The best dressed celebrities on the 96th Academy Awards Oscars red carpet

In case you *somehow* missed it, we're in the midst of awards season, meaning that major ceremonies like the Emmys, Golden Globes, Governors Awards, Brit Awards and Critics Choice Awards have all come and gone. And, now, the 96th Academy Awards – AKA the 2024 Oscars – has arrived.

Taking place on Sunday 10 March at Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre, the ceremony started at 7pm ET (11pm UK time) and saw a host of A-Listers take to the red carpet. This includes the one and only Vanessa Hudgens, who used the opportunity to reveal that she is expecting her first child!

Probably the most star-studded event of the year (besides, idk, a literal astronomy symposium) the ceremony saw faves from the worlds of film strut their stuff in amazing style. Someone who sadly wasn't present? The one and only Taylor Swift – even though Oscars producers were ready to save a seat for her...

No matter, there were plenty of celebs in attendance, including the one and only Zendaya in a *stunning* Armani Privé dress that was giving all sorts of old Hollywood glamour.

Other major fash-un moments include Greta Lee in monochrome Loewe, Margot Robbie's slinky black Versace chainmail (her final Barbie 'fit), Florence Pugh's futuristic, sculptural Del Core gown (a continuation of her killer Dune promo looks) and Ariana Grande in showstopping Giambattista Valli.

Yep, fashion fans will be eating out on these looks for a looooong time. Fancy seeing the best of what the red carpet had to offer? Keep scrolling for all the gorgeous style moments from the 2024 Academy Awards and be prepared to be bowled over...

Zendaya

Zendaya rocked a one-shouldered Armani Privé gown with an asymmetric sparkle bodice and palm tree pattern, accessorised with Bulgari jewellery.

Greta Lee

Past Lives star has firmly established her as a FRow fave and a fashion starlet - and her Oscars look didn't disappoint. The flowing monochrome Loewe gown was très chic.

Ariana Grande

Fresh off the release of her latest album Eternal Sunshine, Ariana Grande wore a strapless, powder pink Giambattista Valli gown with ruched detailing and a massive statement bow and train alongside Tiffany & Co jewellery.

Lupita Nyong'o

Stepping out in a baby blue Armani Privé gown featuring sparkles and feather detailing at the hem and waist, Lupita Nyong'o looked stunning.

America Ferrera

Barbie star America Ferrera's Oscars look consisted of a pink chainmail Atelier Versace dress with a trailing hem and sweetheart neckline.

Florence Pugh

Florence Pugh's Del Core look was sooo futuristic, featuring a silver skirt topped off with a textured sculptural bodice. Very Dune-core...

Billie Eilish

Preppy fashion is here to stay, at least if Billie Eilish's Oscars look is anything to go by. The musician wore a Chanel fit consisting of a crisp white shirt, black blazer, houndstooth mini handbag, black and white calf-length tartan skirt, white ankle socks and black Mary Jane flats. Too cute!

Margot Robbie

Margot Robbie toned in with her Barbie co-star America Ferrera, wearing a strapless black chainmail column gown by Versace which featured gathered fabric at the waist.

Anya Taylor-Joy

Anya Taylor-Joy looked like a princess in a strapless, ivory Dior haute couture gown featuring decadent beading and a skirt featuring scalloped layers. She accessorised with Tiffany & Co jewellery.

Michelle Yeoh

Michelle Yeoh posed in a two-tone silver Balenciaga dress that was absolutely *covered* in sequins and boasted a trailing hem. She accessorised with a dramatic pair of black opera gloves.

Danielle Brooks

The Colour Purple actress Danielle Brooks wore a black satin Dolce & Gabbana gown with a bustier bodice and a *major* side split as well as a statement bow at the back.

Maitreyi Ramakrishnan

Another proponent of the bow trend, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan rocked a black and white Zuhair Murad gown with a thigh split and major statement bow.

Rita Moreno

West Side Story actress Rita Moreno stepped out in a black Badgley Mischka gown featuring dramatic 3D ruffles, paired with black opera gloves and pointed flats.

Issa Rae

Barbie star Issa Rae looked gorgeous in an Ami gown with a plunging sequin bodice, sash waist and velvet skirt with thigh slit.

Gabrielle Union

Gabrielle Union was one of many invitees opting for a sculptural look and statement silhouette. The actress wore a mod-meets-cyborg Carolina Herrera silver embellished mini dress over a matching column skirt and wore her hair in a slicked-up bun. Stunning!

Carey Mulligan

Carey Mulligan wowed in a slinky black Balenciaga dress with a strapless bodice and a scalloped hem revealing a voluminous layer of tulle.

Cynthia Eriva looked stunning in a forest green leather dress by Louis Vuitton featuring a trailing hem and statement shoulders.

Emily Blunt

Taking inspiration from the Oscars gold statuette, Emily Blunt's sparkly Schiaparelli gown featured an embellished Y-front boxer briefs design and hovering shoulder straps.

A polka dot strapless gown and co-ordinating off-the-shoulder shrug? We're calling Jennifer Lawrence's Dior look effortlessly elegant.

Amelia Dimoldenberg
