Hollywood’s biggest stars are descending upon the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles for the 97th Annual Academy Awards, turning the famed boulevard into a dazzling spectacle of high fashion and cinematic prestige.

A-list celebrities arrived one by one, each making their grand entrance on the iconic red carpet. From industry veterans to breakout stars, the event brought together the most celebrated names in film, all vying for the most coveted golden statue in Hollywood.

This year’s Oscars promise to be one of the most unpredictable yet, with acclaimed films like Wicked, Conclave, The Brutalist, and Emilia Pérez all in the running for Best Picture.

Adding to the excitement, legendary comedian Conan O’Brien takes on hosting duties for the first time, bringing his signature wit and sharp humor to the ceremony.

As flashbulbs lit up the night, A-listers showcased show-stopping ensembles that will no doubt be the subject of endless fashion discussions. Bold colors, daring silhouettes, and jaw-dropping accessories are dominating the red carpet this year, with designers pulling out all the stops to dress Hollywood’s elite for the grand occasion.

Here are some of the best looks as stars arrive for the night...

Ariana Grane looks absolutely breathtaking as she walks the red carpet:

Wicked star Marissa Bode with a nod to the iconic 'red slippers' from the Wizard of Oz:

Selena Gomez brings a touch of Old Hollywood glamor to the red carpet:

Snow White star Rachel Zegler looks radiant:

The Substance star Margaret Qualley stands out in black:

Best Actor nominee Timothée Chalamet shines bright:

Comedian Amelia Dimoldenberg looks sensational tonight:

With Hollywood’s biggest night in full swing, all eyes are on several nominees who could make history before the evening is over.

Among the most closely watched categories is Best Actress, where Wicked star Cynthia Erivo is on the verge of making EGOT history if she takes home the golden statue.

Meanwhile, fellow nominee Fernanda Torres could become the first Brazilian actress to ever win the award, and Karla Sofía Gascón has the chance to break barriers as the first openly trans actor to win an Academy Award.

The Best Actor category is just as historic, with Sing Sing star Colman Domingo poised to become the first Afro-Latino to win the award. And in the Best Director race, The Substance filmmaker Coralie Fargeat could join the ranks of Kathryn Bigelow, Chloé Zhao, and Jane Campion as only the fourth woman to take home the prestigious directing prize.

Meanwhile, legendary songwriter Diane Warren, who has been nominated 16 times for Best Original Song, is hoping this will finally be the year she secures a long-overdue Oscar victory.

As the night unfolds, the Dolby Theatre is filled with excitement, anticipation, and the promise of cinematic history in the making. Whether it's a long-awaited win, a barrier-breaking achievement, or a moment that will be talked about for years to come, the 97th Academy Awards is shaping up to be an unforgettable night in Hollywood.

Last night's 93rd Academy Awards saw some of Hollywood's elite recognized with the greatest prize in filmmaking.

With starts like Sir Anthony Hopkins and Daniel Kaluuya scooping the Oscars in the acting categories, and Chloe Zhao becoming the first woman of color and second woman ever to win Best Director, there is no denying that the ceremony celebrated a variety of different people for a variety of different talents.

But enough about acting, talents, and movies - let's talk about clothes.

The Oscars red carpet is always an opportunity for any star to show off their best look of the year, and last night was no exception. Viewers were treated to some jaw-dropping and stunning outfits - and I'm sure we'll all agree that they should start issuing an award for Best Dressed.

Anyways, let's take a look at these award-winning looks. And the nominees are...

Halle Berry looked absolutely sensational showing off her Dolce & Gabbana gown, while also wowing viewers with a gorgeous bob hairdo that frames her face. She looked every bit the superhero she is!

Zendaya not only looked incredible in her yellow Valentino gown, but she was also decked out in $6 million worth of Bulgari jewelry. That's how you make a statement on a red carpet.

A real lady in red, Best Supporting Actress nominee Amanda Seyfried looked radiant in her Armani dress.

Despite going home empty-handed, Regina King looked more of a Queen on the red carpet in her powerful Louis Vuitton gown.

Glittered in gold from head to toe, Andra Day may have missed out on Best Actress, but this Vera Wang dress certainly put her in contention for best dressed.

There were a lot of sharp suits to choose from on the red carpet last night, but Hamilton star Leslie Odom Jr.'s Oscar-like gold Brioni suit looked perfect for the occasion.

Praised for their representation of diversity, the stars and producers of Crip Camp - which sadly lost out in the Best Documentary category - lit up the red carpet in their respective outfits. After sharing a picture to Twitter from the red carpet, one fan responded: "As a disabled teenager, this is the coolest thing I've ever seen."

Carey Mulligan may have missed out on the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in The Promising Young Woman, but I'm sure being dripped in a metallic Valentino gown helped ease the pain.

Nominated for her track 'Fight For You' from Judas And The Black Messiah, H.E.R made sure all eyes were on her in this gorgeous violet Dundas jumpsuit.

Nine-year-old breakout star Alan Kim and producer Christina Oh both looked effortlessly cool on the red carpet. It was Kim's first-ever Academy Awards (and we're sure it won't be his last), and he made an impact in his adorable Thom Browne shorts suit.

The Oscars are a big deal, a huge deal, an even bigger deal than FN2187 in that war in space franchise. Anyway, the Academy Awards is the event in the Hollywood calendar that sees more than just the stars nominated popping out of the metaphorical woodwork in their finery.

The event is known to attract those from all across the world of popular media, music, TV, film, philanthropy, you name it. The word "finery" could not be more paramount. The red carpet is quite easily thought of in layman's terms as a catwalk and fashion show. Those who follow the esteemed event will struggle to disagree and will likely be distracted by the garments of past Oscars attendees anyway.

And so as you have probably guessed by now, we are here to list, in no particular order, as usual, 30 red carpet-outfits from The Oscars in recent years that have left a mark on the global beholders eager for a glimpse of these influential trendsetters! Daniel Kaluuya was dressed for victory after all!

[post_page_title]#1 Keira Knightly[/post_page_title]

At the 78th incarnation of the Oscars in 2006, Kierra Knightly was nominated for her role in Pride and Prejudice, and her attire for the evening was rather fitting.

The British actress chose to wear something 70% classy matched 30% fancy, and it's safe to say, it went down well. A far cry from football shorts or pirate attire anyway!

[post_page_title]#2 Nicole Kidman[/post_page_title]

At the 2018 Oscars, the seminal Hollywood name that is Nicole Kidman chose to rock-up in this ambitious blue-number that is certainly memorable but in a way that I'm not quite sure how to articulate.

The star has a tremendous habit to look great whatever she wears, but as much as she does here, this is still at least minorly questionable.

[post_page_title]#3 Saoirse Ronan[/post_page_title]

Another from the prestigious ceremonies 90th iteration in 2018, we have how to dress up and down simultaneously without overdoing it either.

Ronan's dress is memorable for all the right reasons, simple, classy, and as much as I hate to use the term, pretty in pink. Saoirse Ronan seems well aware that sometimes, the classics and simplicity never go out of style.

[post_page_title]#4 TimothŽe Chalamet[/post_page_title]

Again in 2018, Interstellar star, TimothŽe Chalamet, chose to walk-up-and-down the red carpet in a crisp slim-fit suit that blended in well enough with the night's proceedings.

It's a good job that he didn't opt for white shoes because that would be overkill.

[post_page_title]#5 Jennifer Aniston[/post_page_title]

At the 78th awards in 2006, the star-studded attendees and famous faces were graced by Jennifer Aniston who is memorable and beloved enough for her role as the ever-confused Rachel from Friends.

The star, who never really seems to age much at all, chose to adorn a classy, simply dress for the evening and rocked it.

[post_page_title]#6 Dolly Parton[/post_page_title]

Still, in 2006, we have what Dolly Parton wore to 78th Annual Academy Awards. Did you expect anything less from the illustrious Country-singer and American household name?

Do even try to say yes or answer that in anything other than a resounding agreement with my statement, now! All things considered, she looks fabulous, and this is surprisingly tame compared to her attire at most of her own events!

[post_page_title]#7 Nicole Kidman (Again)[/post_page_title]

The year 2007 saw the 79th edition of the awards and also saw Nicole Kidman not only walk the carpet and own it as she usually does but become the carpet in her elegant yet ambitious dress.

To be completely honest, I could easily do a list entirely dedicated to the star herself considering the variety in which she chooses to dress herself in at ceremonies such as this.

[post_page_title]#8 Beyoncé Knowles[/post_page_title]

At the very same 79th event in 2007, the stars were in abundance and Beyoncé, as usual, was eager to stand out and make her mark.

Simple, yet standout and classy, the singer-superstar did what she does best like the icon she is for many.

[post_page_title]#9 Halle Berry[/post_page_title]

The 74th annual awards in 2002 saw Halle Berry wear something ambitious enough that it split critics and got slated in the online world perhaps a little unfairly.

The unwritten rule - although I'm sure it is written somewhere - is that these awards are not for casual and or attire that is a little too normal. In essence, there are no rules, and Halle did a great job working through this mantra!

[post_page_title]#10 Cameron Diaz[/post_page_title]

Cameron Diaz wore this confusing, but not horrible, dress and the 74th Oscars ceremony in 2002.

When I was scrolling through the near-inexhaustible archives of photos focused on this yearly event, I initially thought Diaz was wearing a strawberries and cream themed dress, but then I looked out the window and looked at the British rain and negated such wishful thinking and dreams of summer.

She looks nice, it's just, a little odd.

[post_page_title]#11 Robin Williams[/post_page_title]

I felt I had to put this one in honor of such a great man. Robin Williams in 2005 at the 77th annual shindig went for a twist on the traditional dress and owned it.

Rest easy my good man.

[post_page_title]#12 Prince[/post_page_title]

Sticking with the same year above, we have another star that was lost in recent years, the iconic and unequivocally idiosyncratic, Prince.

I mean, what else would he wear? Come on now.

[post_page_title]#13 Sarah Jessica Parker[/post_page_title]

In 2009, Sex In The City star, Sarah Jessica Parker wore a dress befitting of her tendency to look consistently glamourous.

Sometimes, things are memorable because they aren't. Fashion is weird.

[post_page_title]#14 Zoe Saldana[/post_page_title]

Actress Zoe Saldana at the 82nd event 2010 wore perhaps my favorite on this list based on its tonal color-scheme alone!

The American actress' dress was nothing overtly weird and wonderful in its shape or design, flash, maybe but that's as far as that went. However, her gradual tonal color choices saw her stand out even more away from her beaming smile.

[post_page_title]#15 Jennifer Lopez[/post_page_title]

J.Lo is another that warrants a list of her own, one that would absolutely have this image front and center. This one was taken from her attire in attendance at the 82nd Oscars in 2010.

Jennifer is another on this list of stars in the sky that apparently doesn't age and looks exactly like the above to this day.

Well, I mean, I would assume she's got changed a few hundred times.

[post_page_title]#16 Scarlett Johansson[/post_page_title]

At the 83rd iteration of the awards and fabled red carpet flaunt-fest, Scarlett Johansson showed the world how seamless her looking the part really is for her to achieve.

As you'd expect, the now 35-year-old actress is another always manages to look amazing and yet, you guessed, DOESN'T AGE!

We are over the halfway line here and I'm half tempted to rename this list in honor of those who age, so, so well.

[post_page_title]#17 will.i.am[/post_page_title]

When I was scrolling through images of the 87th Academy Awards, I saw out of the corner of my eye, this human being and felt he had to go in.

The Oscars and ceremonies like it are ample occasions for stars and attendees to flaunt their style and best attire in a manner that they have complete control over.

Are you really surprised here? I'm not! Hats off will.i.am!

[post_page_title]#19 Margot Robbie[/post_page_title]

The Australian actress continued with her well-known legacy for looking stunning, classy and standout the ceremonies of 2015.

And in the words of the great prophet Forrest Gump, that's all I have to say about that.

[post_page_title]#20 Rachel Weisz[/post_page_title]

However, to contrast much of the recent entries on this list, we have the other side of ambitious and one far nearer to plain damn weird. At the 91st edition, the most recent Oscars, Rachel Weiz caused a red alert.

I don't get it. Each to their own but quite expectedly, it caused quite a stir on the fashionista realms of the interwebs.

[post_page_title]#21 Linda Cardellini[/post_page_title]

The previous example was placed strategically. For this next example, also from the 91st awards in 2019, takes us further up the fashionably weird scale. Enter, actress, Linda Cardellini.

Is it a dress? Is she wearing it? Is it wearing her? Is it some sort of sentient symbiotic lifeform? So many questions.

[post_page_title]#22 Salma Hayek[/post_page_title]

In 2018, Salma Hayek, who is another with the uncanny ability to look stunning in either anything she wears or most of the time, with little to no effort compared to her contemporaries, got a lot of stick for wearing this.

I don't get it, she's as effortlessly striking and memorable as she always is. But then again, what do I know?

[post_page_title]#23 Uma Thurman[/post_page_title]

The 76th annual Academy Awards saw Uma Thurman inspired by the attire of ancient Greece.

What else do you want me to say? The stewards wit clipboards to the right clearly agree.

[post_page_title]#24 Dianne Keaton[/post_page_title]

In 2004, Dianne Keaton completely owned the red carpet with this Mafia-esque attire at the Oscars event.

Is it memorable? Yes. Does it stand out? Yes. Is it a little abstract? Yes. Is it totally her? Hell yeah.

[post_page_title]#25 Whoopi Goldberg[/post_page_title]

At the 81st Oscars shindig that took place in 2009, Whoopi Goldberg wore this.

And no one was surprised.

[post_page_title]#26 John Travolta[/post_page_title]

John Travolta is smart, suave, sexy, sophisticated. These are all words that are pretty generally associated with his name and to be honest, always have been. The Grease star, again, pretty generally, looks his best. Usually.

It is time to be brutally honest now, at these ceremonies, most male stars tend to look remarkably similar, so when they do stand out, it's more than noticeable. What is going on with that chain?

[post_page_title]#27 Mikey Rourke[/post_page_title]

Please read the closing statement on the previous entry before scrolling. Read it? Good. Enter Mickey Rourke.

I'm not saying he doesn't look good, because he absolutely and undeniably does! But yeah, as expected, the internet took to his outfit choice a little negatively.

[post_page_title]#28 Celion Dion[/post_page_title]

Ah, the '90s weren't they great! Well, so I'm told, having only been born in 1991, I can't recall too much more than, well, not a lot. Who knows what I got up to! Anyway, look at this one from 1999, via voicebox-star Celine Dion.

Smart, sophisticated and really not what you'd think to see at such an event but there we go, the 90s!

[post_page_title]#29 Janelle Monae[/post_page_title]

The year 2017 saw Janelle Monae attend the proceedings in Hollywood-town with this ambitious, stand-out and quite frankly stunning number. The singer is known for owning her abstract attire on stage so why should it be any different on the prestigious red carpet?

It shouldn't. At all.

[post_page_title]#30 Tonya Lewis Lee and Spike Lee[/post_page_title]

Closing this list, we have an example from 2019 and the most recent festivities. Much like the other past events, the 91st saw a huge star-studded group full of the notorious names from Hollywood and further. As per usual, the garments adorned for such an event were nothing but interesting.

Individually these outfits would be perhaps a little precarious, but together, they are complementary, contrasting and unstoppable.

Here to many more years of "interesting" outfits!

Sunday night marks the 95th Academy Awards! And after last year's drama (nobody mention the slap), it looks like Oscars officials after keeping things fresh.

Yes, tonight mark's the biggest event on the movie calendar - and possibly the biggest night of awards season: the prestigious Academy Awards.

And if you're anything like me, you're probably sitting back, preparing to watch the evening's events unfold, and putting bets on which "comedian" will be the first to bring up Will Smith. (Darn, I mentioned it.)

But as the biggest stars of Hollywood walk the red carpet, some of you may have noticed a big change to the usual pomp and circumstance that we're used to seeing... the red carpet isn't actually red.

Yes, for the first time since 1961, per AP, the red carpet is no longer its iconic red color - instead, it looks the same color as the new rug my nan's had fitted in her living room. Only, the Oscars are apparently calling this color "champagne", whereas my nan calls it "light beige". Who knew?

The champagne carpet was first seen on Wednesday, when worker unspooled it outside of the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, where this evening's proceedings will take place.

And although it may not seem like a big deal, just bare in mind that the last time the red carpet wasn't red, Elizabeth Taylor was winning Best Actress for BUtterfield 8 and The Apartment won for Best Motion Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay.

Ever since then - for 62 years - the carpet has always been some shade of red.

Speaking about the big change, tonight's host Jimmy Kimmel said: "I think the decision to go with a champagne carpet over a red carpet shows how confident we are that no blood will be shed."

Once again, what on Earth could he be talking about??

Oh yeah... this:

Good luck to all of tonight's nominees:
