The 2026 Oscars delivered stunning red carpet fashion, and we've rounded up the best looks you need to see from the night.

The 98th Academy Awards brought Hollywood's biggest night to the Dolby Theatre, and the red carpet did not disappoint. This year's unofficial theme? Feathers, florals, and unapologetic glamour. From Teyana Taylor's show-stopping Chanel to Jessie Buckley's Grace Kelly homage, this was a night where everyone understood the assignment.

We're breaking down the looks that had us screaming, the fits that made us want to raid closets, and the fashion moments we'll be referencing all year. Let's get into it!

Teyana arrived in a custom Chanel gown that was part mermaid, part illusion, part pure fashion. The dress started with a sheer black bodice embellished with silver crystal stripes, then exploded into tiers of black and white feathers with a dramatic train. Paired with Tiffany &amp; Co. diamonds worth over 18 carats and a sculpted pixie, this was a moment. Teyana, nominated for Best Supporting Actress for "One Battle After Another," has been serving all awards season, and this Chanel look, her first from new creative director Matthieu Blazy, was the perfect finale.

The vibe: Naked dressing meets high fashion meets "I just won the red carpet."

Jessie took home Best Actress and also won best-dressed in a custom pink Chanel gown with a red satin stole. At first glance, the lipstick red and peony pink combo feels risky, but Buckley made it look effortless. The real brilliance? This look was a direct homage to Grace Kelly's 1956 Oscars gown. Jessie and her stylist Danielle Goldberg did their homework, and it paid off beautifully.

The vibe: Old Hollywood royalty meets modern winner energy.

Rose, nominated for Best Actress, brought botanical drama in a black Christian Dior gown with textured floral embroidery. The dress was elegant, detailed, and perfectly tailored. Add a bold red lip and you have a red carpet power move. Rose has been chasing "elegance" with every look this season, and this Dior moment delivered exactly that.

The vibe: Floral excellence with edge.

Emma showed up in silver sequined Louis Vuitton with capped sleeves and a bouncy bob. The Bugonia star, nominated for Best Actress, arrived with husband Dave McCary but walked the carpet solo. Among all the black gowns and feathered drama, Emma's shimmer was a breath of fresh air. The relaxed silhouette felt modern and effortlessly cool, exactly what we've come to expect from Emma's red carpet game.

The vibe: Silver shimmer, understated and stunning.

Timothée, Best Actor nominee, arrived in an all-white custom Givenchy suit that was crisp, clean, and perfectly tailored. No gimmicks. No wild accessories. Just a man in a beautiful white suit looking like he belongs on a red carpet. Simple. Effective. Timothée.

The vibe: Classic menswear done right.

Nicole brought jaws to the floor in Chanel. The gown had decorative feathers, crystals, and a peplum bodice that was pure elegance with drama. Nicole has been doing red carpets for decades and somehow she still hasn't missed. This Chanel moment was proof that she's still one of the best-dressed women in Hollywood.

Demi arrived in Gucci with feathery plumage that was dramatic, luxurious, and absolutely stunning. The feather trend dominated the night, but Demi's Gucci interpretation stood out. She looked like she belonged on a red carpet, and honestly, that's exactly where she should be.

The vibe: Glamorous and unapologetic.

Elle, nominated for Best Supporting Actress, wore a custom Givenchy white ballgown that looked ready for a royal wedding. The gown was princess-coded in the best way—romantic, dreamy, and absolutely gorgeous. Elle has been a red carpet favorite for years, and this Givenchy moment reminded us why.

The vibe: Princess energy, Oscars edition.

Chase made her Oscars red carpet debut (and her first movie debut, "One Battle After Another" is her first film ever) in a lavender Louis Vuitton gown with dramatic cascading ruffles.&nbsp;

Wunmi, who revealed her pregnancy at the Golden Globes, stunned in a sparkling green hand-embroidered Louis Vuitton gown that beautifully accommodated her baby bump. The gown was elegant, fashion-forward, and proof that maternity red carpet dressing doesn't have to compromise on style.

The vibe: Glowing, gorgeous, and growing a human.

Kate, nominated for Best Actress for "Song Sung Blue," wore a sparkling mint Giorgio Armani Privé gown with Garatti jewels. The color was fresh, unexpected, and absolutely stunning. Kate looked like she was having the time of her life, and that energy made her look even better.

Reigning Best Actress winner Mikey Madison arrived in a blood-red Dior gown that was almost the same color as the carpet itself. The bold color choice, the sleek silhouette, the confidence, this was a winner's look through and through.

Jacob, Best Supporting Actor nominee, showed up in a Bottega Veneta tuxedo with a modern mullet that somehow worked perfectly. The tux was sharp, the hair was edgy, and the whole look was proof that menswear doesn't have to be boring.

The vibe: Classic tux, modern twist.

Arden, star of "K-pop Demon Hunters," wore Miss Sohee in a sculpted fishtail gown with an olive green shawl. The silhouette was sleek and dramatic, and the addition of the shawl gave it an elegant, editorial edge. Arden has been a fashion favorite this awards season, and this Miss Sohee moment proved exactly why.

The vibe: Sculpted elegance with just the right amount of drama.

Renate, nominated for Best Actress for "Sentimental Value," went simple and sexy in a red Louis Vuitton dress made from a single piece of fabric. Paired with red strappy heels, a red lip, and a lot of leg, this was minimalist elegance at its finest.

The vibe: Monochromatic and stunning.

It was beautiful. It was polished. It was exactly what you'd expect from Hollywood's biggest night. But was it memorable? Not really.

Feathers were everywhere. Black gowns dominated and while there were standout moments, Teyana's Chanel, Jessie's Grace Kelly tribute, Emma's butter yellow, most of the red carpet felt predictable, and maybe that's okay. Maybe not every awards show needs to be a fashion risk fest, maybe sometimes elegant and safe is enough, but we can't help but wonder: when did the Oscars red carpet get so... boring?

Next year, we're begging for more risks. More color. More chaos. More moments that make us actually care. Until then, we'll just keep replaying Teyana's feathered entrance.

The 2026 Oscars red carpet brought feathers, florals, and serious glamour. From Teyana Taylor's show-stopping Chanel to Jessie Buckley's Grace Kelly homage and Emma Stone's butter yellow moment, here's every look you need to see from Hollywood's biggest night.
