Between the Academy flip-flopping on who will present what, proposed cuts to the musical performances and the whole event going host-less, this year’s Oscars saw its fair share of drama before the red carpet was even rolled out.
Now that the big night is here, the stars are bringing their own version of dramaaaaa with seriously stunning looks and we are living for it.
Crazy Rich Asians star Constance Wu was one of the first out of the gate, and she killed it in a surefire combo: a sunny gown and a red lip. Amandla Stenberg, who’s presenting tonight, wore a gorgeous beaded gown from her go-to brand, Miu Miu. And Laura Harrier, styled by Canadian Karla Welch, chose a sustainably made ice-blue dress from Louis Vuitton.
Bring on the punchy hues, the sparkly embellishments and all the glamour gracing the 91st Academy Awards. Scroll through to see all our favourite looks from this year’s Oscars — and keep checking back all night for updates!
Oscars 2019 red carpet
KiKi Layne
For her first ever Oscars red carpet appearance, KiKi Layne slayed the game in a light pink Atelier Versace gown. Just look at that bow!
Rachel Weisz
How do you make a cropped tee Oscar-worthy? Givenchy knows, and apparently, it’s gotta be red latex, and paired with a pleated skirt.
Jennifer Lopez
Excuse you, J-Lo, over here looking 20 years younger than you actually are and killing it in this disco ball-esque Tom Ford dress.
Angela Bassett
Big, billowy pink was the name of the game on tonight’s red carpet, and this ageless beauty joined the club in her jaw-dropping Reem Acra gown.
Regina King
King, who just won the best supporting actress for her role in If Beale Street Could Talk, wore this sexy structural white gown from Oscar de la Renta.
Lady Gaga
We’re medium on this Alexander McQueen gown, but check out that honking diamond. It’s the Tiffany diamond, reportedly worth $50 million, and it’s the first time it’s been worn since Audrey Hepburn wore it in 1961. NBD, all around.
Brie Larson
The latest Captain Marvel rarely makes it onto our best dressed lists, but this slinky gown from new Celine changed that for us this year.
Sarah Paulson
The Ocean’s 8 star always goes bold on red carpets, and tonight, she rocked this fuchsia gown from Brandon Maxwell.
Tessa Thompson
Gold and black is so glam, which means this Chanel tea-length gown is perfect for the fanciest awards show of the season.
Lucy Boynton
In a sea of pink, this satin purple gown from Rodarte stood out on the Bohemian Rhapsody star.
Emma Stone
From afar, does this Louis Vuitton gown kind of look like it’s made of beef jerky? Good thing we love beef jerky.
Allison Janney
This Pamela Roland gown is what you wear when you want to wear a tuxedo, but you also want to wear a gown.
Amy Adams
Kacey Musgraves
This Giambattista Valli confection the GRAMMY-winning star chose for the evening is so much fun, and pink is quickly becoming the evening’s favourite colour.
Jennifer Hudson
Red was rare on this year’s carpet, so Hudson’s Elie Saab would have stood out even without its gorgeous asymmetrical silhouette and ruffle.
Gemma Chan
Melissa McCarthy
Ashley Graham
Black can be boring, but in the case of this Zac Posen on the stunning Graham, it is anything but basic.
Laura Harrier
In case you weren’t immediately blinded by her beauty, Harrier here used to be a model. So of course, she looks freakin’ amazing in this Louis Vuitton gown, made with sustainably-sourced materials.
Amandla Stenberg
Constance Wu
This golden yellow custom Versace gown by far the best thing the Crazy Rich Asians star has worn this awards season. The fit is perfect, and pairing that hue with a red lip was spot on.
