After months of anticipation, the biggest night in cinema has finally arrived: the 2026 Oscars.
Stars are gathering at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday to celebrate the best films of the year at the 98th Academy Awards.

The looks on the Oscars red carpet, on the other hand, were more obvious hits (or misses). When Chase Infiniti arrived in custom Louis Vuitton, it was clear she'd be making the best-dressed list, as was the case with Rose Byrne in Dior.
Take a look at the best looks celebrities wore to the 2026 Oscars.
