Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara’s appearance at the Fourth Annual Academy Museum Gala sparked quite a stir, especially due to Mara’s unconventional fashion choice. While Phoenix kept it classic in a suit and bowtie, all eyes quickly shifted to Mara’s daring ensemble.


Her outfit, which some online critics harshly compared to a “nightie and granny panties,” drew a wave of mixed reactions. Many felt it was one of the most questionable Red Carpet looks of the night — with some even mistaking it for lingerie.

The controversial gown quickly ignited debate across social media. Its odd design, according to critics, did little to flatter her figure and instead highlighted her sagging chest, taking away from her usual elegance and allure.
