The night movie lovers were waiting for finally came: The 98th Academy Awards brought A-listers to L.A.'s Dolby Theater to celebrate the very best the silver screen had to offer. As the cap-off to the 2026 awards season, the March 15 ceremony hosted by Conan O'Brien was always going to be eventful. But before the first golden statue was handed out, we tuned into what was even more eventful (at least for fashion fans): the Oscars red carpet.

2026's list of nominees was stacked, so the red carpet was primed for some memorable looks. Bugonia star Emma Stone and first-time nominee Jessie Buckley, both up for lead actress, looked unbelievable in Louis Vuitton and custom Chanel, respectively. Other Oscars newcomers included supporting actress nominees Elle Fanning and Teyana Taylor (a recent Marie Claire cover star), both of whom marked the occasion with jaw-dropping looks worthy of the 2026 Oscars' best-dressed list.

Keep scrolling to see what your favorite star wore for the biggest night in Hollywood, and catch up on Marie Claire's live red carpet coverage for more insider details. (The gowns didn't stop there: we also covered every buzzworthy arrival live at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.)
