Hollywood closed out awards season Sunday night with the 98th Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre, where host Conan O’Brien returned for a second consecutive year to lead the ceremony. Alongside the evening’s historic wins and occasional awkward moments, the red carpet once again served as a high-profile showcase for the fashion industry.
Actors from leading contenders including Sinners, Hamnet, One Battle After Another, Marty Supreme, and Sentimental Value arrived in a mix of custom couture, label loyalty, and bold beauty transformations, underscoring the Oscars’ role as both a cultural and commercial stage for luxury brands.
Several repeat fashion partnerships stood out. Elle Fanning and Timothée Chalamet again opted for designs by Sarah Burton for Givenchy, extending a relationship that has become a fixture of recent awards seasons.
The red carpet also delivered headline-making appearances from celebrity couples. Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams made a joint appearance, while Kylie Jenner skipped the carpet but was reported to be inside supporting Chalamet during the ceremony.
With the ceremony now concluded, attention is turning to the evening’s standout fashion moments. Industry watchers and fans alike are revisiting the red carpet lineup to identify the looks most likely to join the canon of memorable Oscars style—and to debate which stars ultimately delivered the night’s best-dressed performances.
