Our Favorite 2026 Oscars Red Carpet Looks Of The Night
The pinnacle of awards season — the Oscars — is here, but the celebrities had to step out on the red carpet to start celebrating the evening first.
The 98th Academy Awards promises to bring tons of exciting performances, shocking (and not-so-shocking) wins, moving acceptance speeches, and lots of glamour. And the Oscars red carpet was rolled out to showcase all the glamorous celebrities’ looks.
From 2026 Oscars nominees like Jessie Buckley, Teyana Taylor, Jacob Elordi, and and the star-studded crews from Sinners and KPop Demon Hunters to presenters like Nicole Kidman, Anne Hathaway, and Pedro Pascal, we kept our eyes peeled for the best-dressed celebrities. (We're also looking out for more political pins throughout the night!)
Ahead, see our favorite 2026 Oscars looks of the night (or jump to the red carpet looks from the Vanity Fair Oscar Party).
