A.M.P.A.S.
The most unlikely style icon of the 2007 Oscars was host Ellen DeGeneres in her trademark casual pants.

Ellen DeGeneres turned down donning a dress for high fashion magazine W, so it's no surprise she felt more comfy in Gucci suits before the world's beautiful people. And you know what? It worked.
