Though we’d happily enjoy a star-studded red carpet every Sunday night, unfortunately, award season comes to a close this evening with the 2026 Academy Awards, the finish line of a long and very stylish run of shows that started all the way back in November. It’s bittersweet, which is why we want to savor every second of it, paying especially close attention to the looks that tonight’s attendees and their stylists spent hours upon hours putting together. Every last earring and hand-sewn embellishment deserves its moment, and we’re happy to give them just that.

Of all the award shows each season, the Oscars are always the mecca when it comes to fashion. Think back to some of the greatest looks of all time, like Nicole Kidman’s chartreuse Dior Haute Couture dress by John Galliano in 1997, Lupita Nyong’o’s aquamarine Prada gown in 2014, and Emma Stone’s gold, fringed Givenchy dress designed by Riccardo Tisci. Of course, we’ll forget Gwyneth Paltrow’s iconic baby-pink Ralph Lauren number that she wore in 1999, the year she won Best Actress for her role in Shakespeare in Love. Who knows? Maybe tonight we’ll witness the next “great” to be added to this list.

Keep scrolling to discover the best looks unveiled on the 2026 Academy Awards red carpet. If the stylish pre-parties told us anything, it’s that tonight’s attendees will be dressed to the nines.
