Margot Robbie's Black Oscars 2024 Dress Considered A 'Protest' For Nomination Snub
"Barbie" actress Margot Robbie attended the Oscars 2024 red carpet in a black gown -- a total opposite of her pink-clad character in the movie.
The 33-year-old actress seemingly went anti-pink during the Sunday event by wearing a tube black Versace gown. She also kept her overall look simple by sporting a straight hairstyle and minimal gold accessories.
DiscussingFilm tweeted about Robbie's red carpet look, and it received responses claiming that her outfit was a "revenge dress" and a "protest" for not receiving an Oscar nod.
"Revenge dress," tweeted one X user.
"Is this some sort of protest outfit?" commented another.
"[She] should be an Oscar nominee tonight but the #Oscars screwed up," opined a third netizen.
"Ooh, she was mad," another person claimed.
"[She is] wearing black to mourn the death of the Oscar she deserved," wrote a different X user.
A fifth netizen quipped, "She really said, 'No nomination, no Barbie look,' and I can't even blame her."
"She said, 'If you all are gonna snub me for Best Actress, I'm done serving for you all.' This could've been her biggest Barbie wardrobe serve, and she said we don't deserve that," a different netizen stated.
"She's in mourning because she didn't get nominated for Best Actress isn't she?" tweeted someone else.
"I guess the Barbie mania is officially over. She really dressed like she knows she's going home empty-handed," a different netizen claimed.
Robbie previously addressed the nomination snub at the 96th Academy Awards.
"There's no way to feel sad when you know you're this blessed," she said.
However, she noted that the film's director, Greta Gerwig, should have been nominated, saying, "Obviously, I think Greta should be nominated as a director. What she did is a once-in-a-career, one-in-a-lifetime thing.
She added, "What she pulled off, it really is. But it's been an incredible year for all the films."
Despite not receiving a nod for the Best Actress category, "Barbie" is still up for eight Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor for Ryan Gosling, Best Supporting Actress for America Ferrera, Best Costume Design, Best Production Design and Best Original Song for "What Was I Made For?" and "I'm Just Ken."
"Everyone getting the nods that they've had is just incredible, and the best picture nod... People's reactions to the movie have been the biggest reward of this entire experience," Robbie said.
