The 98th Academy Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, is being held at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, Los Angeles, United States on March 15, 2026 local time and the festivities are already in full swing. Ahead of the big awards night, nominees and presenters hit the red carpet to rock their best looks, and here are some of our favorites.
Emma Stone
The Bugonia actress made a power move with a backless Louis Vuitton number in white as her cropped bob in red complemented it.

Amid a strong Oscar campaign for his role in Marty Supreme, Timothée Chalamet walked the red carpet alone. Contrary to what many expected, his girlfriend, fashionista Kylie Jenner, did not make herself available for the pre-walk and instead joined him inside the venue straight afterwards.
nicole kidman
Another solo entry was glam-queen Nicole Kidman herself, who recently spoke out for the first time since her split from husband Keith Urban. She chose a feathered Chanel dress that accentuated her waist and ditched any neck jewelery to put all the attention on her dress.

Neytiri Te Tsakaha Mo’atite wore a lacy black dress that complimented her figure as she hit the red carpet.

Jessie Buckley
Jessie Buckley, a strong contender for the Best Actress award, brought a much-needed pop of color amid the all-monochrome look.
Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams
The gorgeous couple looked matching in black outfits, while the singer wore a sequin two-piece as they smiled at each other.
odessa azion
With her film in the running to set a record at this year’s festival, Odessa Aznion appeared in one of the best looks of the night!

The Princess of Genovia looked her best in a gloved dress before referencing The Devil Wears Prada with Anna Wintour on stage ahead of the film’s May sequel premiere.
