The Oscars 2026, held last night in Los Angeles, delivered exactly what the Academy Awards red carpet is known for: couture spectacle, refined elegance and a handful of bold fashion risks.
From shimmering metallic gowns to dramatic feathered silhouettes and soft romantic chiffon, this year’s arrivals showcased a mix of timeless Hollywood glamour and contemporary design. Designers including Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Dior and Chanel dominated the carpet, while some of the industry’s most celebrated jewellery houses added the finishing touches.
Here are some of the standout looks from the night.
Emma Stone
Emma Stone embraced classic Oscar glamour in a silver full-length cap-sleeve gown by Louis Vuitton, covered in shimmering embellishment that caught the lights of the red carpet beautifully. The clean silhouette allowed the texture of the dress to take centre stage. She completed the look with jewellery from Repossi, adding modern sparkle to an already radiant ensemble.
Demi Moore
Demi Moore delivered one of the evening’s most dramatic statements in a structured black iridescent feather gown by Gucci. The sculptural design featured a striking feathered bust that added theatrical flair while maintaining elegant structure. She paired the gown with jewellery from Boucheron, reinforcing the look’s high-fashion edge.
Mia Goth
Mia Goth opted for something softer and more romantic. Her floaty floral chiffon gown by Dior featured delicate fabric movement and a front split that added subtle drama. The design balanced femininity with modern tailoring, creating one of the evening’s most graceful red carpet appearances.
Vicky Krieps
Understated elegance defined Vicky Krieps’ look. She wore a textured black backless gown by Bottega Veneta, demonstrating the power of minimal design. The silhouette was clean and refined, while jewellery from Messika added a quiet touch of sparkle without overwhelming the look.
Chase Infiniti
One of the more playful moments on the carpet came from Chase Infiniti, who wore a lilac halter-neck gown by Louis Vuitton. The full-length design featured dramatic ruffle detailing along the side, bringing movement and colour to the red carpet. De Beers jewellery completed the ensemble with subtle brilliance.
Jessie Buckley
Jessie Buckley delivered classic red carpet elegance in a red and pink Bardot-neck gown by Chanel. The off-the-shoulder silhouette gave the look a timeless feel, while the bold colour combination brought a fresh modern twist.
A Night of Fashion and Film
The Oscars remain one of the most influential nights in fashion, where designers, stylists and jewellery houses collaborate to create looks that often define the style conversation for months afterward.
This year’s red carpet proved that while trends may evolve, the essence of Oscar fashion remains the same: craftsmanship, confidence and a touch of cinematic drama.
