Chloé Zhao’s Oscars 2026 outfit had viewers asking, “Is this a funeral service?”
Looking a little bit like she jumped out of a horror movie, the Hamnet director posed for the camera in a Gabriela Hearst gown.
The black ruffled gown had sweeping bell sleeves. And the look was topped off with a black veil, making one viewer ask, “Is she in mourning?”
“Is she mourning cus she knows she won’t win the Oscar?” asked another.
“Seriously? Is she going to the funeral of the Oscars?” one said, while another wrote, “No one is going to beat how horrible this is.”
Another wrote, “An outfit with a trash bag so we don't get lost, friend.”
“Gurl … you’re at the wrong award show for dressing up like that,” one said.
Many compared her to a witch, while others claimed she must be grieving the cancellation of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot, which she was meant to direct.
“What potion or spell is she planning to conjure later?” one asked.
“She’s mourning the death of the Buffy reboot,” read one comment.
“Clearly…in mourning what @hulu did to the Buffy reboot,’ one speculated.
Another claimed, “She’s in mourning for Buffy.”
