The decision to change to a champagne-colored carpet came from creative consultants Lisa Love and Raúl Àvila who knew they had the freedom to break from tradition. For the first time since 1961, the Oscars carpet will not be red:
have changed over the years, but for the past six decades there has been at least one constant: The red carpet. The hues have varied over the years, but it has always been some shade of red. Until this year.
The decision to change the color came from creative consultants Lisa Love, a longtime Vogue contributor, and Raúl Àvila, the creative director for the glamourous Met Gala in New York. “We turned a day event into night,” Love told The Associated Press. “It’s evening, even though it’s still 3:00.” There wasn’t any debate over the change, Love said. They just knew they had the freedom to break from tradition. They tried some other colors too but they seemed too dark with the covered tent. “We chose this beautiful sienna, saffron color that evokes the sunset, because this is the sunset before the golden hour,” Love said.They weren’t especially worried about upsetting Oscars traditionalists either.
