Reporting from The Daily News. Now, I'm Corey with the latest entertainment headlines.
Shark Tank star Kevin O'Leary made waves on the Academy Awards red carpet with his over-the-top outfit.
The investor and Marty Supreme actor wore a silver accent and robe paired with a flashy necklace, holding valuable NBA cards.
It caught the eye filmmaker Jafar Panahi, whose blank stare in a viral video summed up the mixed reactions.
This was not O'Leary's first bold accessory choice.
Just weeks earlier at the actor awards, he flashed a similar necklace containing his $19.5 million card collection.
Social media lit up with mockery of the look.
Viewers called it clownish and said they all felt like Panahi in that moment, staring in disbelief at the spectacle.
Panahi, an acclaimed Iranian director behind films like it was just an accident, faces tough times back home.
His government recently sentenced him to one year in prison over claims of propaganda.
O'Leary had kind words for Panahi at the event,
betting $1,000 on his win despite the controversy.
Singer Josh Grope and echoed the night's theme,
stressing how arts unite us amid division.
