The Oscars went 'back to basics' this year with a red carpet as opposed to 2023's champagne. But there was nothing basic about the gowns that graced it. Quite simply, in terms of starry style, there is no greater occasion than the Academy Awards - and last night was no exception.
Winning her second gong for Poor Things, Best Actress Emma Stone brought back the peplum via a 10 out of 10 custom look by Louis Vuitton. Its oh-so-light seafoam green hue was the perfect match for the fairytale powder blue chosen by Da'Vine Joy Randolph, this year's Best Supporting Actress, whose gown was also (what do you know?) custom Louis Vuitton.
Elsewhere, LBDs - that's long black dresses - were another trend that emerged from the red carpet. Leading the charge was Margot Robbie, who staged a very public break up with her alter ego's favourite colour - pink! - with a sculptural black gown by Versace. Greta Lee, who's almost unanimously taken home the prize for best dressed this awards season, wore another dazzlingly good dress by Loewe, with a cape-style neckline that draped elegantly down her back. Also wearing black that was anything but boring? Carey Mulligan (fishtail-skirted Balenciaga), Jennifer Lawrence (polka-dotted Dior Haute Couture), Issa Rae (AMI Paris) and Danielle Brooks (corseted Dolce & Gabbana).
Billie Eilish, who took home the gong for Best Original Song, was just one of the celebrities who decided to wear a red pin from Artists4Ceasefire, the organisation who is calling for, 'an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Gaza and Israel before another life is lost.' Others included Riz Ahmed, Ava DuVernay and Mark Ruffalo.
