Oscars 2023 Why did the Academy change the red carpet to
Oscars 2023 witnessed the replacement of the red carpet with a champagne-coloured one, breaking a 62 year record.
The Oscars are an eagerly awaited event in the entertainment industry, where millions of viewers tune in to see their favourite stars walk the red carpet in their designer outfits. However, this year's Oscars deviated from the traditional red carpet and opted for a champagne-coloured one, which garnered attention.

In ancient Greece, red carpets were only used for kings and queens during important events. Now, red carpets are a symbol of fancy and glamorous occasions such as movie premieres, award shows, and other special events. The use of a red carpet for the Academy Awards ceremony started in the 1960s and has become a tradition since then.

The red carpet has become an important part of the Academy Awards ceremony, representing the excitement and luxuriousness of the event and Hollywood. But, this year, the Oscars used a champagne-coloured carpet instead, which made some fans curious about the reason for the change.

Reports suggest that the reason for changing the colour of the Oscars carpet from red to champagne was because the event was moved from a daytime to a nighttime slot. Earlier, the daytime temperature was inconvenient for attendees who were heavily dressed for an event of that magnitude. The organizers wanted a calming and neutral colour to reflect a serene atmosphere, similar to the beach at twilight hours. They chose a hue that wouldn't clash with the orange tent set up to protect attendees from potential weather changes.

Raul Avila and Lisa Love, who are experts in creative consulting and fashion, decided to use a champagne-coloured carpet for the Oscars. Lisa Love, who has experience in organizing glamorous events like the Met Gala, described the colour as "sand" and believed that it would add a soothing effect to the atmosphere. Even though the change in carpet colour was unexpected, it still looked great and made for a stunning backdrop for the stars to show off their designer outfits at the event.
