Accompanying her ensemble were opera gloves and a gold timepiece, adding a touch of sophistication. However, it wasn’t her attire that stole the spotlight; it was Moreno’s striking new hairstyle.
Renowned for her gray pixie cut, the EGOT winner surprised everyone with a jet black look at this year’s Oscars.

Despite resembling the iconic style of the 80 for Brady actress, Moreno clarified on the red carpet that it was a temporary change, intended as a tribute to the late actress Chita Rivera, whom she cherished dearly.
“I’m simply enjoying experimenting with this wig,” Moreno remarked, embracing the opportunity to pay homage to a significant figure in her life.
