Sharing a clip of the best actress winner comically scurrying into the ceremony after losing track of the time, Wascavage cracked on X (formerly Twitter), “the silverware napkin roll realizing they’re about to miss their cue in Be Our Guest.”
HauteLeMode fashion critic Luke Meagher tells Page Six Style he’s noticed an uptick in such papery pieces on red carpets and runways alike, pointing to the “napkin-like dresses” in Onitsuka Tiger’s fall 2024 collection and the “napkin-adjacent” silk scarves on the recent Courrèges catwalk in particular.
“Celebrities probably think it’s a new way to take on form-fitting pieces that have become staples on the red carpets as of late, but with a bit of twist — although I’ve yet to really been convinced the twist is worth it,” he says.
To be clear, napkincore began bubbling up well before the Academy Awards; “Past Lives” star Greta Lee showed off Lii’s avant-garde version of the look at last month’s Independent Spirit Awards , while Kat Graham was “giving elegant origami swan napkin” ( to quote one impassioned Instagram user ) on the Grammys red carpet in Stéphane Rolland Haute Couture.
Of course, the real question is whether looks seemingly meant for blotting one’s lips could possibly catch on with the greater public. Meagher, for his part, thinks they could.
“It’s easy to replicate the trend through self-styling [by] turning scarves or large sheets of fabric into skirts or tops,” he notes, before throwing some of his signature shade.
“It depends on if the trend has a major moment where it actually looks good.”
