After last year’s controversial ceremony, the Oscars returned to the Dolby Theatre on Sunday without incident as the fashion was the only thing that slapped.

Everything Everywhere All at Once swept seven categories including best picture, best actress for Michelle Yeoh, best director, best editing, best supporting actor for Ke Huy Quan, best supporting actress for Jamie Lee Curtis, and best original screenplay.

Brendan Fraser was the latest hetero star to win for playing gay and took home Best Actor after wearing prosthetics and digital makeup to transform into an obese man in The Whale.

Thankfully, the Academy Awards red champagne carpet and the Vanity Fair afterparty kept it more queer and featured a steady stream of some of our favorite LGBTQ+ celebs including Janelle Monae, last year’s Oscar winner Ariana DeBose, Matt Bomer, Laverne Cox, Harvey Guillen, the Queer Eye guys, and Mother Monster herself, Lady Gaga.

Other sartorial standouts included Angela Bassett in regal purple, daddylicious Pedro Pascal in a tieless tux, and Jeremy Pope in a plunging polka dot suit.
