Each year the Oscars mark the end of awards season in Hollywood. Of course, it’s not just the most prestigious movie award show that brings together Tinseltown’s finest, it’s also one of the most important fashion events of the year. Celebrities and their stylists prepare for months to get just the right look. In fact, Halle Berry once said that getting ready for the Academy Awards was “more stressful” than actually walking down the red carpet.
Through the years the Academy Awards red carpet has given us so many memorable moments—Gwyneth Paltrow’s pale pink Ralph Lauren taffeta dress, Jennifer Lawrence’s strapless Dior gown (which later tripped the actress on her way to receive the award), and Lupita Nyong’o’s custom V-neck Prada dress in a shade which she called “Nairobi blue,” a nod to the Kenyan capital where she grew up.
And while events such as The Golden Globes and SAG awards also bring about many gorgeous looks, both designers and actors keep the best for last... and this year is no exception.
From Gemma Chan’s absolutely stunning magenta Valentino Couture gown to Nicholas Hoult’s unique Dior tuxedo, see the most stylish celebrities that walked the red carpet of the 91st Academy Awards.

Emma Stone’s Louis Vuitton dress proves details matter—it has a simple silhouette but the exaggerated shoulders make all the difference.
Lady Gaga
Gaga may have opted for classic black but the design of her Alexander McQueen gown was anything but classic—the exaggerated hips totally stole the show. And we are not mad about her leather gloves either.

The actress is definitely having fun in this pink Schiaparelli Haute Couture dress and Harry Winston jewelry.
