Awards season officially culminates with the Oscars, where the red carpet is as closely watched as the ceremony itself. Actually, scratch that—it’s the main event.
At the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, this year’s carpet featured a mix of classic glamour and contemporary styling. Chanel had a particularly strong showing on Nicole Kidman, Jessie Buckley, Pedro Pascal, Paul Mescal, Gracie Abrams, and Teyana Taylor, while Emma Stone arrived in Louis Vuitton and Demi Moore chose Gucci. Timothée Chalamet stepped out in all-white Givenchy and Priyanka Chopra wore Dior (is an ambassador announcement incoming?). Hudson Williams, meanwhile, stepped out in Balenciaga tailoring with Bvlgari jewellery, making several very strategic wrist-forward poses to ensure his Serpenti watch caught the cameras. Don’t worry, Hudson—we clocked it. And Isha Ambani brought a dose of vintage glamour to the carpet in Valentino, proving that when everyone else goes new-season couture, archival still wins the fashion crowd.
From vintage moments to modern silhouettes, the 2026 Oscars red carpet offered plenty of standout fashion. Below, the best looks from the red carpet:
