Fans' reaction to Rickey Thompson's Oscar 2022 look

Fans were quick to point out that the outfit worn by Rickey wasn't good because of the jewels being poorly placed and added upon the outfit. They thought the "bedazzled" look was giving them a "hot glue gun" vibe and didn't serve as an Oscar-worthy outfit.

According to a few fans, the execution of the dress wasn't done properly, despite the outfit's concept being good. A few fans were ruthless with Rickey Thompson's Oscars' look and tweeted about their views.
