GALLERY: Stylish standouts at the 2024 Oscars
Is an awards night truly complete without the fashion spectacle?
The red carpet at the 96th Academy Awards displayed a variety of classic black gowns, shimmering metallics, and soft pastels. Whether opting for timeless sophistication or making a bold statement, the attendees brought diverse energy to the night.
Glimmering gowns ruled the red carpet, with stars like Anya Taylor-Joy, Jennifer Lawrence, and Charlize Theron arriving in sparkling haute couture by Dior.
For some, their dresses held a deeper meaning. Lupita Nyong'o's pale blue Armani Privé echoed her winning look from the 2014 Oscars, while Carey Mulligan channeled a classic 1951 Balenciaga design with her sleek black gown.
Trendier styles like the floating shoulders were also seen on Oppenheimer stars Emily Blunt and Florence Pugh.
Meanwhile, several celebrities, including Billie Eilish, Mark Ruffalo, and Ramy Youssef, donned small red pins in a plea for peace in Gaza. But Zone of Interest director Jonathan Glazer took a more direct approach, using his acceptance speech at the Oscars to bring attention to the conflict.
Ahead, check out the standout looks from the 2024 Oscars.
