WHY WON’T THE CARPET BE RED AT THE OSCARS?
For six decades, the color of the carpet has had one constant: the color red. But this year, 2023, they have decided to break with tradition and the color will now be “champagne”. The reason? because it only strove for innovation, and the people in charge are creative consultants Lisa Love, a contributor to Vogue, and Raúl Ávila, creative director of the glamorous Met Gala in New York.
