Zendaya, Margot Robbie, and Emily Blunt were among the stars wearing sparkling outfits on the Oscars 2024 red carpet.
The Oscars’ shimmering theme was fitting, but no single trend dominated celebrity attire.
Stars sparkled in black and pink at the event, including actress Margot Robbie in a surprise black dress.
Her shimmering strapless outfit was straight off Versace’s Milan Fashion Week runway. Robbie opted for a subtle look, recreating Barbie outfits on the red carpet over the past year.
Dune: Part Two star Zendaya wore an iridescent purple dress from Armani Prive, which had a black sparkling bodice and palm tree-inspired detailing.
Emily Blunt, nominated for the supporting actress gong for her role in Oppenheimer, wore a fashion label that has dominated the red carpet for this awards season: Schiaparelli.
The Italian fashion house is known for polished, surreal designs. Blunt’s sparkling outfit had structured straps and cheeky Y-fronts. It was paired with Tiffany & Co. jewelry.
Barbie star America Ferrera wore a pink chainmail Versace gown, similar to Margot Robbie’s.
Moreover, while Robbie’s outfit had a vintage look, Ferrera’s outfit was custom-made.
Florence Pugh wore Del Core, a new Milanese label, to the Oscars, among big fashion houses.
The bedazzled architectural bodice of the gown was matched perfectly by the statement snake-style Bulgari necklace.
Emma Stone was one of the celebrities who opted against sparkles on the red carpet.
Her awards season fashion has been heavily inspired by the 18th-century costuming of her character Bella Baxter in Poor Things, which has earned her a nomination for the best actress gong.
Her Oscars outfit was no different: a pale green strapless dress with dramatic peplum detailing and a light brocade pattern. Fresh off attending Louis Vuitton’s star-studded Paris Fashion Week show last Tuesday, Stone again chose a custom look from the French label.
Stone was not the only star in Louis Vuitton – Cynthia Erivo seemed to be channeling her character Elphaba in the upcoming film Wicked. Her leather-look green Oscar gown had sculptural statement shoulders, with ruffled fabric strings hanging behind her.
Erivo’s Wicked co-star, Ariana Grande, also seemed inspired by her character in the film, Glinda.
She wore a pastel pink Giambattista Valli Haute Couture gown with puffy sleeves and a long train.
Anya Taylor-Joy wore a Dior gown referencing the famous ‘Junon’ dress designed by Christian Dior in 1949.
The original gown had a white bodice and a voluminous skirt of heavily beaded ‘petals.’ Additionally, Taylor-Joy’s outfit had similar petal detailing on the dress, with a few key differences – the overall color was more silvery grey, and the petals were more minor, making for a column-style silhouette.
Jennifer Lawrence wore a polka dot strapless dress by Dior, one of the few patterned looks at the event.
Actress Kirsten Dunst channeled Nineties minimalism in her all-white outfit. The Gucci gown had a square neckline, low back, spaghetti straps, bold red lips, and loose hair.
Dunst is getting close to Gucci. She attended their Milan Fashion Week show.
Nominated for best supporting actress for her role in The Color Purple, Danielle Brooks wore a timeless all-black Dolce & Gabbana look.
The strapless gown had silver detailing on the bodice, a thigh-high leg slit, and a dramatic bow with a train.
Lupita Nyong’o, who 2014 won the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in 12 Years an Enslaved Person, wore a sparkling lilac gown with feather detailing from Armani Prive.
The pastel color and deep-V neckline almost felt reminiscent of the pale blue Prada gown she wore to the 2014 Oscars.
