Oscars 2017: Ryan Gosling Ruffles Feathers With Ruffled Shirt (PICS)

He's drawn comparisons to Austin Powers, but others reckon he pulls off the look.

He’s renowned as one of the suavest men in Hollywood, but Ryan Gosling’s arrival on the red carpet of this year’s Oscars did not get the unanimous praise from his fans we were expecting.

While we’re used to him being among the best-dressed men at whatever red carpet he’s on, Ryan’s choice of a ruffled shirt at this year’s Academy Awards didn’t quite sit well with everyone on social media.

Admittedly, some applauded his fashion choice, but others were questioning whether he raided the fancy dress prior to attending the star-studded event.

Ruffles, though, Ryan? Really?

Some were still in Ryan’s corner, though, sticking up for the ‘La La Land’ star after seeing his look:

Just saw @RyanGosling & his #grammys2017 shirt. I never thought I'd be happy to see ruffles return, but I am both intrigued and enthralled.

Ryan was nominated for Best Actor In A Lead Role thanks to his all-singing, all-dancing performance in ‘La La Land’.

He had stiff competition in the category from ‘Fences’ actor Denzel Washington and Casey Affleck, who appeared in ‘Manchester By The Sea’.

Meanwhile, Ryan’s co-star Emma Stone also raised eyebrows on the red carpet, but it was more for the political statement that she made than her sartorial choices.

Although it was a subtle gesture, Emma was seen sporting a pin in support of Planned Parenthood, while other stars in the red carpet wore blue ribbons in honour of the ACLU.
