Posted on March 18, 2026

We still have a ton of after-party looks to discuss, but we think it’s more than past time for us to put the 2026 Oscars red carpet to bed, good and judged. If you’ve missed any of our coverage you should be deeply ashamed of yourself and commit to getting caught up here. For those faithful folks who have been hanging onto our every word, let’s scroll down together and be bitches about it.

 

 

Alana Haim in Louis Vuitton

Alicia Silverstone in Christian Siriano

Ooof. Honey. The design is unflattering and the style is so stale it’s growing penicillin.

 

Ariana Greenblatt in John Galliano

This has got kind of a cool, rocker chick vibe to it, helped along by the styling. It’s still a little too bridal, however.

 

Audrey Nuna in Thom Browne

All three of the HUNTR/X ladies dressed in gold for the red carpet, which is the kind of theme-dressing we can get behind. This is strangely powerful but also beautiful. It’s giving Bene Gesserit at the Met Gala.

 

Auli’i Cravalho in Antonio Marras

Putting aside the question of how any designer could come up with this and then render it, we just don’t understand how anyone else would choose to wear this ugly-ass design in public.

 

Barbie Ferreira in GapStudio by Zac Posen

Beautiful color, but the bodice is way too tight on her.

 

EJAE in Dior
Pin

Gorgeous. We could’ve done without the fringe, but the black embellishments are really sharp.

 

Felicity Jones in Prada
Pin

That’s a very unflattering yellow and a somewhat unflattering silhouette.

 

Fran Drescher in Ami Paris
Pin

Can’t argue with that. Love the big hair.

 

Ginnifer Goodwin in Monse
Pin

As sheer black lacey dresses go, this is one of the prettier and more chic that we’ve seen lately.

 

Heidi Klum in Chrome Hearts
Pin

It looks cheap. The beading is overdone and the backing color is dreary.

 

Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas in Loewe
Pin

We wouldn’t count it among our favorite dresses of the night but it suits both her preference to be a little odd and her preference to be very low-key.

 

Jayme Lawson in Loewe
Pin

Gorgeous color, but the shape is terrible and it looks ridiculously heavy.

 

Kathy Bates in Vera Wang
Pin

That color doesn’t look all that great on her, but the dress is lovely; very grande dame.

 

Kerry Condon in Armani Privé 
Pin

Sharp, chic and sexy. A personal best for her.

 

Kirsten Dunst in Celine
Pin

We dislike tiered dresses but this is so elegantly restrained and chic. We like that the styling is low key. This dress doesn’t need the help.

 

 

Maya Rudolph in Chanel
Pin

Another tiered gown we don’t mind, although we dislike the non-sleeves and the feathers.

 

Mckenna Grace in Vera Wang
Pin

As we said in our Cosmo writeup, you won’t find a more perfect take on classic ingenue style than this. Every fashion-minded celebrity girlie should try this sort of Audrey-esque look at least once in her career.

 

Misty Copeland in David Koma
Pin

We can’t say we’re loving the design, but the little tutu peplum made us smile.

 

 

Priyanka Chopra Jonas (in Dior) and Nick Jonas (in Ralph Lauren)
Pin

We don’t like her fuzzy trim at all but overall they look nice.

 

Rei Ami in Rahul Mishra
Pin

The coat is absolutely stunning but the dress is proportionally too short for it.

 

Regina Hall in Yara Shoemaker
Pin

We’re surprised to admit that we love that exuberant bustline but we hate the gold panel.

 

Rita Wilson in Jenny Packham
Pin

Acceptable and pretty.

 

Vicky Krieps in Bottega Veneta
Pin

God, can the fuzzy dress trend please die, already?
