The 95th Academy Awards took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California, and it was a truly star-studded happening, honoring the year’s best on the big screen.
Hosted by comedian Jimmy Kimmel, the lineup of Best Film and Best Actor and Best Actress categories included the best of the best in the industry. Nominees included films “Elvis,” “Tár,” “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” and “The Fabelmans,” and actresses and actors Cate Blanchett, Ana de Armas, Andrea Riseborough, Michelle Williams, Michelle Yeoh, Austin Butler, Colin Farrell, Brendan Fraser, Paul Mescal, and Bill Nighy.
The Oscars, after all, have the most glamorous red carpet looks of the season so here is Fashion Reverie’s favorite picks.
Malala Yousafzai
Malala Yousafzai made her Oscars’ debut and she instantly set the bar impossibly high in a silver sequined Ralph Lauren hooded gown. She looked like a feminine version of a knight in a shining armor.
Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga’s Versace gown came straight off the runway from the fall 2023 Versace collection. This simple black gown with a VERY low-cut back that could be inspiration for those looking to harken back to ‘less is more.’
Andrea Riseborough
This custom Alexander McQueen was made of pink lace. The gown looked very classic, accessorized with a metal ear cuff. It is a very refreshing Oscars’ look.
Cara Delevingne
This supermodel stood out in an Elie Saab red draped gown with a high thigh slit that brought glamour with a dose of sexiness. And the Bulgari jewelry didn’t hurt!!
Janelle Monae
Janelle Monae brought the va va voom to the Oscars’ red carpet in an orange and black Vera Wang ensemble. Now, pose that pose and show off that beautiful skin!!
Salma Hayek
Salma Hayek in a burnt orange-sequined gown by Gucci fit like a glow and really stood out on the red carpet. One of the best looks of the current awards season.
Rihanna
Ri-Ri was fashionably late in an incredible belly showing Alaïa with the leather detail wrapping around her neck and chest, perfectly framing her belly. Then comes a long leather train to top the whole look.
Jessica Chastain
Jessica Chastain arrived in a dazzling Gucci gown with a plunging bustline. This look was very Oscar appropriate.
Angela Bassett
Angela Bassett received lots of attention arriving in a royal purple Moschino gown. Her look was regal perfection.
