Adam Sandler’s fashion sense, or lack thereof, gained even more attention at the Oscars on Sunday when host Conan O’Brien humorously commented on his casual attire during a skit. O’Brien, hosting his first Oscars, addressed the audience, stating, “For such a prestigious evening, it is crucial that everyone is dressed appropriately.” “Adam,” he pointedly said, as the camera focused on the “Uncut Gems” star, who was seated in the audience wearing his signature colorful hoodie, long gym shorts, socks, and sneakers. “What exactly are you wearing?” Sandler initially feigned ignorance before appearing to grow increasingly irritated as O’Brien teased him, remarking, “You look like someone playing video poker at 2 a.m.” Sandler retorted, “I like my style. Because I’m a good person; I don’t concern myself with what I wear or don’t wear. Does my stylish gym shorts and comfortable sweatshirt offend you so deeply that you felt compelled to mock me in front of my peers?” Eventually, he rose to leave, inviting the audience to join him later for a game of “five-on-five basketball.” Finally, spotting Best Actor nominee Timothée Chalamet, he exclaimed, “Chalamet!” and embraced the “A Complete Unknown” star. Mission accomplished, with audience applause secured, Sandler ran out the back of the theater with his arms raised, as O’Brien waved him off from the stage. The moment quickly went viral on social media, garnering millions of views on X and YouTube. Sandler’s quirky dad-style clothing has made him an unexpected fashion icon and earned him a devoted Gen Z following, with many users documenting their favorite examples of his outfits on TikTok.
