Chase Infiniti, Anne Hathaway and More of Our Fave Looks From the 2026 Oscars

In case you missed it, the 98th Academy Awards were on Sunday, March 15, and the stars of 2025’s biggest films did not come to mess around.
That sentiment was also true for the many radiant red carpet looks, with Hollywood’s brightest stars in attendance wearing their very best designer duds. While the ceremony is, of course, always a good time for movie lovers, there’s no denying that, for fashion fans, the true main event remains seeing all the breathtaking gowns and daring suits as the stars make their way into the theater.
With this in mind, we’ve rounded up just a few of our absolute favorite looks from the annual event for your viewing pleasure, presented in no particular order.
Teyana Taylor

Nominated for Best Actress for her role in One Battle After Another, Taylor has been exceptionally fun to watch all awards season long for her stellar fashion choices, and she pulled out all the stops with this sensational Chanel number and jewelry by Tiffany & Co. From the sheer paneling on her midriff to the fabulous, feather-like detail lining the train, it was a look true to her signature style, while still surprising fans with something a little different.
Barbie Ferreira

And speaking of “something a little different,” Ferreira rocked this vibrant number designed by Zac Posen for GapStudio, complete with a corset-style top and buttons running down the front of the skirt. As reported by InStyle, the piece was crafted with “70 bones” to provide that structured silhouette, with Posen also stating that “the gown captures that relaxed gesture of tying a shirt around the waist,” adding that it was “exciting to play with the idea of something effortless translated for the red carpet.”
Lauren Chan
Structured silhouettes were a big hit on this year’s carpet, and another fantastic example of this trend was Chan’s black and white number by Leeland Mitchell. From the crisp, white ruffled neckline to the sleek, floor-length black skirt, the model’s designer look was the definition of show-stopping.
Wunmi Mosaku

Meanwhile, Mosaku, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Sinners, looked like a jewel come to life in this shimmering emerald gown by Louis Vuitton. With a uniquely asymmetrical neckline, cutouts on the shoulders and a silhouette that hugged her adorable baby bump, the actress more than “glowed” on the red carpet—she downright sparkled.
Anne Hathaway

Attending the ceremony as a presenter, Hathaway walked the red carpet in a Valentino gown so dramatic, it would’ve made Miranda Priestly proud (despite her well-documented feelings on the whole “florals for spring” thing). From the rich black shade to the stark floral pattern to the unique mermaid cut and thick belt cinching her waist, the look absolutely screamed “Oscar-worthy.”
Molly Sims
Sims arrived on the red carpet looking like a ray of sunshine in this butter yellow gown by Monique Lhuillier. From the voluminous skirt to the high-low hemline for a peek of leg, the piece was wondrous, whimsical and one-of-a-kind, expertly matching the gorgeous yellow diamond on her necklace.
Roshumba Williams

Williams certainly knows a thing or two about rocking a red carpet, as the fashion industry icon has been doing so for literal decades. This year, the prolific model debuted a red ombre design by Project Runway winner Veejay Floresca. The look utilized multiple trends seen throughout the evening’s red carpet (feathers, sleeveless styles, statement jewelry, etc.), taking them up a notch for one standout, stylish moment.
Chase Infiniti

Infiniti—who was in attendance to support her film One Battle After Another, which was nominated for 13 awards, including Best Picture—has provided a welcome pop of color on every red carpet she’s attended recently. Still, her Oscars look just might be her best yet! As reported by Vogue, this lovely lilac number by Louis Vuitton took “750 hours” to complete, and the hard work clearly paid off, leaving the actress looking like a Disney princess as she floated down the red carpet.
Heidi Klum
And of course, Klum kept things classic with this nude and pearl number by celeb-favorite designer Chrome Hearts. The delicate detailing of the design created a beautiful pattern throughout the semi-sheer garment, hugging the model’s figure, balancing trendy and timeless vibes in a way only Klum could.
