best way possible:

It seems to be a call back to one of the past episodes of America's Next Top Model.

 

[manhn]

I do not view Mirai's look as matronly at all. I view it as timeless.

 

[giselle23]

I think Mirai looks beautiful. I also love her sassy personality. She isn't letting Adam steal the show!

Lindsey Vonn is the other Olympian who walked the red carpet today - article with video: http://people.com/sports/oscars-2018-lindsey-vonn-oscars-scarier-than-olympics/

“I’m out of my comfort zone,” she said during an interview on the PEOPLE and Entertainment Weekly Red Carpet Live pre-show from the awards show’s red carpet. “The Oscars are such a big deal. I’m trying to soak it all in and not mess it up.”
Vonn added, “Going fast is easy. Here, anything could happen.”
The 33-year-old athlete wore an intricate black gown with fringe neckline and tulle bottom.

Allison Janney just won best supporting actress for I, Tonya.

 

[nubka]

Ot, Ok I confess - the only Oscar movie I've seen so far is "I, Tonya".

I haven't seen any of them...

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

I haven't seen any of them...

Ok, this makes me feel a little better!

 

[Firedancer]

Ok, this makes me feel a little better!

I haven’t seen any of them either.

Mirai looks gorgeous.

Adam's outfit brings new meaning to the word "fugly".

Mirai's gown for the Vanity Fair party was gorgeous. She should have worn that for the Oscars.

Then again, who really cares what anyone was wearing? Frances McDormand clearly doesn't and she ended up wowing everyone. What a treasure she is!

Unsurprisingly, Adam seems to have been one of the most tweeted-about Oscar-attendees

LOL even "Good Housekeeping" is on it, chronicling twitter reactions

When Ryan Seacrest or Giuliana Rancic ask Adam who he's wearing, what are the chances Rippon will say 'Jeff Stryker'?

OH,,, the 80s..... sigh.. I need to go through my "box in the closet".... tee-hee

 

[VALuvsMKwan]

What the heck is with that bondage tux?

When Ryan Seacrest or Giuliana Rancic ask Adam who he's wearing, what are the chances Rippon will say 'Jeff Stryker'?

Tom of Finland?

 

[Foolhardy Ham Lint]

Tom of Finland?

When I went to Helsinki for Worlds last year, there was a Bed Bath & Bonkers shop that sold Tom of Finland bed sheets (of course!)

BBC article said Adam's harness was "perhaps a nod to the Fifty Shades franchise"

Looks like they've since edited out the 50 shades reference so I guess whoever wrote the original version of the article was genuinely that clueless and OMG I'M DYING

Whoever wrote that probably thought Adam was trying to make some sort of movie reference since it was the Oscars and thought of 50 Shades. Maybe it was inspired by a movie but probably not the kind the author was thinking about.

Yeah that's one way to put it (lol)

At least Tyra Banks gets it! https://twitter.com/Adaripp/status/970542352560304128

(Also some of the replies are pretty entertaining)

Cool picture of Shibs with Jordan Peele (Get Out). He holding their medals and them his Oscar! https://twitter.com/icenetwork/status/970721178976505859

Alex is a big fan of that movie, he even joked with Maia about the movie in the Olympics https://twitter.com/AlexShibutani/status/964328696453545984, he must be thrilled
