Best red carpet fashion at the 2023 Oscars
From Lady Gaga to Michelle Yeoh, see the best-dressed celebrities at the Academy Awards in Los Angeles.
The evening’s more adventurous men also embraced softer colors. Paul Mescal and Brian Tyree Henry were among several stars opting for cream tuxedo jackets. Harry Shum Jr. meanwhile broke with black-tie orthodoxy in a white jacket by Adeam — a label usually known for womenswear — that featured a thick fabric belt around the waist.
There were welcome pops of color, too. Hong Chau and Allison Williams both looked resplendent in sophisticated shades of pink, wearing dresses by Prada and Giambattista Valli, respectively. Angela Bassett meanwhile stunned in a custom ultraviolet mermaid gown by Moschino and Cara Delevingne turned heads in a dramatic red off-the-shoulder Elie Saab gown.
And stars from the music industry produced two of the event’s biggest fashion moments. Lady Gaga wore a fresh-off-the-catwalk sheer dress from Versace’s Fall-Winter 2023 collection, which debuted on the runway just three days ago, while Rihanna stunned in a leather Alaïa gown that accentuated her baby bump.
See below for some of the red carpet’s best looks.
