After much anticipation, the 2026 Oscars red carpet is officially underway! Somehow, another year has flown by since last season’s Academy Awards gave us plenty of memorable moments—from Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s emotional Wicked duet to Adrien Brody’s record-breaking acceptance speech and a few unforgettable fashion risks. Hollywood’s biggest night has rolled around again, and the anticipation feels just as electric.

This year, the race is wide open as awards season reaches its grand finale. One Battle After Another, Sinners, Sentimental Value, The Secret Agent, and Hamnet are some of the few features expected to win big. For Best Actor, the competition is tight, with recent ceremony wins hinting that a few surprises could still be in store. Timothée Chalamet, Michael B. Jordan, Leonardo DiCaprio, Wager Moura and Ethan Hawke occupy the highly coveted Best Actor category, while Emma Stone, Jessie Buckley, Rose Byrne, Renate Reinsve and Kate Hudson make up the Best Actress lineup. And if the past few weeks of awards shows have taught us anything, it’s that nothing is guaranteed once those envelopes are opened.
Of course, before the trophies are handed out, all eyes are on the red carpet. As the stars arrive, they’ll be hoping to maintain their winning fashion streaks from the season—whether that means rare vintage pulls, couture straight from the runway, or custom creations designed for the biggest stage in Hollywood. And considering the lush history of red carpet fashion moments from the ceremony’s history, this year is sure to deliver.
The world’s most glamorous red carpet has been rolled out once again for the 98th Academy Awards, with the industry’s biggest names making their way into the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Late-night favourite Conan O’Brien returns as host, and audiences will be eagerly waiting to see who—or what—gets a mention in his opening monologue.
