The award season train has reached its final station: The 96th annual Academy Awards. After months of speeches, audience reaction shots, online discussion, and presenter bits—both successful and not—film’s biggest night is finally upon us. Will Oppenheimer end its successful run this season with the ultimate Best Picture win, or will an underdog like Past Lives or Anatomy of a Fall sneak in at the last minute? Who will take home what has likely been the most debated award of this year, Best Actress? And will Jimmy Kimmel bring laughs or prove the futility of award show hosts once and for all?
These questions and more will be answered now that the stars are descending the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, but first comes the red carpet. Margot Robbie has one last chance to embody Barbie before the clock strikes midnight on the film season, and Emma Stone has a whole new array of Louis Vuitton wares to pick from. But what will Lily Gladstone, Colman Domingo, and other nominees wear on this big night? Plus, the return of former winners means the red carpet will be filled with A-listers showing off their best evening attire, and the promise of a Zendaya appearance guarantees we’re in for quite a night, style-wise. So, before we get to the films, let’s take a much-deserved moment to enjoy the fashion.
