Following a particularly busy awards season, tonight the biggest stars gathered for the grand finale: the 2026 Oscars, held at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. No longer needing risks to catch a voter’s eyes, attendees opted for more refined looks in hopes they’ll hit the stage. The best dressed of the night prioritised clean lines with sly twists. This was a particularly good night for Chanel, which continued Mattieu Blazy’s hot streak, dressing a slew of celebrities including Jessie Buckley who took home the Best Actress trophy. Also having a very successful evening? Louis Vuitton, which included Renate Reinsve, Chase Infiniti and Best Actor winner Michael B. Jordan among their roster. Here are our top 10 best dressed from the evening. Eduardo Carmelo Dañobeytia

While she didn’t win for One Battle After Another, the Best Supporting Actress nominee was among our favourites, opting for warbler-chic in a feather and beaded semi-sheer custom dress with Tiffany & Co. jewellery. ECD
ROSE BYRNE IN DIOR
Best actress nominee Rose Byrne, for her role in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, was one of the first to hit the red carpet. She wore a black Mermaid cut gown by Jonathan Anderson for Dior that featured sinuous floral embroideries around the bust and the hem of the skirt. Emily Phillips
JAYME LAWSON IN LOEWE
Cobalt blue and sculptural, this Loewe gown was an unexpected but welcome choice on the red carpet. ECD
EMMA STONE IN LOUIS VUITTON
Landing on the red carpet in a dazzling backless gown by Louis Vuitton, Best Actress nominee Emma Stone looked lovely at this year’s Oscars. Pearlescent and elegant with a simple shift cut and an empire bodice, the gown channelled the Regency Era with a futuristic flair. EP
MICHAEL B. JORDAN IN LOUIS VUITTON
To take home the Best Actor trophy, Jordan wore a buttoned up black Louis Vuitton tux with large black enamel buttons. The best part? The impactful accessories including the sun brooch on the nape of his neck and a hefty waist chain. ECD
DEMI MOORE IN GUCCI
Demi Moore truly peacocked at this year’s Oscars. Donning a custom number by Demna for Gucci, her iridescent feathered gown in blacks and glistening blue-greens brought a fierce avian energy to the annual event. EP

Anne Hathaway In Valentino
Hathaway stepped out on the red carpet in an incredibly elegant black mermaid cut gown peppered with soft pink floral embroidery. Presenting the awards for Best Costume Design and Best Make-Up and Hairstyling alongside Anna Wintour, the actor broke the fourth wall, bringing her Devil Wears Prada character, Andrea, to real life alongside the woman Miranda Priestly was based on.
