Despite how crap 2021 has been so far, the glitziest night in Hollywood didn’t disappoint. The closest we’ve got to a proper award show all season (with a real red carpet!), last night’s Oscars took place in sunny LA, with further viewing parties in London and Paris – sayonara awkward Zoom acceptance speeches!
Notable winners included Daniel Kaluuya, who nabbed Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Black Panther Fred Hampton in Judas and the Black Messiah, as well as Chloé Zhao, who became the first Asian woman (and second ever woman) to win an Oscar for best director, with Nomadland.
Like with any award show, our eyes were on the fashions, and last night’s attendees showed all the way up. Was Zendaya your favourite look of the night? In her Cher-inspired, midriff-bearing Valentino number? Or how about Lakeith Stansfield? Who donned a seventies-inspired Le Smoking Saint Laurent jumpsuit, as styled by our Senior Fashion Editor-at-Large, Julie Ragolia? We’ve rounded up our 10 favourite looks from this year’s event (in no particular, of course), so make yourself a brew, park your bum on the couch and feast your eyes on these knockout fashion moments.
