Oscars red carpet in pictures: Awkwafina, Amy Poehler and more defy gender norms

The theme of the Oscars red carpet this year? Breaking down gender stereotypes.

As well as Billy Porter’s incredible tux dress challenging the norms of masculinity on the red carpet, other stars including Awkwafina and Amy Poehler and Elsie Fisher also challenged tradition with gender-breaking tuxedos.

Awkwafina, who had two huge movie hits in 2018 with Crazy Rich Asians and Ocean’s 8, was a vision in a mermaid-like tux, while Poehler opted for a classy black tux.

Amandla Sternberg, the non-binary star of The Hate U Give, looked gorgeous in a grey gown, too.
