The 98th Oscars: Best Looks
March 16, 2026 | 10:30 PM
The Oscars have been around for nearly a century. Established in 1927 by Louis B. Mayer, the ceremony was created to honour excellence in film — but over time, it has become just as significant for fashion.
The red carpet is no longer just a prelude to the awards. It is a moment in itself. Designers, stylists, and actors come together to create looks that often define the visual identity of an entire year in fashion.
At the 98th Oscars, the balance between classic Hollywood glamour and modern styling was particularly evident. There was a noticeable return to structure — sharp tailoring, sculpted silhouettes, and deliberate simplicity — while still allowing moments of softness through fabric and movement.
What makes the Oscars distinct from other red carpets is its sense of permanence. These are not looks designed to disappear within a news cycle. They are designed to be remembered, referenced, and revisited.
Below, the standout looks from the night.
