Oscars red carpet: Stars and fashion in pictures

If the Oscars gave out an award for best dressed, it would be the most hotly contested prize of the night.

Hollywood’s biggest stars turned on the style as they walked the red carpet for the glittering ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday.

They included One Battle After Another’s Chase Infiniti (below), who has announced herself as both a major actress and a fashion icon this year, and who wore a lavender custom Louis Vuitton gown.

Rose Byrne, who was nominated for If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, wore a black custom Dior dress embroidered with an intricate floral pattern.

Hamnet star Jessie Buckley capped off an awards campaign for the ages in red and pink – a change from her usually subdued colour palette.

British actress Wunmi Mosaku, nominated for best supporting actress for Sinners, cradled her baby bump in a glittering gown with a cut-out shoulder.

Norwegian actress Renate Reinsve, nominated for Sentimental Value, has favoured Louis Vuitton throughout her awards season campaign. For the Oscars, she wore a simple yet striking custom red Louis Vuitton dress by Nicolas Ghesquiere.

Demi Moore, last year nominated for her daring comeback role in The Substance, went full-on in feathers in a Gucci creation.

Best actress nominee Emma Stone arrived in a shimmering oyster Louis Vuitton gown.

Kate Hudson, who was nominated for best actress for Song Sung Blue, arrived with her mum Goldie Hawn – 56 years after she won an Oscar for Cactus Flower.

Teyana Taylor, as notable in awards season for her fashion choices as her performance in One Battle After Another, wore black-and-white custom Chanel.

One Battle After Another star Leonardo DiCaprio opted for a traditional black tuxedo, while fellow best actor nominee Timothée Chalamet, nominated for Marty Supreme, went for all white.

Sinners star Michael B Jordan ended up beating them both to the best actor award.

Pedro Pascal‘s oversized white floral brooch was so large he had no room for his bow tie or tuxedo.
