Anticipation continues to build for Christopher Nolan's upcoming film The Odyssey, a thrilling adaptation of Homer's legendary Greek epic. Notably, this project marks the first feature film shot completely using IMAX film cameras. Also, the mastermind behind acclaimed hits like Oppenheimer, Inception, and Interstellar has assembled a star-studded cast for it, including Lupita Nyong'o, Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, and Charlize Theron.

Among the talented group, Nyong'o is drawing significant attention for her challenging task of portraying Helen of Troy and her sister Clytemnestra. Nyong'o told the press that Nolan wrote these parts specifically with her in mind—an unusual approach for the director. While she views that as an immense honor in her already-celebrated career, she revealed in an accompanying interview with Who What Wear that she attributes this massive opportunity to her performance in 12 Years a Slave.

The 2013 biographical historical drama, adapted from Solomon Northup's 1853 memoir, served as Nyong'o's feature-film debut and definitive breakout role. Her powerful portrayal of Patsey, a resilient enslaved woman on a Louisiana cotton plantation, earned her the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress—a rare triumph for a debut performance.

Reflecting on her career, Nyong'o expressed shock and gratitude at how things have unfolded. "It's unbelievable that it happened that way, but I'm so glad it did because it happened before I had a chance to want it, and now, I get to be grateful for the rest of my life," she noted. For her, the Oscar win was more than just a trophy; it laid the groundwork for future opportunities. "I would not be in a Chris Nolan film were it not for that," she admitted while also acknowledging she couldn't foresee how to follow an Academy Award debut. Ultimately, that foundational role paved the way for her presence in The Odyssey, one of the most highly anticipated films of the year, scheduled to hit theaters on July 17.

Live from Los Angeles: I attended the 98th Academy Awards! As part of Etalk’s Oscars coverage, I reported from the red carpet alongside Tyrone Edwards and Lainey Lui. And let me tell you this was like no other assignment I’ve had before. The carpet was the longest of the season, taking up multiple lanes down Hollywood Boulevard, tracking all the way inside the Dolby Theatre. Our coverage lasted for a whopping three and a half hours. And the scene was filled with the world’s biggest stars, from Michael B. Jordan to Zendaya.

Etalk’s camera angles captured several memorable moments—thanks to Lainey’s infamously sharp eye for gossip—like Timothée Chalamet avoiding Steven Spielberg and celebs like Brandi Carlile and Elle Fanning shooting tequila. Tyrone was able to speak to stars like Best Supporting Actress winner Amy Madigan, who confirmed to Etalk that Warner Brothers is behind a Weapons prequel. And my job? Fashion expertise, of course.

It didn’t take long for me to spot the trends of the evening: glitter, feathers, chokers, brooches, and red lipstick. Here, the best examples.

Bold Glitter

Whether it was sequins or, more unexpectedly, beading, sparkle was the name of the game at this year’s Oscars. And there was a version for everyone, from sexy to classic to cool. We saw stars like Wunmi Mosaku go for bold gem-tone sequins in Louis Vuitton, Kate Hudson in head-to-toe seafoam paillettes by Armani Privé, and Audrey Nuna in gilded beading paired with a ball-gown skirt from Thom Browne.

Feathers

One of fashion month’s top trends was feathers—cut to Schiaparelli couture, Chanel fall 2026, etcetera, etcetera. It was exiting to see that theme hit the red carpet a matter of days after Paris Fashion Week wrapped. Chanel took the front position here with Teyana Taylor in a tiered ostrich-feather skirt with a matching black-and-white handbag and Nicole Kidman in a feather-accented peplum number. Demi Moore wore a more birdlike custom gown by Gucci.

Choker Necklaces

I’m not exaggerating when I say that almost every single woman had a statement choker on. Below are my favorites, including Anne Hathaway in Bulgari (and Valentino), Chase Infiniti in De Beers (and Louis Vuitton), and Jessie Buckley in Chanel. But we also saw them on Zoe Saldaña, Mikey Madison, Kristen Wiig, Alicia Silverstone, Ava DuVernay, Elle Fanning, Priyanka Chopra, Anna Wintour—the list goes on.

Beautiful Brooches

For those who wore menswear, it was all about the brooch. My favorite of the evening was Pedro Pascal in an unexpectedly large white floral pin made from feathers against a crisp white shirt. More classically, Hudson Williams wore a small diamond brooch on the lapel of this all-black three-piece Balenciaga 'fit. And if you looked super closely, you could see the tiniest gold adornment on the center of Miles Caton’s brown monochrome Amiri ensemble.

The Standout Beauty Look: Red Lip + Slicked Bun

If there was one standout beauty trend, it was easily red lips and slick hair. (For the men: mustaches and bow ties.) Renate Reinsve, Rose Byrne, Li Jun Li, and Jessie Buckley all rocked this look. At the Vanity Fair after-party, model Precious Lee followed suit.

My fellow editors and I watched the 98th Academy Awards with bated breath, absorbing every last fashion and beauty detail with expert eyes. But every fashionphile knows that the best looks are pulled at the after-party, and the star-studded Vanity Fair affair played host to some of our favorite beauty looks of the night. While we layfolk often use celebs as references for special-occasion glam, it seems the stars might do the same. Case in point, Iris Apatow’s fresh, natural spring after-party look—accented by a lush raspberry lip and ruffled dress that feels so Carolyn Bessette Kennedy coded.

You may be familiar with the budding actress’s famous family (her sister Maude Apatow is set to return to the hotly anticipated season three of HBO’s Euphoria in April) or her boyfriend-slash-star of The White Lotus’ third season, Sam Nivola. But Apatow was a scene-stealer at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party, where her soft, yet statement-making spring glam captured our attention—featuring a never-before-seen Tatcha lip product that I'm giving you a first look at.

Celebrity makeup artist Tami El Sombati worked with Apatow during the waning hours of the show to create her chic, spring-coded glam using Tatcha skincare and makeup products. The secret sauce? Tatcha’s newest addition to its growing lip collection, the Melting Lip Balm, in the soft raspberry shade Reddo.

Though Sombati said Apatow’s gown was the main driver behind the beauty direction (a Rodarte gown that reminds me so much of a Yohji Yamamoto suit Bessette Kennedy styled in 1999), she deferred to the young actress’s innate knack for beauty. “[Iris] is really in tune with beauty,” Sombati tells Who What Wear. “She wanted to do a bold lip, so we wanted the skin to look really radiant, fresh, and natural as the backdrop.” (Did we mention CBK was also quite fond of a soft red lip and a wispy bun, too?)

Sombati was laser-focused on skin and lip prep before touching Apatow’s face with makeup. “Skin prep is so essential for a red carpet glow that lasts for hours,” she explains. “When there’s a smooth, hydrated base, makeup not only applies better, but looks more seamless and natural,” the makeup artist adds. Her hero lineup included Tatcha’s Luminous Dewy Skin Mist, the Dewy Skin Cream (a WWW editor-favorite), the Kissu Lip Mask, and the just-announced Melting Lip Balm.

“Bold lip colours can be drying, so the Melting Lip Balm maintains a healthy, glossy look, and helps the lips look and feel softer and more moisturized,” Sombati explains. While she says that you can easily wear these chic lip tints alone, she swears by them as a topper over your favorite lip combo. “They can slightly adjust the tone of your lip shade, and they have a comfortable, glossy finish,” she elaborates.

Though you can’t yet shop the Melting Lip Balm until April 12 (the waitlist is now open!), you can still grab the rest of Apatow’s Oscars afterparty skin essentials below, plus some CBK-coded lipsticks and balms to tide you over.

Here at Who What Wear, we've been busy covering the very best Oscars red carpet looks from the 98th Academy Awards. From standout fashion to monochromatic makeup (yes, I'm talking about Chase Infiniti's lilac eyeshadow moment), you're probably all clued up on the biggest looks of the night, but have you ever found yourself wondering what perfume your favourite celebs might be wearing when they step onto the red carpet? Well, I think I've just figured it out.

If you tuned into the awards, you'll know that Jessie Buckley won Best Actress for her role as Agnes Shakespeare in Hamnet. Her custom Chanel dress and bold red lip certainly stole the show, but her hairstylist, Bryce Scarlett, actually shared an insight into the luxury fragrance (or should we say, hair perfume) she wore on the night, and it just so happens to be every beauty editor's favourite scent.

On Instagram, Scarlett shared a snap of Jessie on the red carpet, next to a picture of the Initio Parfums Privés Musk Therapy Hair Mist, seemingly confirming that this was her go-to scent for the evening.

At £87, this expensive-smelling fragrance has been recommended to me by pretty much every editor I know, and since getting my hands on the scent, it's become a staple in my perfume collection. Although it's a hair mist, I like to spray it all over, but you can purchase the matching perfume if you prefer to layer your fragrance.

It opens with fresh notes of bergamot, mandarin and white magnolia, before a heart of white musk takes centre stage. I'd describe it as a skin-like scent, with a clean, soapy aroma. However, this fresh laundry appeal is elevated by notes of sandalwood and pink musk, resulting in a captivating, heady fragrance that certainly feels fitting for such a prestigious event.

It's the sort of perfume that whispers wealth and cocoons the senses like silk being draped across your shoulders. I can totally see why Buckley chose it for her winning night.

Last night, the stars were out in full to celebrate the 98th Academy Awards, and the Oscars red carpet was nothing short of spectacular. From show-stopping fashion looks to monochromatic makeup and gothic waves galore, there were many trends to note, but one makeup look in particular kept me up all night, desperate to share it with everyone I know.

As a makeup artist and beauty editor, I've written extensively about choosing the right eye shadow for your eye colour. Recently, I shared my favourite brown eye shadows for blue eyes, as they never fail to make them stand out. However, on last night's red carpet, Chase Infiniti wore an unexpected eye shadow colour that made her hazel eyes pop like never before.

Matching her makeup to her custom Louis Vuitton dress, the One Battle After Another actress wore lilac eye shadow as she stepped out on the red carpet, and there's no denying that this was the perfect colour to take her makeup look to the next level.

Paired with glowing skin and a simple glossy lip, the purple hue enhanced her features beautifully, and I think we can all agree that the colour complemented her hazel eyes in all the right ways.

The great thing about this look is that it's not that complicated, either. As you can see, Infiniti's makeup artist, Amber D (@amberdmakeup), focused on the inner corner of the eye (another trick to make your eye makeup pop), while also blending the purple shade all over the lid for a subtle wash of colour. She used a Louis Vuitton eye shadow for the look, from the brand's 450 Cosmic Dreams Eyeshadow Palette (£190).

Below, I've linked some more of my favourite lilac eye shadow shades to help you re-create the look, because let's face it: nothing says spring like a pop of purple. If you have hazel eyes, I recommend trying this makeup trick asap.

If the Oscars 2026 red carpet is the ultimate award-season showdown, the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party is where Hollywood lets its hair down. It's where fashion gets a little more daring. After months of red carpet glitz and glamour, tonight's attendees traded gowns built for the Dolby Theatre for looks designed to dance, mingle, and make a statement under the iconic after-party lights. Every sequined slip, tailored suit, and showstopping accessory deserves its moment in the spotlight, and we're here to give them just that.

Think of the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party as the night's style playground, where stars take risks and stylists get experimental. From unexpected color combinations to whimsical details and bold silhouettes, these are the after-party looks we'll be talking about long after the night is over. Scroll down to see outfits worn by Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, Chase Infiniti, Keke Palmer, and more.

If you're anything like me, you watched the Oscars red carpet like a hawk, waiting for Zendaya to arrive, only to be sorely disappointed that she was a no-show. Over three hours into the ceremony, however, Zendaya surprised everyone and strolled onto the stage to present Paul Thomas Anderson with the top directing award.

Accompanied by Robert Pattinson, her costar in The Drama, Zendaya wore a striking brown one-shouldered custom Louis Vuitton dress. It was a more low-key look than we're used to seeing on the fashion star, but it made total sense considering she was there as a presenter, not a nominee. Elegant and classic, the draped dress immediately shot to the top of my best dressed list. (Elle Fanning and Kylie Jenner also made my personal best-of roundup.) Oh, and did you notice Zendaya's diamond Rolex watch?

Zendaya finished her look with Prada Beauty makeup. “To complement Zendaya’s earth toned dress, I played up her features and complexion using smoldering browns and warm caramels,” her makeup artist Ernesto Casillas said in a statement.

Scroll down to see what Zendaya wore onstage at the 2026 Academy Awards after skipping the red carpet.

When it comes to award-show glamour, I drink up every detail of the looks that make our best dressed lists. Though every event plays host to a showstopping assortment of red carpet ensembles, from the stunning gowns to the trendsetting hairstyles, the stars save their best for the Oscars, and the 2026 show is shaping up to have some of the best beauty looks I've seen in a minute.

Don't get me wrong. I love a classic updo and perfectly manicured hands. However, the one thing that sets my soul on fire is red carpet makeup—so much so that I asked my fellow beauty editors to fan-cast our favorite nominees' makeup looks for the evening. The one thing we didn't see coming was the monochrome-makeup trend that suddenly yet swiftly took center stage, and I'm simply itching to re-create these looks myself. Below, see the matchy-matchy lip and eye moments from Jessie Buckley, Emma Stone, Renate Reinsve, and more that played oh so perfectly with their Oscar-worthy gowns.

Not to toot my own horn, but I did predict Buckley's red-lip look. The Best Actress nominee matched her scarlet lips to her two-toned Chanel gown, making this look an instant classic. I theorize that the vermillion accents could be a sweet nod to her character Agnes Shakespeare's signature red frock, but that's just me.

Wunmi Mosaku's deep-sea turquoise gown caught my eye immediately, but her shimmering shadow made me stay. The Sinners star matched her sparkling custom Louis Vuitton gown with a pop of reflective teal eye shadow on the inner corners of her eyes, which happens to be one of 2026's top red carpet trends, according to our senior beauty editor Jamie Schneider's robust reporting. If you want to replicate her exact look, pick up Louis Vuitton's La Beauté LV Ombres Eyeshadow Palette in Beige Memento and Force of Nature.

According to Chase Infiniti's makeup artist, Amber Dreadon, the actress's custom Louis Vuitton dress was the ultimate source of inspiration. Dreadon describes the look as "whimsical, light, and effortlessly youthful," according to a press release, and kept skin and subtle pops of color at the center. She used the LV Ombres Eyeshadow Palette in Cosmic Dreams to craft Infiniti's soft lilac eye before accenting her pillowy pout with the LV Rouge Satin Lipstick in Kiss the Sky.

Do my eyes deceive me, or did Emma Stone match her shimmering, floor-sweeping Louis Vuitton gown with a frosted eye? According to a press release, the star's gown was hand-embroidered—which, by my logic, requires a makeup look with the same painstaking detail. The Bugonia star wears the LV Ombres Eyeshadow Palette in Beige Memento, which features an icy ivory shadow that I'd bet my next paycheck she slathered all over the eye.

Sinners' Li Jun Li has been taking the 2026 award season by storm with her extravagant red carpet looks, though I'm particularly entranced by her matching red moment tonight. Perhaps inspired by the fiery aesthetic of her heavily nominated film, the actress tied in her red Gaurav Gupta dress with cherry-colored glam, including bright-red lips and berry-hued blush.

Renate Reinsve has been dominating award season in the style category, but my eyes were on her red lip (and sculptural hip-high slit) tonight. Perfectly matching her custom Louis Vuitton gown is her matte LV lipstick in orange-red Vuittamine, which I'm adding to my cart as we speak.

The Oscars red carpet has long served as Hollywood's final and most influential fashion stop of the season. By the time celebrities arrive at the Academy Awards, the trends that have quietly been building across months of premieres and ceremonies tend to crystallize into something bigger. Color palettes, naked silhouettes, beauty looks, and statement jewelry often set the tone for the year ahead. This time around, though, one unexpected theme is emerging: bridal inspiration.

Actress and Who What Wear cover star Elle Fanning stepped onto the 2026 Oscars red carpet in a breathtaking strapless white gown designed by Sarah Burton for Givenchy. The ethereal look—complete with a sculpted bodice and soft, romantic draping—already felt like something out of a modern fairytale. Fanning, who is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Joachim Trier's Sentimental Value, revealed to Vogue that the gown's most meaningful detail was deeply personal.

See Elle Fanning's Oscars 2026 Red Carpet Look

Woven throughout the bodice and echoed in her Cartier jewelry was a delicate wisteria motif inspired by her childhood home. "Growing up, my childhood home had a wisteria trellis that bloomed in the spring," Fanning explained. "I remember thinking it was the most beautiful thing when the petals would fall and create a lilac cloud on the ground." Burton and the Givenchy team translated that memory into intricate embroidery, hand-stitching each tiny petal with silk threads in shades of blue, pink, silver, and lilac.

The romantic detail feels particularly timely. While brides have long gravitated toward lace, tulle, and crystals, a growing number of 2026 wedding looks are embracing floral motifs instead—stitched into veils, embroidered onto bodices, and worked into jewelry. Fanning leaned further into the theme with a vintage Cartier wisteria necklace from 1903, proving that sometimes the most memorable red carpet moments double as the ultimate bridal mood board.

Fanning's wisteria-detailed gown shows how a little personal touch can make a red carpet look feel magical and totally bridal.

It's officially entertainment's most important night. The Oscars red carpet—or the Academy Awards if you're fancy—plays host to some of the most awe-striking fashion and beauty moments of the year. Though the show celebrates the actors, cast, crew members, and many projects of 2025, the stars have arrived on the red carpet donning looks that feel reminiscent of a certain 2026 film that sent the internet into a frenzy: Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights, marked by Margot Robbie's cascading gothic waves.

Historically inspired romantic hairstyles have been sweeping red carpets ever since Robbie's rotation of stellar press tour looks kicked off in late January, but the trend seems to have had a lasting impression on the stars bedecking Hollywood's most revered event. Chase Infiniti and Odessa A'zion are some of the latest to float down the carpet in their stunning curly styles, and Auli’i Cravalho, Ariana Greenblatt, and more sported iterations of the moor-mussed waves. Keep scrolling to see all of the softly romantic looks serving gothic glamour at the 2026 Oscars.

Gothic-Wave Trend at the 2026 Oscars

A'zion's famous waves are out to play tonight, and we can't help but notice how seamlessly her naturally bouncy spirals mesh with this gothic trend. Worn loose and voluminous, her look demonstrates a curly take on this historically charged style.

Infiniti's looks—from head to toe—are always the talk of the town, and tonight is no different. The One Battle After Another star wears her sweeping tresses in goddess braids, showcasing how stunning natural hair looks with this trend. Celebrity hairstylist Coree Moreno created this sculpted braid look with a smattering of bendy waves using Bellami's Silk Seam Clip-Ins and the Arachne Smoothboost Brush for an extra touch of length and volume.

At this point, Cravalho's inky waves are basically synonymous with the Disney princess role that kick-started her career (Moana, if you live under a rock). However, the actress and singer pinned her trademark ebony waves up into a half-up, half-down style that feels very Bridgerton to us beauty editors.

Bella Thorne was the apple of our eye as walked down the carpet in a sheer black gown and moody Brontë waves. In a half-up, half-down style similar to Cravalho's, Thorne pulled out a few face-framing pieces and adorned her style with a black bow.

Greenblatt is yet another actress donning this romantic, cascading style. The Barbie alum looks extra chic in a vintage John Galliano off-the-shoulder dress, accented by her stunning, tousled waves—falling perfectly in line with the period-piece trend we've seen sweeping 2026's red carpets.

Kylie Jenner has had a busy few months, and tonight, she's bringing that momentum straight to the 2026 Oscars red carpet. The beauty mogul and budding actress (Gen Z is raving about her cameo in Charli XCX's mockumentary, The Moment) arrived at the 98th annual Academy Awards in a plunging red Schiaparelli gown that felt equal parts glamour and classic Hollywood drama, instantly making her one of the evening's most talked-about attendees before she even arrived at the Dolby Theatre.

For her Oscars 2026 look, Jenner chose to channel another Hollywood icon—the fictional Jessica Rabbit—in a plunging, shimmery red gown from French fashion maison Schiaparelli and approximately 200-carats worth of diamond jewelry from Lorraine Schwartz. The gown, a custom creation designed by Creative Director Daniel Roseberry, features a plunging neckline and a cool detail that makes the dress feel oh so 2026: a keyhole cutout below the bust.

While keyhole-cutout dresses have been trending on Hollywood red carpets since the '90s, Jenner's literal interpretation is silly and whimsical, something Roseberry has become known for.

See Kylie Jenner's Oscars 2026 Look

Jenner was styled by duo Mackenzie Grandquist and Alexandra Rose Grandquist. The Grandquists have lended their eye to Jenner's recent red carpet looks too—most notably the jaw-dropping hourglass look the 28-year-old wore while attending the Golden Globes 2026.

Jenner never shies away from a reason to turn a 'fit, but of course, there's another reason she's at the Academy Awards tonight: her boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, who is nominated for Best Actor. The pair have been making their way through award season side by side, stepping out together across the red carpet circuit following the whirlwind press tour for Marty Supreme.

With Chalamet's category still ahead and the night just getting started, Jenner's dramatic Schiaparelli moment has set the tone for what's shaping up to be another major night for the couple. If this Oscars 2026 red carpet look is any indication, award season's most stylish duo isn't slowing down anytime soon.

We've officially reached the ultimate award show of the season: the Academy Awards. Twenty twenty-six marks the 98th year of the awards, and its lineup is sure to be as highly discussed and hotly debated as years past. Movies such as Frankenstein, Hamnet, and Sinners are up for Best Picture. Meanwhile, celebrities such as Emma Stone, Jessie Buckley, Kate Hudson, Teyana Taylor, and Elle Fanning are nominated in the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress categories.

While we're not sure who will cinch the sought-after gold statuette, we like to give out our own awards for the best red carpet fashion and beauty looks. You know, the ones that took our breath away. Ahead, see every chic, sophisticated, and save-worthy beauty look of the night, and follow along as Who What Wear brings you the latest updates on the film industry's elite.

While it's incredibly common to see naked dresses at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party, it's much more rare to see a lot of skin (or the illusion of skin) at the Academy Awards itself. However, a few bold women have dared to bare all at the illustrious event over the years, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Cher, Halle Berry, Nicole Kidman, and others.

Cher, of course, is the godmother of the sheer trend. She walked so everyone else on this list could run. She infamously wore a revealing Bob Mackie creation to the 1988 Oscars, where she took home the Best Actress statue for Moonstruck. Scandalous, sheer, and headline-making, Cher's gown instantly made fashion history. In later years, brands like Gucci, Dior, Alexander McQueen, and Armani Privé have designed see-through dresses for winners, nominees, and presenters attending the Academy Awards. Ahead of this year's ceremony, which is on Sunday, March 15, 2026, let's take a walk down memory lane with the most memorable naked dresses that have ever walked the Oscars red carpet.

When it comes to award season, the Academy Awards—or the Oscars, for us layfolk—is the magnum opus. It’s the most important event for stars to get gussied up for in a year, apart from the Met Gala and Heidi Klum’s annual Halloween party. (The last one is my personal favorite.)

Though the Oscars promise an eve of spellbinding fashion, historical wins, and viral red carpet interviews, the thing we beauty editors most look forward to is the glam. From stunning eye shadow confections to trend-setting updos down to each delicately painted fingertip, the stars show up and out on this most revered night in entertainment. Propped up on our couches and fingers on the Getty “refresh” button, we drink up every last detail.

While we revel in the natural beauty crafted by makeup artists like Nina Park, hairstylists like Bryce Scarlett, and manicurists like Tom Bachik—all of whom will undoubtedly be booked and busy on Oscars night—everyone has their own hopes and dreams of what each star could look like when they float down that red carpet. Some people make games out of predicting their favorite nominee’s looks, while others make full social media pages dedicated to restyling their favorite celebrities. (I’m talking about you, @youbelonginthis.)

Though we love how these stars look at every event, angle, and turn, I asked our editors to play celebrity makeup artist and design their dream looks for their favorite Oscar nominees. Below, the shadows we’d use, lipsticks we’d paint, and visions we’d emulate on nominees Jessie Buckley, Emma Stone, Teyana Taylor, and more if we stepped into the skins of our favorite makeup artists.

Fan-Casting 5 Oscar Nominees’ Makeup Looks

Jessie Buckley’s English Rose Glamour

In my eyes, Park—current makeup artist to aflame Irish actress Buckley—can do no wrong. We’ve seen the best lead actress–nominated star in everything from berry lips to bare eyes and a striking red pout, but I, a sucker for themed glam, would love to see Buckley honor her character from Hamnet with her makeup look this Sunday. Though Buckley’s Agnes Shakespeare is barefaced for the entirety of the film, her burnished red dress is a constant throughout—a physical nod to her character’s story of passion, love, and anguish.

To emulate Agnes’s simplicity and signature color in a sophisticated way, I’d paint Buckley’s lips in a similar shade to her character’s dress: a deep, warm red lip, found in the form of Merit Beauty Signature Lipstick in Vermillion. Pulling from Agnes’s mousy brown hair, I’d keep the actress’s expressive eyes bare—save for a soft, smoky wash of brown eyeliner (Victoria Beckham Beauty’s Cocoa)—and a hint of brown Chanel mascara to subtly define her eyes for the camera. (Buckley is becoming quite the Chanel girl, after all.) As our Shakespearian leading lady spends most of her time engulfed in nature, I’d add the lightest touch of “sunburn” blush to her cheeks—Rhode’s Toasted Teddy terra-cotta shade comes to mind.

Teyana Taylor's Iced Chrome Eyes

"I hesitate to even attempt to mess with the perfection that is Teyana Taylor’s signature glam. That woman wears a bold wing and glossy lip like no other! I’m literally left gasping for air after every single red carpet appearance. That said, the star has played with pops of color here and there (burgundy and cobalt blue at the 2025 and 2022 Met Galas, respectively), and I would be absolutely dazzled to see a spring take for the Oscars—a purple-and-chrome moment, perhaps? Danessa Myricks’s violet eye paint and Makeup by Mario’s Master Crystal Reflector immediately come to mind, but regardless of whatever look she and makeup artist Yeika Glow decide to cook up, I know I’ll need at least three business days to recover." — Jamie Schneider, senior beauty editor

Emma Stone's Frosted Fig Glam

Bugonia is the latest Yorgos Lanthimos film to earn Stone a best-actress nomination, and I can't wait to see the look she pulls in both the beauty and fashion departments this Sunday. Though Stone's look varies from corporate chic to buzzed (and slicked in antihistamine cream) throughout this project, we're expecting full glamour from the decorated actress at the Oscars—and for this event, I'd love to see her trade her recent no-makeup makeup style for something a bit more vampy and modern, like a jammy lip and matte white eye.

Stone has attended (and won at) enough Academy Awards to have done the "classic" thing right—now, it's time for her to play up her silver-screen features in an editorial way. Accenting her wide orbs would be MAC Cosmetics' Matte Eye Shadow in Blanc Type, blended atop a pale, creamy base for the most striking pigmentation (the Pro Pot in Painterly comes to mind). I'd forgo mascara to keep the look chic, instead opting for the lightest of eyeliner flicks with a cool-toned, taupe pencil. For that juicy-fig pout, I'd swipe a generous layer of Westman Atelier's sheer, plum-tinted lipstick in the shade Onyx. Et voilà.

Elle Fanning's Dark Romance Moment

“I still think about Elle Fanning's 2024 Met Gala look at least once a week. Her high-shine complexion brought new meaning to 'glass skin,' and the subtle hints of champagne shimmer made her look ethereal, as if she were floating up the Met's iconic staircase. (Fun fact: Her glow came courtesy of L'Oréal's True Match Glumi Lotion.)

"If I switched bodies with her makeup artist, Erin Ayanian Monroe, à la Freaky Friday, I'd do another riff on it, albeit with a rich, velvety, burgundy lip. Blame it on Wuthering Heights, but I'm loving 'dark romance' makeup lately, and I think opaque, wine-colored lipstick would look striking against Fanning's bright eyes and blonde hair. Add a fluttery lash, and it would be a makeup look that I'd put in my personal hall of fame.” — Kaitlyn McLintock, beauty editor

Wunmi Mosaku's Fiery "Sinful" Smize

One thing about me is that I fall hard for a themed red carpet moment. Wunmi Mosaku’s Sinners is a red-hot tango of passion and fear, and I want her glam to interpret the intensity of this heavily nominated film with the elegance it deserves. Since the actress's skin is naturally glowy, I'd let her complexion do the talking and enhance the high points of her face with Westman Atelier's highlight stick for believable radiance before moving on to the eyes and lips.

Mosaku is known to love a wash of metallic color over her lids, so I'd follow suit for this supremely important event, coating them in a smoky, shimmering cloud of Victoria Beckham's Lid Lustre to make her eyes glow like smoldering embers (perfect for Sinners). Matching the film's aesthetic, I'd pair her dazzling lids with a deep red lipstick, such as Gucci's cranberry-scarlet shade Rosso Ancora. Perfectly Old Hollywood, with a touch of thematic glamour. I can't get enough.

Watch out, Freddie Freeman. Emma Stone has a world-class batting average at the Academy Awards. Of her four acting nominations, she's won twice: once for La La Land in 2017 and a second time for Poor Things in 2024. For comparison, Leonardo DiCaprio has been nominated eight times but has only won once.

I'm no movie critic, so I won't comment on whether I think she'll win Best Actress for Bugonia at the 2026 ceremony on Sunday, March 15, but I am definitely qualified to discuss her Oscars red carpet looks. In my mind, her Academy Awards style evolution can be divided into two parts: BLV and ALV (before Louis Vuitton and after Louis Vuitton). She signed a contract with the famed French house in October 2017, so 2018 was her first Oscars appearance as brand ambassador. Not coincidentally, that was the first year she threw us a fashion curveball—do you like all my baseball metaphors?—with cigarette pants and a belted blazer in lieu of a traditional red carpet gown.

She followed that up with a pair of unexpectedly sculptural LV dresses in 2019 and 2024, which were stark departures from the more conventional looks she wore earlier in her Oscars oeuvre. That said, she brought it full circle in 2025 with a sleek and sparkly nude LV gown reminiscent of her 2015 Elie Saab number and 2017 Givenchy frock.

What will she wear on the 2026 Oscars red carpet? Only time will tell! In the meantime, scroll down to revisit every single outfit she's worn to the Oscars since her first time attending in 2012.

2012

In 2012, Stone arrived at her first-ever Academy Awards wearing a red Giambattista Valli gown. The Help, in which Stone starred alongside Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer, received four Oscar nominations that year. Perhaps she was inspired by Nicole Kidman's red bow from the 2007 Oscars?

2015

Stone scored her first Oscar nomination in 2015 for her supporting role in Birdman. For the occasion, she wore a lime-green beaded dress by Elie Saab featuring a thigh-high slit and an open back.

2017

Third time's the charm. In 2017, Stone took home the Best Actress trophy for La La Land wearing a golden fringed Givenchy dress designed by Riccardo Tisci.

2018

After wearing traditional gowns to her first three Oscars appearances, she threw us for a loop in 2018 with this Louis Vuitton look, complete with skinny pants and a belted blazer. This was her first Academy Awards under her Louis Vuitton contract.

2019

By 2019, Stone's Oscars fashion message was clear: expect the unexpected. Nominated for Best Supporting Actress for The Favourite, Stone wore a sculptural, avant-garde Louis Vuitton dress with bold shoulders.

2024

Stone won Best Actress for Poor Things in 2024. Accepting her trophy, Stone infamously declared that the zipper on her peplum Louis Vuitton dress had broken.

2025

In 2025, Stone's Louis Vuitton red carpet dress harkened back to her earlier Oscars days in 2015 and 2017. Eschewing the architectural silhouettes of the previous few years, Stone opted for a sleek, simple, sparkly, champagne-colored gown with minimal jewelry.

I’ve gotten it down to a routine. The evening of every award show, I struggle to figure out what platform is streaming the red carpet, sign up for whatever 30-day trial is required, and watch with wide eyes as hordes of glittering celebrities slink down the red carpet, expertly posing to show off their recent runway acquirements or archival fashion pulls. From the gowns to the glam, there are a million details to drink up—though, the one that I always find myself fixated on (and plotting how to re-create myself) is the makeup.

We’ve all seen the heavy-blush trend blossom on and off the red carpet, middle parts sweep the scene, and so many more beauty trends start on the red carpet in award seasons past. Well, now that this one has officially come to a close with the 97th Academy Awards (Oscars, for the commoner), I took it upon myself to take a holistic look at the beauty Venn diagram of this year’s many red carpets, from film to music, to see which looks had the most crossover—and some of the most in-demand makeup artists from this season corroborated.

“I’ve noticed people leaning to a transparent approach to red carpet makeup—not so many heavy pigments and bold colors right now,” says celebrity makeup artist Rachel Goodwin. Responsible for Emma Stone’s gloriously glowing look at the Oscars and Sophie Thatcher’s retro-inspired glam, Goodwin looks to the stars as the ultimate trendsetters versus letting herself be influenced by outside ideals—though, these are the looks that set the course for the seasons to come.

“I always tailor each makeup to the personality and unique style of whoever I’m working with to bring out the version of them that feels the most authentically them," she adds. "Whenever I can do that, I feel proud.” Below, the three makeup trends that booked and busy MUAs were repeatedly asked for this glitzy award season.

Glowy Skin

From “glass skin” to slugging, it’s no secret that celebrities will try anything to achieve glowing skin—especially on the carpet. According to the pros, it all starts with skincare and facial sculpting.

“Hydrated skin is the key to any successful makeup in my opinion, but too much product and foundation slides right off,” explains Goodwin. “It’s about striking the right balance.” The artist says skincare prep is where most of her efforts go because “glowing skin is always in,” no matter the look.

To perfect her clients’ canvases, Goodwin has a no-fail routine. “I start by spraying IS Clinical Copper Firming Mist and IS Clinical Pro-Heal Serum Advance+, then trace a NuFace along the jawline and under-eye area,” she explains. Goodwin then gets to work on the eyes first, keeping eye masks (her favorites from Bioeffect) on until it’s time to move on to complexion.

Whether this means a sun-kissed bronze, a light-reflecting blush, or a dewy visage, celebs keep the glow going far beyond serums and masks. “My most requested makeup look has been a radiant, glowing complexion with fresh peachy-pink tones on the cheeks,” says Rokael Lizama, who has a client list boasting Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian. The trick is to use a luminous foundation to start things with a shine, and Lizama creates this angelic effect with Dior Forever Skin Perfect Multi-Use Foundation Stick. “It creates a radiant, even, dewy complexion,” he says.

But the radiance doesn’t stop there—he often finished off each look by accentuating the high points of the face and décolleté with a blendable highlighter, such as this rosy Glow Maximizer from Dior.

MUA Tip

“Always apply complexion products in very thin layers and build as needed to create the most flawless, long-lasting base,” advises Lizama. “Lightweight and often gel-based moisturizers help prolong the wear of my client’s makeup and give a poreless look to the complexion.”

Old Hollywood Rouge

We’ve been in blush zeitgeist for a few years now, and this award season confirmed that this trend is nowhere near slowing down. Sabrina Carpenter’s makeup artist, Carolina Gonzalez, led the charge with “Old Hollywood” lips and cheeks decorating the star’s many red carpet appearances, embracing a minimal eye with a rich lip. Several of Gonzalez’s clients this season wanted the “romantic” look of skin-forward glam with high-intensity blush. Though, she added that “full lips and fluffy lashes are still a thing.”

But while blush swept the scene for yet another award season, Gonzalez sees the color wheel tipping into deeper territory than the pastel pinks that may pop into your head. The makeup artist foresees “burgundies, deep browns, [and] deeper reds” painting the lips and cheeks of the fashion-forward in the months to come, no matter how unseasonal that might sound, because of these shades’ classic natures.

Chelsea agrees, especially as the weather becomes more mild. “With spring coming up, my clients have been loving a good blush moment. It brings youthfulness to the skin,” she explains. While the artist also agrees that bold lip colors will never leave the awards look book, stars seem to be taking a less polished approach to application. “Red lips will always be perfect for a red carpet, but I think a smudged overlined lip color has been pretty popular as well,” Chelsea adds. A bitten-lip moment, perhaps?

Cashmere Eyes

Silky, subtle—the elegant eyes we’ve seen on the red carpets this year feel like the older, fancier sisters of natural glam. Instead of leaning on dark eye shadows for statement eyes, Hollywood’s most in-demand artists have been approaching A-list eyes with a lighter touch—a smoky eye with shading as soft as cashmere.

“My clients love a sultry smoke on the outer corner and a bit of sparkle in the inner part of the lid,” muses Lizama, adding a “gorgeous pop” in photographs. With a dusting of taupe smoke along Demi Moore’s lids at the SAG Awards and a golden version completing Beyoncé’s ethereal glam at the Grammys, these silken kinds of smoky eyes were a constant for the makeup artist this season.

Chelsea created a similar champagne look for Olivia Munn's Vanity Fair Oscar Party glam, with a wash of golden shimmer sparkling atop her lids (courtesy of Armani Beauty). The main takeaways from this red carpet trend? A smoky eye doesn’t need to be dark to make a statement. Blend layers upon layers of lighter shades on top of one another to create a look that stands out without looking too harsh (and try some of the easy-to-blend palettes below for those layered cashmere eyes).

I love the glitz of award season—the jaw-dropping gowns, the bold beauty looks, the perfectly coiffed Old Hollywood waves.

But if I’m being honest, these grand fashion moments only hold my attention for so long. What always leaves a lasting impression? The shoes. A shoe person through and through, I treat A-list events as a crystal ball for the next big footwear trends, and this year’s Oscars red carpet didn’t disappoint. Amid the usual parade of glossy leather heels, a softer, more unexpected style quietly stole the show—a trend so compelling that I also spotted it making waves on the streets of Italy throughout the past few days of Milan Fashion Week..

Rather than the metallic leather pairs we usually see, celebrities gravitated towards something altogether more delicate: satin shoes. Subtly shimmering and effortlessly elegant, this refined shoe trend quietly enhanced the evening's best outfits.

Take Kaia Gerber, who wore a pair of Manolo Blahnik satin court shoes in a pearlescent white, complementing the ethereal layers of her flowing maxi dress without distracting from its beautiful intricacies.

Once reserved almost exclusively for brides, satin heels have been making a slow and steady return to the mainstream, no longer confined to shades of ivory and cream. Case in point: Natasha Bryant also opted for a pair of Manolo Blahnik heels, yet this time in black. She styled hers with an all-black ensemble for a striking silhouette without the starkness of glossy or patent leather.

Meanwhile, Emma Stone and Felicity Jones leaned into the trend with barely-there beige and champagne-hued pairs, their shoes blending seamlessly into the sweeping hems of their gowns.

Elsewhere in Europe, the very same shoe trend has been making waves amongst the Milanese style set. Stepping out for fashion week events, this elegant shoe emerged as one of the few silhouettes favoured across the board.

With backing from both the Oscars and Milan Fashion Week, it’s clear this shoe trend is far from a fleeting moment. Read on to discover the style that has Hollywood and the fashion set in agreement—does praise come higher than that?

ICYMI, Selena Gomez wore a spectacular custom Ralph Lauren dress to the 2025 Oscars, a look that was embellished with over 16,000 glass droplets and hand-sewn Rosemont crystals. As if that weren't enough sparkle, the Emilia Pérez star accessorized with diamond earrings, rings, and a stunning choker necklace. She is, quite literally, dripping in jewels—and it's clear her longtime manicurist Tom Bachik took note. Scroll ahead for all the details on Gomez's luxe "peach champagne" mani. Do we smell a spring nail trend on the horizon?

"Peach champagne" is exactly how it sounds—a soft, warm pink with a slight shimmer. The hue beautifully complements the blush tones in Gomez's gown, and it's the perfect choice for those craving a pop of color while still maintaining the elegance of a nude. In fact, some might call peach an "almost neutral" polish thanks to its versatility.

Bachik started with a thin coat of CND's Shellac polish in Rule Breaker—a soft coral—before layering on Silk Thread, a taupe shade with a kiss of pink shimmer. The result? "A peachy-pink golden iridescent sparkle to play off the gems and texture in her Ralph Lauren gown," Bachik says in a press release. Both shades come from CND's Quiet Luxury Spring 2025 Collection, which is very fitting given Gomez's expensive-looking tips. I'd say they look just as rich as her shimmering crystal gown—but hey, that's probably my beauty-editor bias.

More Peach Polishes We Love

Lily-Rose Depp is the queen of retro curls. One peek at her Nosferatu press tour looks is essentially a lesson in Old Hollywood glam. For the Oscars, celebrity hairstylist Bryce Scarlett wanted to maintain the same elegant tone with an even stronger emphasis on the 1940s.

"Lily-Rose's hair look was inspired by classic Hollywood icons Veronica Lake and Lauren Bacall," Scarlett says exclusively to Who What Wear. "Veronica's soft, voluminous waves with a deep side part brought a sultry, mysterious vibe, while Lauren's sleek, polished waves conveyed confidence and elegance. Combining both styles, Lily-Rose's look blends timeless glamour with modern, effortless cool—capturing the best of '40s cinema while staying fresh and youthful." I'd say she absolutely nailed the balance. (The grungy liner and nude lip combo certainly helps!)

While these side-parted curls have quickly become Depp's signature, Scarlett says we'll see several iterations in the weeks to come. "This classic style is making a strong comeback, offering a sleek, polished look with a touch of retro glamour," he tells us. "Expect to see more variations of the side part—whether it's paired with soft waves, sleek straight styles, or even more structured, voluminous looks—adding versatility and sophistication to any spring hairstyle."

Curious how to create this look on your own? Scroll ahead for the complete breakdown—which features products $15 and under—and don't forget to tuck just one side behind your ear. "It was important to have the wave covering a part of her face," Scarlett says regarding Depp's look. "It adds a bit of mystery and romance."

How to Re-Create Depp's "Hollywood Icon" Curls

Oscar Sunday is a night of Hollywood royalty—of course A-listers would have regal hairstyles to match. As the night heats up, we've noticed more than a few sensational beauty looks on our favorite celebs (Lisa! Cynthia! Selena!), but one elegant (and surprisingly very practical) hair trend has been reigning the red carpet: tiara buns.

What is a tiara bun, you ask? Coined by hairstylist Tom Smith, the style simply refers to a bun that sits on the crown of your head, just like Ariana Grande's above. "Therefore [it] lifts the face [and] gives that slightly regal and elegant look to the wearer," Smith notes on Instagram. You can play around with the positioning a bit, but generally, it's placed higher than your average slicked-back bun.

He calls the trend practical yet glamorous, as it's a low-lift style that makes you look instantly sophisticated. "You can make it [as] sleek and polished as you prefer," he adds. "Just make sure the positioning is high on your head to get that lifted look." And rest assured it's very easy to achieve—arguably the most uncomplicated Oscars look to try at home. Take a look at the stunning celeb inspiration below, plus the best products to achieve your own royal-esque bun.

Want to add even more elegance to your tiara bun? Add dainty pearl accessories à la Lupita Nyong'o.

Opt for whatever hair part you like: side, middle (like Mikey Madison here), or none at all.

Elle Fanning paired her Givenchy Couture dress (which is giving us major wedding vibes) with the prettiest high bun.

Well, folks, we’ve made it to the pinnacle of award season. It all started with the Golden Globes, followed by the Grammys, the SAG Awards, and now, the Oscars. That's right—tonight, the 97th annual Academy Awards take place in Los Angeles.

Films like Wicked, Emilia Pérez, and A Complete Unknown have been nominated, as have celebrities like Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Mikey Madison, Zoe Saldaña, and Demi Moore. So, yeah, we knew the red carpet would be full of sensational beauty looks, but we didn't know just how sensational.

Ariana Grande gave her Wicked character, Glinda, a run for her money with fluttery eyelashes and petal-pink eyes, lips, and cheeks. Yep, it's official. She won our award for the "most magical" red carpet makeup look.

Cynthia Erivo's maximalist manicure is everything, but don't let that distract you from her glowing complexion and her thick, winged eyeliner. Gorgeous.

Demi Moore's long, black hair cascaded down her back in loose waves. Add petal-pink lips and a bold inner-corner highlight, and you have a winning look.

Mindy Kaling makes the case for abandoning so-called "clean-girl makeup" for something bolder and more glamorous. Her silver eyes and glossy lips are so good.

Zoe Saldaña's red carpet beauty equation involves glossy lips and loose waves.

H.E.R. embodies the TikTok-viral "cloud-skin" trend; her complexion has a lit-from-within, velvety matte finish. That, paired with her shine-free lipstick, is making the case for matte makeup products.

Black-cherry lipstick is trending, but Lupita Nyong'o's raspberry lip color has us contemplating a switch-up. It looks so sophisticated, especially with a shiny finish. And those pearl hair accessories? So good.

We can all agree that cobalt blue is Michelle Yeoh's color, right? We can also all agree that her hair and makeup are utterly timeless.

Get the Red Carpet Look

One of the most highly anticipated nights on the red carpet has arrived with the 2025 Academy Awards. Throughout the award show season, there has been buzz about which films will take home the Oscars, with top contenders including The Brutalist and Anora. We are equally invested in the films as we are the fashion on the red carpet, and it has already been a strong season. Selena Gomez has been one of the breakout red carpet stars of the season, styled by Erin Walsh in elegant Old Hollywood looks from Celine and Prada.

The 97th annual Academy Awards are being presented at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, and a long list of A-listers are set to attend.

This year's Academy Museum Gala was overflowing with makeup inspiration, so it's only fair we share the beauty look we haven't gotten over since it first glided onto the red carpet on actress and model Kaia Gerber. For a while, we wondered what it was about Gerber's effortlessly elegant look that felt so familiar, and then it hit us—the F/W 97 Givenchy dress recalled Audrey Hepburn's iconic appearance as Natasha in King Vidor's film adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace, penned in 1869.

However, there was also something dark and alluring about the makeup look—what Gerber herself referred to as "gothic Hollywood glam" via Instagram. The celebrity makeup artist behind the creation, Nina Park, used products by Addiction Tokyo to bring the beauty vision to life. “For Kaia Gerber at the Academy Gala, I wanted the makeup to elegantly modernize her Regency-inspired Givenchy dress. I focused on a glowing palette with blush hues to enhance her features, highlighting her natural radiance and bringing her inner light to the forefront," she explained.

Keep reading for a breakdown of the modern take on Regency makeup (with a touch of classic Hollywood) worn by Gerber at the start-studded event.

Like many fashion people, when she has to get all dressed up, Sofia Richie Grainge has a tendency to pick black looks. She wore a floor-length black dress and coat, for example, to Khaite's New York Fashion Week show in February. Earlier that month, when she attended the Grammys alongside her husband, Elliot Grainge, she wore black yet again in the form of a slightly sheer, high-neck gown by Saint Laurent. Last year's Baby2Baby gala, Prada Beauty's Brooklyn launch party, and her Vogue pregnancy announcement all too saw the new mom wear fashion's favorite neutral.

Tonight's fourth annual Academy Museum Gala, however, told a different story. For the event, Richie Grainge ditched her usual color choice for something far more daring and out of the ordinary for her: a bright-red silk dress from Fendi's S/S 24 collection. With the high-neck, loose-fitting gown, she carried a black clutch purse and wore black open-toe mules and Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany ear clips and rings. She wore her hair in her signature slicked-back bun.

Richie Grainge's sister, Nicole Richie, was also in attendance at tonight's gala and likewise opted to wear a statement color for the occasion. Richie, who's currently filming the reboot of her and Paris Hilton's cult-classic reality TV show The Simple Life, chose a butter-yellow, low-cut gown by Rochas from the brand's resort '25 collection.

It's well documented that celebrities love dressing to a theme and last night's Oscars were a testament to that, as there seemed to be a common thread sewn into some of the best dresses of the evening.

For the 96th Academy Awards, actors pulled out all the stops having spent hours getting ready with their glam teams ahead of making their entrance on the red carpet. Our Editor in Chief, Hannah Almassi, analysed the looks on offer and proclaimed the 2024 Oscars to be one of the strongest in terms of fashion in recent years—and I have to agree with her! It was only when I had a moment to look back at the outfits that I've been madly writing about for the past few hours that I realised so many them leaned into one very particular aesthetic—mermaidcore.

From Emma Stone's Custom Louis Vuittion shell peplum gown to Lupita Nyong'o's lilac sequin number, so many stars looked like modern couture mermaids in their breathtaking gowns. While it might be a coincidence—A-list stylists keep their client's Oscars outfits under lock and key until the moment comes to actually put them on—looking at them, you'd be forgiven for thinking the below celebs pre-planned their outfits in some sort of elite Oscars 2024 WhatsApp group.

Scroll on to see the mermaid dress trend that dominated the Oscars 2024.

Anya Taylor-Joy wears Dior Haute Couture and Jimmy Choo.

America Ferrera wears a Versace chainmail dress.

Emily Blunt wears a Schiaparelli gown.

Emma Stone wears custom Louis Vuitton.

Lupita Nyong’o wears custom Armani Privé.

Hailee Steinfeld wears Elie Saab Haute Couture.

As a fashion editor, the Oscars is one of my favourite nights of the year. It's a rare occasion to see so many show-stopping outfits on display in one place, and the incredible fashion coupled with the real-time history-making equals a fanciful and inspiring night that I look forward to every year.

Whilst the elaborate haute couture and archive garments inspire the fashion-lover in me, I'm always on the lookout for key trends and silhouettes that I can try myself, and there were some major examples on the red carpet last night. I've scouted three wearable yet striking spring fashion trends that were worn by some of my favourite A-listers and will no doubt ripple into our wardrobes soon enough.

Read on to discover the Oscars 2024 red carpet trends we'll be wearing very soon.

3 TRENDS FROM THE OSCARS THAT WILL ACTUALLY IMPACT YOUR WARDROBE

1. PEPLUM SILHOUETTES

Style Notes: The peplum silhouette has had a makeover for 2024, and celebrities (including Oscar-winner Emma Stone) are here for it. Composed of structured fabrics, these elevated designs add a sculptural element to a garment that makes it perfect for red carpet dressing. This season, the trend is set to transcend the red carpet, having appeared on the S/S '24 runways at Alberta Ferretti and Erdem. Already scattered across some of our favourite high-street brands, we predict a peplum revival.

2. PRETTY BOWS

Style Notes: We spotted the bow accessories trend saturate the city streets across fashion month, so a nod to the rising trend on the Oscars red carpet last night only felt natural. Appearing on subtle—and not-so-subtle—designs, the bow trend was big across the board.

SHOP THE TREND:

3. OFF-THE-SHOULDER DRESSES

Style Notes: Easy, elegant and ideal for event styling, the off-the-shoulder neckline was chosen by celebrities for its effortlessly glamorous silhouette. These striking dresses played up many a dramatic necklace on the night, but I also love to style an off-the-shoulder top with jeans or wide-leg trousers to bring an elegant edge to my casual day-to-day style.

While award season might be winding down a bit, the Oscars red carpet is set to be anything but boring. Taking place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles this year, the 96th annual Academy Awards will celebrate some of our favourite stars including Emma Stone, America Ferrera, and Carey Mulligan. While we're always mesmerised by the fashion at award shows, we can't count out these incredible beauty looks we've spotted so far. TBH, I might need a few days to recover, take them all in, and promptly add them to my mood board. Keep scrolling and you'll see what I mean. These are the absolute best Oscars red carpet beauty looks we've seen so far.

E! Oscars red carpet host Laverne Cox kept it simple and elegant with bronzy gold eyes and soft red lips.

I'm really feeling this simple, sophisticated look from Zendaya.

Julianne Hough stunned in a rosé-hued look for the carpet this year.

I already see a theme emerging. This is the year of blush-coloured lips.

Issa Rae is a girl after my own heart. She wore a deep bronze-and-gold eye look with a thick winged liner, but she also opted for a gloss on the lips instead of a traditional lipstick.

Gabrielle Union sports smoky eyes, extra voluminous lashes, and rosy cheeks.

Cynthia Erivo isn't against a matching look. Her teal liner perfectly matched her dress and nails.

Vanessa Hudgens, who debuted her baby bump on the carpet, went for a rosy mauve tone on both the lips and eyes.

The real centerpiece of Eva Longoria's look was her sweeping black Tamara Ralph gown, but her peach-toned lip shade was the perfect complement.

Peach Fuzz is Pantone's colour of the year, so all the rose- and peach-toned makeup looks on the carpet made perfect sense.

Anya Taylor-Joy always stuns, but her Christian Dior dress here was a favorite. The smoky eyes and subtle pink lips complement them perfectly.

Emma Stone wore elegant and simple jewelry with her custom Louis Vuitton dress but kept her makeup simple (and on theme) with the rosy lips.

Kristen Dunst went for a classic fire-engine red lip and it pairs so well with her white Gucci gown.

Emily Blunt's makeup is a lovely shade of rose gold. Her highlight literally sparkles when the light hits it just right.

Extra-voluminous lashes and a light gloss on the lips for Ava Duvernay.

I'm obsessed with this rosy-brown shade of lipstick Florence Pugh is wearing. It's the perfect colour to wear for a special occasion, but it also totally works as an everyday lip colour.

Ariana Grande's Wicked-inspired look included a glossy pink lip.

A nude, no makeup-makeup look for Margot Robbie.

Lights, camera, fashion.

With the 2024 award season underway, we're already seeing some truly *incredible* looks from film and television stars alike on the red carpet. From Hunter Schafer's ethereal Prada dress straight from the runway to Rosamund Pike's veiled look, some of the biggest names in Hollywood certainly aren't holding back.

For the latest episode of Who What Wear With Hillary Kerr, Kat Collings, WWW's editor in chief, sits down with Erin Fitzpatrick, WWW's associate director of fashion news, to discuss some of their favorite looks from the Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards, and more. Plus, Collings and Fitzpatrick share their predictions for what film's biggest stars will wear on the biggest red carpet of award season—the Oscars. 

For excerpts from their conversation, scroll below.

Kat Collings: I know you attended the Golden Globes a few weeks ago, so let's do a recap of what we've seen and how you think the looks will evolve throughout the award season.

Erin Fitzpatrick: One of my favorites was Rosamund Pike at the Golden Globes. She was wearing a black lace Dior dress with a veil by Philip Treacy, who, by the way, does a lot of Kate Middleton's hats. No one wears fancy hats and headpieces more often than royals. I love that extra veil element. She's working with the stylist Leith Clark, so I'm really excited to see what else Rosamund Pike will be wearing for the Oscars in March.

I also really loved Hunter Schafer's Prada look. … It's just really smart to get the fashion points. That was a look that, on the Prada runway, people were just freaking out over it because the garment moves with any sort of breeze. It's very ethereal and lovely and is like [the] main character in its own right.

I also think Barry Keoghan from Saltburn. He wore Louis Vuitton, a red suit. He wore a pearl earring—just one earring—and a necklace and a brooch. It was the full fashion look. I think he's really somebody I'm super excited to see what he'll wear because he seems really down for anything and willing to wear "fashion with a capital F" kind of things.

The next was the Critics Choice Awards. We had Greta Lee's notable Loewe look that came straight from the S/S 24 menswear runway, actually. Then we had Ayo Edebiri's incredible suit from The Row, which I think was unanimously loved. I personally think the Golden Globes came in a little hotter, but people really came through also for the Critics Choice. Did you have any favorite looks from that carpet?

I did. I don't know if you saw Colman Domingo. He's someone who's newly on my radar. I know he was in Euphoria, but I actually haven't watched Euphoria. I'm the only one. I've been noticing him based on his style, and he's styled by Wayman + Micah—who I believe have been on the pod—and he wore this amazing gold Valentino coat thrown over his shoulders kind of like a cape. The coat had a purple lining, and he wore it with this mustard-yellow suit. It's just another example of the guys really going for it in the fashion department, and I really appreciate that.

Now that we've had a few carpets to start the year, the Grammys are the next big one right around the corner. What are we expecting to see there?

It will be a totally different set of people, obviously, because it's music and not film and TV. We'll have some crossover, like Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez, hopefully. What I'm hoping for for traffic purposes in my job is a Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce moment.

The rest of the award season, we have the SAG Awards and the big cap on it all—the Oscars. Any predictions or thoughts on what we might see there?

SAG Awards is both TV and film. The Oscars, of course, are only film, which is a little unfortunate because you think of the Oscars as the biggest of the season. But we won't get the TV stars like Ayo [Edebiri] or Elizabeth Olsen, but we will see all of them at the SAG Awards, hopefully. The Oscars are definitely the most prestigious. I Google fact-checked that it is the most watched of the award shows. When you have all those eyeballs on you, it totally makes sense that you might want to play it safe a little bit more—appeal a little more to the masses and less to the fashion crowd. The Oscars are a little bit safer looks.

This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity. Next, check out our interview with Jacob Elordi's stylists, Wendi Ferreira and Nicole DeJulio.

The 95th annual Academy Awards were last night, and now that I've had some time to digest all of the incredible beauty looks, one stands out as a clear winner for me: Rihanna's classic glam. The singer was nominated for her song "Lift Me Up" from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and she showed up to the red—ahem, champagne—carpet with some of the best Oscars makeup we saw all night. 

"We wanted to create a monochromatic makeup look with a maple-red lip and highlight, punctuated by strong black eyeliner to echo the structure of Rihanna's gown," Fenty Beauty global makeup artist Priscilla Ono shared in a press release. Rihanna's dusty-red lip stood out as a fresh twist on a classic. 

Below, find every product that Ono used on Rihanna's face last night. I don't know about you, but I'm planning on re-creating the look immediately. Keep reading for all of the details.

After a long award season that's included Harry Styles in a Swarovski-crystal onesie and Zendaya in more archival vintage looks than we can count on one hand, it's finally time for the big finale—that is, the Oscars. *Pause for oohs and aahs.* Tonight, the biggest names in Hollywood once again came together to celebrate a year's worth of work in film, but we all know that the most significant portion of the evening arrives before any of the awards are doled out. 

The red carpet is the unofficial main event when it comes to Oscars night or really any award show, so it goes without saying that we kept our eyes peeled for the entire duration of the pre–Academy Awards parade. And though all our favourite celebrities in attendance came dressed to the nines, a number of them (with help from their ever-talented stylists) managed to surpass even our wickedly high expectations for the evening. Scroll down to see which guests at the Oscars nabbed a spot on our best dressed list in 2023.

We're excited to see what trends take centre stage at this year's Academy Awards. Will there be nods to the goth aesthetic we saw taking over this season's runways? Will bold lips rule the night? Will hair stay classic or skew dramatic?

Delevingne's monochromatic makeup perfectly pairs a smoky eye with a neutral lip, but we also can't get enough of her deeply side-parted, slicked-back hair.

Next, Every Oscars Red Carpet Look That Altered Our Brain Chemistry

After a long award season that's included Harry Styles in a Swarovski-crystal onesie and Zendaya in more archival vintage looks than we can count on one hand, it's finally time for the big finale—that is, the Oscars. *Pause for oohs and aahs.* Tonight, the biggest names in Hollywood once again came together to celebrate a year's worth of work in film, but we all know that the most significant portion of the evening arrives before any of the awards are doled out. 

The red carpet is the unofficial main event when it comes to Oscars night or really any award show, so it goes without saying that we kept our eyes peeled for the entire duration of the pre–Academy Awards parade. And though all our favorite celebrities in attendance came dressed to the nines, a number of them (with help from their ever-talented stylists) managed to surpass even our wickedly high expectations for the evening. Scroll down to see which guests at the Oscars nabbed a spot on our best dressed list in 2023.

Coming up next: 12 Fresh-Off-the-Runway Looks I'm Dying to See at the Oscars

Zendaya has become one of the most highly anticipated celebrities at red carpet events, and this year's Oscars were no different. She and stylist Law Roach have become one of fashion's favorite duos, providing us with stunning, bar-raising red carpet looks. Tonight, Zendaya decided to ditch the traditional long-gown style and wear a crop top and metallic skirt by Valentino. She can pull off virtually anything, but this look is especially gorgeous. The top is a cropped silk dress shirt with a classic collar and button-down detailing, and the hem is cut in a way that gives us a peek at Zendaya's midsection. Paired with it were a floor-length silver skirt and a silver bracelet wrapped around her arm. The metallic skirt added the perfect touch of Hollywood glam and elevated the whole ensemble. 

Zendaya could write the book on how to look chic, elevated, youthful, and glamorous all at the same time. The Dune actress has had an amazing year so far, on-screen and with her fashion moments. This crop-top-and-skirt look is definitely going to be on a best dressed list.

After a few virtual award-show seasons, I couldn't be more excited for the 2022 Academy Awards. Of all of the glamorous gowns I've seen so far, one look has really stolen my heart. Lily James, the star of the Hulu series Pam & Tommy, hit the carpet wearing a stunning light-pink Atelier Versace gown. The dainty dress with elegant lace detailing looks as pretty as it sounds, and James paired it with a gorgeous diamond necklace and matching pink Versace platform heels. When I first saw this look, my heart stopped. James looks like an absolute princess, but what really takes this gown to the next level is the thigh-high slit. 

This slit comes all the way up James's thigh, showing her bubblegum-pink platforms and amazing legs. The slit adds a certain element of sexiness to an otherwise romantic gown, elevating the whole look. When it comes to a red carpet look, Donatella Versace rarely disappoints, and James at the 94th Academy Awards is no exception. I predict we will be seeing many more thigh-high slits on and off the red carpet.

One of the first guests to arrive at the awards, James’s look set the tone for the evening.

Next: See Every Stunning Look From the Oscars Red Carpet

The Academy Awards have always been a night of glitz and glamour, especially when we’re talking about the diamonds that grace the necks, wrists, and fingers of Hollywood’s most adored celebrities. This is a huge night for fashion, where designers get to show off some of their best ready-to-wear moments, but we thought the bling deserved a closer look. One star whose jewelry stole the show at the 2022 Oscars was Jessica Chastain. Chastain wore stunning jewelry from Gucci’s second High Jewelry collection, Hortus Deliciarum, designed by Alessandro Michele. This collection is inspired by views and colors of the changing sky, and Michele also took some inspiration from the roaring twenties, as seen in the fringe, tassel necklaces, and chandelier earrings. 

For the Oscars red carpet, Chastain wore earrings, a bracelet, and a ring from the collection, which she paired with a gorgeous floor-length purple gown. Chastain’s jewelry was in all white gold with accents of color in each piece, and her hair was pulled back to show off her statement earrings. Not only is she one of my favorite actresses to watch on-screen, but the look paired with these showstopping diamonds has also put her on my best dressed list.

Get a closer look at Chastain’s jewelry:

44 gems, 22.76 carats, white gold, pink spinels, and diamonds

1 gem, 7.74 carats, white gold, pink spinels, and diamonds

1 gem, 6.1 carats, white gold, lilac spinel, and diamonds

After taking home the award for Best Actress for The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Chastain changed into a gorgeous emerald Gucci gown and an absolutely stunning necklace for the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party. When I say stunning, I mean stunning. This necklace is a lion head necklace in 18kt white gold, opal, tanzanites, and diamonds, and a Gucci High Jewelry solitaire ring in 18kt white gold, green garnet, and diamonds. I mean, wow.

Paired with it were a floor-length silver skirt and a silver bracelet wrapped around her arm. The metallic skirt added the perfect touch of Hollywood glam and elevated the whole ensemble.

Next: The Best Beauty Looks From the 2022 Oscars

Places, everyone, it's finally time for the big show! That's right—the 2021 Academy Awards have arrived (albeit a little later than usual), and we couldn't be more ready for the epic finale to this year's awards season. For obvious reasons, red carpets have looked a bit different this year and have taken us on a more digital journey than ever before. But this hasn't stopped our favourite celebs from serving up some seriously jaw-dropping beauty moments from the Emmy Awards, Grammy Awards, SAG Awards, and more. This evening's Oscar Awards are sure to be even more exciting.

As we all know, big beauty moments at the Oscars are nothing new. But after a year spent wearing nothing but sweatpants and with less makeup and hairstyling than ever before, we're confident our faves will bring it on the Oscars red carpet this year. Keep scrolling for the most showstopping beauty looks to inspire all your hair and makeup aspirations for when we can show our faces in public again.

Excuse us while we pick our jaws up off the floor! Zendaya is absolutely stunning with those flowing mermaid locks and soft, glowy makeup. And those brows? Always iconic.

Must-have beauty product: Lancôme Brow Shaping Powdery Pencil in Light Brown (£23)

As if the coily faux hawk weren't gorgeous enough, Ms. Viola also hit us with a pink lip. We love.

Must-have beauty product: Matrix Total Results High Amplify Flexible Hold Hairspray (£9)

This red lip is also speaking to us.

Must-have beauty product: Sisley Paris Tango Phyto-Lip Twist Matte (£32)

Regina King can do no wrong in our book, but this monochromatic sky blue moment is something special. 

Must-have beauty product: Clinique Quickliner for Eyes Intense Eyeliner Pencil in Intense Ivy (£17)

This ponytail moment is certainly a departure from Margot's usual lob haircut. We're loving the face-framing fringe and the overall laid-back vibe. Plus, her glowy makeup is just too good.

Must-have beauty product: Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Illuminating Powder (£47)

Andra is a golden goddess this evening!

We are loving how Glenn's signature pixie cut is styled tonight.

It's the soft glam for us. Her very best accessory? All that bare skin! 

Must-have beauty product: CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask (£299)

We are loving this royal purple eye shadow moment! It's not often we get to see a colour story like this at the Oscars and it's just gorgeous. Her easy, flowing hair was the perfect complement.

Must-have beauty product: Wella

EIMI Thermal Image Heat Protection Spray (£12)

If there's one thing we know about Ms. Angela, it's that she'll never miss an opportunity to give us a bold eye shadow moment. And she never misses, either!

Must-have beauty product: Lancôme Hypnôse Drama Eyeshadow Palette in Blue Hypnotique (£43)

There are no word for this glamorous look. Everything about it exudes Hollywood glamour.

Must-have beauty product: Lancôme Hypnôse Drama Eyeshadow Palette in Rose Fusion (£43)

This asymmetrical, ultra-short bob is such a different look for Halle! We're loving the switch-up, especially the trendy baby bangs. And we'll always appreciate that steadfastly glowy skin.

Fresh skin and sleek hair will never go out of style.

Must-have beauty product: Phyto Glossing Cream (£17)
