Of all of the award ceremonies, the Oscarsis the absolute King when it comes to the procession of jaw-dropping red carpet style (couldn't you guess from the fact it's extra enough to have two names: the Oscars and the Academy Awards?).

This year marked the 91st anniversary of the famous awards ceremony, and it certainly did not disappoint - with capacious dresses that had (let's all cheer together!) functional pockets! As well as some seriously slick looks emulating iconic screen stars like Audrey Hepburn (thanks Lady Gaga) and diverse, gender non-conforming fashion choices.

In fact, we're wondering whether we'd even go so far as to claim this is the most stylish and forward-thinking fashion parade we've seen at the Oscars so far? If you needed any more evidence, here are all of our favourite looks from the legendary ceremony last night...
