As celebrities began hitting the red carpet, fans were searching for Lady Gaga, who always stuns with her looks and after showing up at the Critics Choice Awards with two different looks (via Good Morning America).
The actress was not seen at the Oscars red carpet this year, breaking the hearts of fans who were ready to see what look she would pull out this year (via Page Six). Given her snub, many assumed the worst, thinking she was sticking it to the Oscars by not appearing. However, Gaga had a good reason for not being on the red carpet: She was co-hosting Elton John’s annual AIDS Foundation’s Academy Awards Viewing Party with Billy Porter and Eric McCormack (via Elite Daily).
Don’t worry, Little Monsters. Gaga still got to walk a red carpet at John’s fundraising event and looked stunning in a strapless yellow gown. The singer-turned-actress is also still expected to present at the Oscars, so you’ll still get your Gaga fix! The singer even tweeted, “We’re cheering everyone on tonight and see you @TheAcademy SOON!”
