No matter how small or large a ceremony is, there’s one thought that immediately crosses our brain: how to dress the part. When the Oscar Awards aired on live television on March 27, many actors and actresses walked the red carpet wearing bold and classy outfits. These stars, with the help of their stylists, have created powerful looks that would make them stand out. After hours and hours of preparation, they are finally ready to start the night. Let’s take a look at the nominees and guests who have courageously taken on the show.
JADA PINKETT SMITH
When it comes to unique looks, actress Jada Pinkett Smith proved to be one of Hollywood’s most uniquely dressed stars. She wore a deep green dress by Jean-Paul Gaultier. The dress played with different styles to make the monochromatic look seem less simple. It had a high neckline, long sleeves and a ruched bottom that all flowed together. Smith’s outfit mixed the Gilded Age with a twist of luxury.
KODI SMIT-McPHEE
Another strong monochromatic look was seen on actor Kodi Smit-McPhee. The Best Supporting Actor Nominee wore a custom pastel blue tuxedo by Bottega Veneta. Despite the suit sticking to a single color, several small accents were implemented that completed the entire outfit, including the double-breasted tux, platformed shoes and diamond choker. This look was an elegant modern fantasy.
SIMU LIU
The custom tuxedo looks continue to remain popular on the carpet, as seen by the actor of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Simu Liu, who chose Versace to design his tuxedo for the event. The tux’s bold red color drew the attention of many people. A bright gold watch sat on his wrist, making him look high-class and expensive. Styled with a black bowtie and matching black shoes, Liu wore one of the most striking looks of the night.
Zendaya
Dune actress, Zendaya, walked the carpet wearing Valentino. She paired a cropped button-up with a long, shimmering skirt. Although her outfit may come off as plain, her classic makeup and updo helped pull the look together. Not to mention the different textures and accessories she used. This is yet another wardrobe success by her stylists. Zendaya lit up the carpet with her shiny appearance.
NICOLE KIDMAN
Best Actress Nominee, Nicole Kidman, strutted the carpet wearing a custom gown by Armani Prive. The longtime actress contributed to designing her dress, as she chose the specific color that she wanted it to be dyed. Not only is the color stunning, but the structure of the dress itself fits Kidman like a glove. Her sophisticated yet stylish look proved that she was no novice in the industry.
It’s no doubt that the Oscars was a long night of celebration and honor, but it was also a prestigious showcase for celebrity style. Throughout the night, we’ve seen looks that embodied, challenged and inspired today’s definition of fashion. From glamourous dresses to dashing tuxedos, the Oscar Awards showed that Hollywood’s biggest names can impress both onscreen and offscreen.
