The 98th annual Academy Awards, taking place tonight at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles and hosted for the second year in a row by comedian Conan O’Brien, marks the end — and the pinnacle — of awards season.
The long list of celebrities on the carpet this evening included presenters Rose Byrne, Nicole Kidman, Anne Hathaway, Pedro Pascal and Channing Tatum as well as nominees like Timothée Chalamet, Michael B. Jordan and Emma Stone. EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami from KPop Demon Hunters shone in co-ordinating black-and-gold looks.
Aside from a few pops of colour, black-and-white looks and classic suiting in neutral tones dominated this year’s arrivals. There were also many sleek column gowns, reflecting the return of ’90s-era minimalism.
See all the standout looks from Hollywood’s biggest night below.
