The Oscars weren’t just about the big screen wins — it was a full-on fashion showdown, and two style icons didn’t hold back on making their red carpet opinions loud and clear to us.

First, TMZ caught up with fashion designer Jenna Lyons, and she was living for all the sheer moments at the after-parties … giving a special shoutout to Julia Fox‘s near-naked look, and Megan Thee Stallion’s bold nipple pasties.

Catch the video, ’cause Jenna found her new season muses — telling us these daring outfits were way more practical for bathroom breaks and bodily freedom, especially compared to one big-name star whose OTT dress left her wondering how she was even navigating the night.

Jenna also pointed out the guys who were bringing their A-game, with Colman Domingo leading the pack — an opinion echoed by “Fashion Queens” host Bevy Smith, who also gave a thumbs-up to Timothée Chalamet’s yellow ensemble.

Conan O’Brien‘s well-landed joke halfway through Sunday night’s Oscars — about Kendrick Lamar calling Drake a pedophile — was nearly left in comedy purgatory, sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ Hip Hop.

Last night, Conan used a commercial break return to poke fun at the halftime cue for Kendrick to shade Drake, in a nod to rap’s biggest moment last year, and last month’s Super Bowl show (see below) … but we’re hearing both the Academy and ABC had strong reservations about getting the joke in, and pushed back in fear of how the crowd would react.

One particular producer made the case and fought the powers, because they firmly believed in the joke. Whether good or bad, the gag was bound to have a big, audible reception!!!

We now know the joke was actually constructed by his longtime writer, Skyler Higby, who told us Monday that Team Coco picking sides in the Kendrick-Drake beef is just as laughable as the joke itself.

And, Skyler’s currently calling out DJ Akademiks for spreading misinformation in Drake’s favor!!!

We also got comic vet Kym Whitley on the subject, and she highly approves of Conan’s commentary … comics aren’t scared anymore, lawsuits be damned, Drake!!!

Kylie Jenner and Emily Ratajkowski are a couple babes in black … problem is, you can only pick one — so, who’s it gonna be?!?

Kylie’s got looks and money … and Emily is no slouch herself … but there’s only one vote here … and we’re trying to see something.

VOTE NOW!

The results could be pretty interesting — and we’ve got a hunch where Timothée Chalamet stands in all of this — but this may be closer than expected.

If you need some help deciding, check out the galleries … there’s no shortage of hot shots and sexy snaps of both Kylie and Emily.
