'West Side Story' Star Ariana DeBose Joins Steven Spielberg & Rita Moreno on Oscars 2022 Red Carpet
Ariana DeBose stuns in a custom Valentino look at the 2022 Academy Awards red carpet on Sunday (March 27) at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
The 31-year-old West Side Story actress was joined by director Steven Spielberg and co-star Rita Moreno.
“I firmly believe that for an event like the Oscars, you have to show up 100 percent firmly and authentically you,” Ariana told THR of her hybrid gown/tux ensemble. “The look that I’m wearing and the designer is a reflection of that; it shows me as myself in every way. It’s bold and it’s a choice that maybe you don’t typically see at the Oscars. It celebrates femininity and masculinity in the same breath.”
West Side Story is up for Best Picture at tonight’s ceremony, with Ariana and Steven scoring nominations for Best Actress and Best Director, respectively. See all the nominees here!
FYI: Ariana wore an Valentino Haute Couture look with De Beers jewelry. Rita wore Carolina Herrera.
