Emma Stone, Anne Hathaway and Gwyneth Paltrow channeled timeless Hollywood glamour as they emerged among the most stylish stars on the red carpet at Sunday night’s 98th Academy Awards.

Hamnet star Jessie Buckley, 36, leads our best dressed list in a breathtaking satin off-the-shoulder Chanel gown, completely debunking the unspoken fashion rule that pink and red shouldn’t go together. Rose Byrne, 46, who is nominated for Best Actress for her role in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, was the most effortlessly chic of the night, a complete picture in a black strapless gown with floral embellishment.

Moana star Auliʻi Cravalho, 25, meanwhile, turned heads with her dazzling seafoam green number complete with a daring yet stunning tulip-style detail on the bust.

These are the stars who shone the brightest on the 2026 Oscars red carpet.
