The stars arrive at the Dolby Theater for the biggest night in Hollywood: the oscars. In addition to celebrating the year with movies, the annual show takes a long time he Red carpet event of the year.
Sunday night also marks the culmination of a months-long awards season that has seen plenty of floral, cut-out, sequin and sheer dresses. (And it’s not just Margot Robbie who has contributed “Barbie-worthy” touches of pink.) But the attendees, or perhaps the designers and stylists who dress them, may have been saving the best for last.
The 96th Academy Awards categories are full of stars who have produced moments of magic on the red carpet in recent months, from Colman Domingo and America Ferrera to Best Song nominee Billie Eilish. So is the list of presenters and performers, which includes Bad Bunny and Zendaya, among many others.
Scroll down to see the best looks so far. This gallery will be updated throughout the night.
