Oscars 2026 red carpet: The best fashion looks


Hollywood’s biggest night is here, along with the biggest red carpet of awards season.

Not only is it massive in size — it takes about 2,400 hours and more than 400 workers to assemble the red carpet, measuring 900 feet long and 60 feet wide — but enormous in influence. It boasts the most memorable, stylish and extravagant fashion in entertainment history. In fact, stars have been taking cues from Hollywood history at precursor awards shows. Old Hollywood glamour dominated January’s Golden Globes. And the Actor Awards, held two weeks ago, were themed “Reimagining Hollywood Glamour from the ‘20s and ‘30s.”

Lead and supporting actress nominees Jessie Buckley, Kate Hudson, Emma Stone, Elle Fanning, Wunmi Mosaku and Teyana Taylor have already won in the style department and impressed yet again. All eyes were also on dapper actors Pedro Pascal, Michael B. Jordan, Timothée Chalamet, Delroy Lindo and Jacob Elordi.

Fanning (in Givenchy by Sarah Burton), Mckenna Grace and “KPop Demon Hunters” stars Audrey Nuna and Ji-young Yoo were among the celebrities to don dramatic ball gowns. Meanwhile, Taylor (in Chanel), Nicole Kidman, Demi Moore and Maya Rudolph embraced feathered and fringed frocks.

Here’s the best fashion from the 2026 Oscars, captured from every angle by The Times’ photo team.
