We can NSI Communityall agree that Issa Rae is far from awkward these days.
Case in point? The actress, who starred in three films that snagged Academy Award nominations (Barbie, American Fiction, and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse) stunned on the 2024 Oscars red carpet at Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood March 10, wearing a full-length AMI Paris dress complete with a plunging neckline. (See every star at the ceremony here).
But isn't just her fashion that has us tuned in, as her quip for casting directors everywhere is what did the trick.
"Cast me," the 39-year-old told Live From E!: The Oscars host Laverne Cox while on the red carpet. "I don't want to say I'm a good luck charm, but I'm wearing green tonight, so I just want to send a message out there that if you want to get nominated for an Oscar, cast me."
And though her résumé speaks for itself, Issa also shared insight into her style has evolved alongside the course of her career.
"I think over time, as I've had to step out more, I've developed love and respect for fashion and designers," she explained, "and any opportunity to work with brilliant artists of all mediums and especially fashion I'm gonna take that opportunity so I've just been loving it."
But Issa isn't the only star that's making a splash before the show. Keep reading to see every star on the red carpet of the 2024 Academy Awards.
