The 96th Academy Awards ceremony hosted by Jimmy Kimmel at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California, USA, witnessed the return of the iconic red carpet, departing from the serene champagne-coloured carpet of last year.
The best-known symbol of Hollywood glamour made its welcome return, with men sporting brooches and women donning gravity-defying silhouettes. Double-breasted suits emerged as the new go-to silhouette for men’s formalwear, while women opted for muted metallics en masse.
Here are our top 10 picks for the most stunning red carpet looks at the Oscars 2024:
1. Zendaya in Giorgio Armani Prive
Although not a nominee tonight, Zendaya stunned in a black and pink Giorgio Armani Privé column gown. The gown featured an embroidered palm tree print and an embellished bodice of gunmetal paillettes.
She accessorised her look with simple yet elegant earrings in pink gold, punctuated with marquise diamonds, tourmalines, morganites, mandarin garnets, and pave-set diamonds from Bulgari jewels.
2. Carey Mulligan in Balenciaga
Choosing monochromatic elegance, British actor Carey Mulligan wore a black velvet strapless gown with an old Hollywood charm.
The gown, cinched at the waist, featured a cream tulle mermaid trail, a recreation of an archival Balenciaga design from 1951, specially recreated by the French fashion house for the 96th Academy Awards. Mulligan complemented the gown with black opera gloves and Boucheron jewels.
3. Eugene Lee Yang in Walter Mendez and H. Crowne Jewellery
Eugene Lee Yang made a bold statement on the red carpet, channelling his unique style. The filmmaker, actor, and internet celebrity wore a striking red tuxedo suit, tailored to perfection and accentuating his physique, with a long skirt by Walter Mendez, standing out in a sea of men dressed in neutral tuxedos.
Completing the look, Yang adorned a sparkling piece from H. Crowne jewellery.
4. Ariana Grande in custom Giambattista Valli Haute Couture and Tiffany & Co.
Ariana Grande donned a custom Giambattista Valli Haute ruched column gown in candy-bubblegum-pink colour.
Her dramatic outfit featured cloud-like puffed sleeves and an extravagant train. She completed the look with white gold pendan and a necklace, both adorned with pink stones by Tiffany & Co.
5. America Ferrera in custom Versace
America Ferrera channelled her fierce Barbie character in a fabulous metallic pink gown that took over 400 hours to create. Custom-made by Versace as a homage to the film, her pink dress was particularly special as it marked the first time during awards season that she chose to wear the official Barbie colour.
She paired her shimmery bodycon dress with silver platform heels by Stuart Weitzman, a chunky diamond Pomellato necklace with red rubellites, and a matching ring.
6. Emma Stone in Louis Vuitton
Despite encountering a sartorial snafu moments before accepting her trophy for Best Actress in a Leading Role for the movie ‘Poor Things’, Emma Stone left us speechless in a mint green bustier peplum gown by Louis Vuitton.
7. Laverne Cox in vintage Mugler
Exuding old Hollywood glamour, Laverne Cox stole the show in a black and gold dress by Mugle
The mermaid dress featured a metallic gold bustier with a plunging neckline and a black neck sash that doubled as a flowing cape.
8. Emily Blunt in Schiaparelli Couture and Tiffany & Co.
Emily Blunt’s dress defied gravity, with straps that appeared to float above the shoulders, stunning fans at first glance. She illuminated the red carpet in a white sequinned Schiaparelli gown adorned with silver crystal embellishments shaped like lingerie.
9. Florence Pugh in Del Core
Making a bold entrance at the 2024 Oscars, Florence Pugh showcased a punk-glam look that perfectly suits the British star’s style. The actress graced the red carpet in a custom, silvery sparkling gown by Del Core, a contemporary atelier from Milan.
10. Anya Taylor-Joy in Dior Haute Couture
Anya Taylor-Joy stunned onlookers with her first appearance on the Oscars red carpet, wearing an exquisite Christian Dior Haute Couture gown.
The dress boasted a voluminous skirt adorned with layers of dazzling petal-shaped flaps, reminiscent of Christian Dior’s iconic Junon dress from his Fall/Winter 1949-1950 collection.
Additionally, the gown drew inspiration from Sandro Botticelli’s famous painting, ‘The Birth of Venus’, adding a water-themed element that harmonised perfectly with the prevailing mermaidcore trend seen at the Oscars.
