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...

1. Halle Berry

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!

2. Zendaya

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.

3. Amanda Seyfried

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.

5. Andra Day

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.

6. Leslie Odom Jr.

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.

7. The cast of Crip Camp

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."

8. Carey Mulligan

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.

 9. H.E.R

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.
