Tonight’s event is expected to be a fashionable one, with rumors already starting to spread about what some of our favorite nominated attendees are going to walk the red carpet wearing. Will Timothée Chalamet, who will be presenting, show up in a corset like Twitter predicted? A girl can only dream. What about the rest of his Little Women cast? Sequins for Florence? Chain-link for Saoirse? And what couture frock will Cynthia Erivo choose for the final award show of her Harriet tour?
Find out the answers to all your burning questions of the night by clicking through our best-dressed picks from tonight’s Oscars red carpet.
Margaret Qualley in Chanel
It’s hard to imagine that Once Upon A Time In… Hollywood actress Margaret Qualley could look anything less than stunning in Chanel, and yet again, she’s done it, this time in a feathered LBD.
Rebel Wilson in Custom Jason Wu
Rebel Wilson is channeling all of Old Hollywood from Oscars’ past in this sparkling gold off-the-shoulder gown designed just for her by Jason Wu.
Regina King in Versace
If Beale Street Could Talk, it’d give Regina King one hell of a compliment for this form-fitting Versace gown.
Lucy Boynton in Chanel
From the Peter Pan collar and tuxedo bib to the mini black bows and pearl hair accessories, Lucy Boynton’s Oscars look is checking off all of our boxes.
Margot Robbie in Chanel
Are armbands making a comeback? According to Margot Robbie’s vintage Chanel dress, they most definitely should.
Renée Zellweger in Armani Privé
The Judy star was as much a shining ray of light as the character she portrayed in this white, one-shoulder Armani Privé dress.
Rooney Mara in Alexander McQueen
Between the cut-outs and hand-slashed lace, Rooney Mara’s Alexander McQueen gown was moody yet lovely, and totally set Mara apart from the rest of the attendees.
Brie Larson in Celine by Hedi Slimane

Florence Pugh in Custom Louis Vuitton
Florence Pugh joined a slew of attendees who chose to wear high-low silhouettes on tonight’s red carpet. And while we wouldn’t exactly say that we’re excited about the early 2010s trend making a comeback, this teal Louis Vuitton number has us reconsidering our disfavor.
Cynthia Erivo in Custom Versace
The Harriet star has had quite the red carpet run this season, shining in everything from custom Thom Browne to Valentino haute couture. This white and silver gown, though, which includes everything from a thigh-high slit to a voluminous petticoat, is her most dramatic one yet.
Kristen Wiig
Dressing like everyone’s favorite one-pan pasta dish is a surefire way to elicit double-takes the red carpet. Leave it to comedian Kristen Wiig to end up looking like a little more than just a snack.
Scarlett Johansson in Oscar de la Renta
ScarJo chose one of this season’s hottest runway trends to bring to the red carpet: corsets. This peek-a-boo silver number is designed by Oscar de la Renta.
Saoirse Ronan in Gucci
Saoirse Ronan received her first nomination when she was 13 for her role in Atonement. Out of all her Oscars looks, though, this lilac and black Gucci gown with a jellyfish peplum is her best one yet. Even better, it’s partially recycled: The black portion was taken from the BAFTAs gown she wore just last week.
Maya Rudolph in Valentino
Cut us a slice of this Maya Rudolph dazzling pumpkin pie-hued Valentino gown!
Natalie Portman in Custom Dior
For the 2020 Oscars, the Black Swan actress paired a custom Dior gown with a cape adorned with the names of three female directors who were snubbed by the Academy.
Penelope Cruz in Chanel

Sandra Oh in Elie Saab
Remember when Carrie Bradshaw got stood up by Aleksandr Petrovsky in Paris. But like Bradshaw, Sandra Oh’s night — and her epic Elie Saab gown — is only just beginning. Photo: Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic.
Olivia Coleman in Stella McCartney

Billy Porter in Giles Deacon
You know what they say: Dress for the award you want, which is exactly what the golden Pose star Billy Porter is doing tonight.
Julia Butters in Christian Siriano
Even bigger than her dreams of making it to the Oscars was Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood actress Julia Butters’ lifelong goal of wearing Christian Siriano. And tonight, both dreams came true.
Laura Dern in Armani
We’re getting “really good loving energy” from this pink and black Armani gown, glazed with black drip-drops on Marriage Story actress Laura Dern.
Kaitlyn Dever in Louis Vuitton
Booksmart actress Kaitlyn Dever got a head start on her Valentine’s Day look with this red Louis Vuitton strapless gown made of sustainable Tencel.
Beanie Feldstein in Custom Miu Miu
Beanie Feldstein is an absolute vision in this square-neck custom Miu Miu gown *chefs kiss*.
Billie Eilish in Chanel
When she won the top prize at the Grammy’s last month, Billie Eilish wore a slime-green rendition of a leisure suit from Gucci. She continued that theme for the Oscars with a Chanel boucle two-piece that’d freak out the other ladies at the country club.
Janelle Monae in Ralph Lauren
Janelle Monae never slacks on the red carpet, and this rhinestone-encrusted hooded Ralph Lauren gown just raised the dramatic bar for everyone else.
Charlize Theron in Dior
A lot of people wore black for tonight’s red carpet, so for Charlize Theron to stand out amongst the crowd is a feat in and of itself. The culprit? A two-piece corset-clad Dior gown that includes a sky-high slit and a sexy droop shoulder.
