Awards season has reached its grand finale. Today, the 98th Academy Awards unfolded at the Dolby Theatre, where Hollywood’s biggest stars gathered to celebrate the year’s most celebrated films. Hosted once again by Conan O’Brien, the ceremony promises the usual mix of cinematic triumph, emotional speeches—and, of course, exceptional fashion.
But before the academy reveals its choices, there’s the Oscars red carpet, which has long served as one of fashion’s most closely watched stages. And with this year’s guest list reading like a who’s who of modern Hollywood—nominees Teyana Taylor, Emma Stone, Jessie Buckley, Nicole Kidman, to name a few—you can bet there was plenty of style to rival the performances.
From dramatic silhouettes to impeccable tailoring, here are the best fashion moments from the 2026 Academy Awards red carpet.

Jonathan Anderson has always been heavily interested in film and the beast of Hollywood. One only has to notice his history with ambassadors—some of the most exciting acting talents of our generation like Greta Lee and Taylor Russell—to understand this connection. But he’s not alone in his fascination; he shares it with the late Christian Dior. The house of Dior’s connection to film, and to film stars, has been well documented on the red carpet throughout history, dating back to 1942, when Monsieur Dior designed the costumes for Le Lit A Colonnes before Dior was even Dior.
In 1950, Marlene Dietrich starred in Alfred Hitchcock’s Stage Fright wearing a jacket from Monsieur Dior’s 1949 Spring/Summer haute couture collection (“No Dior, no Dietrich,” was the famous line which stipulated she wouldn’t star in the Hitchcock film without Dior wardrobing), and from there, Christian Dior became couturier to the darlings of Hollywood, dressing everyone from Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly, and Sophia Loren.
Parallels can be drawn here between the late designer and Anderson, who showed his debut Cruise collection for the house last night. Who can forget his close relationship with director Luca Guadagnino and the role he played designing the costumes for both Challengers and Queer? So the news that his next show, Dior Cruise, would be in Los Angeles felt like no surprise. But what delights us all about Anderson is what we see go down the runway.
The show took place at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on Wednesday evening, outside, amongst a throng of parked vintage cars and faux street lights to create a film noir effect, and a soundtrack of Air’s Sexy Boy and Kelly Watch The Stars. Anderson’s formula at Dior is emerging ever-so-subtly, with the first three exits acting as different interpretations of the same silhouette. Last season it was miniature jackets with waterfall skirts; this season, it was a procession of pleated georgette dresses with a cluster of rosettes at the hip in yellow, purple, and black, followed by a Bar Jacket, frayed at the edges and paired with distressed blue jeans and a suede shoulder bag to dress it all down—a knack Anderson has always been deft at.
Then, all glamour. Silk slip dresses were gathered at the hip and adorned with floral appliqués, dresses were weighted with chiffon 3D poppy heads and beading, singular chainmail earrings that dripped from lobes and flora boas that trailed out of hems to the floor. Two notable collaborations emerged: one with the famed pop artist Ed Ruscha, who Anderson worked with with on shirting emblazoned with some of Ruscha’s classic slogans, and the other with his long term hero Philip Treacy, who created feather headdresses spelling out the words STAR, FLOW, and BUZZ. Some might recognize the silhouette from Isabella Blow’s famous BLOW headdress, which Treacy created for the late fashion icon.
There were plenty of references to those who have come before him, too. Like the reinterpreted Dior Saddle bags from Galliano’s era that have been adjusted into coin purse-like clutches, and larger, pillowy clutches featuring his famous newspaper print. The slouchy suede shoulder bag, too, came from Marc Bohan’s era, and as always we cannot look at appliqué and sequin floral dresses quite the same after Raf Simons’ stint.
All of this came together through the juxtaposition of additions like denim and plaid. Denim was distressed and the frayed gaps were embellished with diamontés, while plaid was cut in transparent chiffon, which was layered over exaggerated Bar Jackets and left to trail behind models, and simple button down shirts were adorned with Ruscha’s words. This inclusion of seemingly ordinary pieces felt like a perfect metaphor for the effect of Hollywood and Los Angeles as a whole. The proponent of a dream, the glamour of something seemingly ordinary that seen through rose colored glasses. Los Angeles is, after all, cloaked with an underbelly that collides with the sparkliness like no other place on earth. That’s part of what makes it so revered, and Anderson interprets this expertly through the lens of something new. If Hollywood is the “dream factory,” Anderson makes a compelling case for being a master manufacturer.
Is it just us, or did May really fly by? Perhaps it's because we've been busy. From the madness of the Met Gala to the Cannes Film Festival to a slew of designers showing their cruise collections, there has been so much fashion to intake. Or perhaps it's because we never really got the proper, consistent spring weather that we were desperately craving. Regardless of the reasoning, it's official summer—and our shopping is truly reflective of that. We've got dresses, sunglasses, and light neutral colors on our minds, as well as products that will help us achieve that summer glow that we all desire. With our winter clothes officially tucked away and our fingers crossed that the weather gods aren't playing tricks on us, our flip-flops are out, our SPF is on (as it is year-round, of course), and we're looking forward to spending weekends sunbathing in our favorite parks in our favorite mini dresses.
Ahead, the fashion pieces and beauty products that carried us throughout the month of May—and that will be carrying us through the rest of summer.
"I have a million pairs of ballet flats, but none with a tiny heel, and so Carel's Carlotta Ballet Flats have recently filled this void. Perfectly comfortable as daily drivers (even in NYC), their slim silhouette has garnered so many compliments in the weeks I've been wearing them. The perfect closed-toe summer shoe." - Ella O'Keeffe, Senior Fashion Editor
"Another item that has been recently added to my weekly rotation is these Aflalo jeans. I usually shy away from ripped denim however I unexpectedly tried these on in their NYC showroom and fell in love with their vintage wash and silhouette." - Ella O'Keeffe, Senior Fashion Editor
"It's the era of a mini dress. This summer, I’m looking to refresh my lineup with pieces that feel playful but still make a statement. I love this one from Taottao!" - Kala Herh, Social Strategy Lead
"I’m always on the hunt for sunglasses that make even the simplest outfit feel cooler, and the Maddy frames from OTRA do exactly that. I'll definitely be wearing them all summer long." - Kala Herh, Social Strategy Lead
"I can’t get enough of the fringe trend right now. This dress immediately caught my eye, and it’s already en route to me. They also have a matching scarf that I’m very tempted by." - Natasha Sheridan, Social Creative Lead
"This is definitely the next it girl brand. All of their pieces are so fun—I’m loving the texture throughout the collection, and the fact that everything is so comfortable is a huge win for me." - Natasha Sheridan, Social Creative Lead
"In the summer, I’m always reaching for pieces that are easy to throw on while still looking elevated and feeling comfortable—here she is. I never knew overalls could look so chic." - Natasha Sheridan, Social Creative Lead
"With warmer weather comes my yearly attempt to wear less black. Instead, I'm swapping in some lighter neutrals. This suede Teddy Blake in this perfect beige color is quickly becoming my daily go-to. And, as a girl who loves to throw stuff in a bag that I probably won't even need or use throughout the day, this is the perfect size." - Bianca Asare, Associate Editor
"I strongly believe that everyone needs a really good white button up shirt—preferably slightly oversized. This Home Of Hai top made of 100% dupion silk has quickly become one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe. It's classic, feels a little luxe, and is easy to pair." - Bianca Asare, Associate Editor
"I'm in the process of stocking up on easy to throw in pieces for summer that aren't completely basic. The ruffles, the buttons, the polka dots, and the halter neckline make this Damson Madder top the perfect elevated basic." - Bianca Asare, Associate Editor
"I am so obsessed with my new Prada Beauty lip balm in Noisette. It's the perfect shade of rose-petal mauve, and gives my lips a slight tint of color while hydrating and blurring. It's the perfect summer lip color." - Faith Xue, Editor-in-Chief
"Not a product but something worth investing in regardless. I recently got IPL on my face with Edita from Medispa by NOURA, and in the weeks following, I have been glowing up in the literal sense of the phrase. We targeted red spots and post-inflammatory acne marks and my skin tone has completely evened out. Slowly but surely!" - Ella O'Keeffe, Senior Fashion Editor
"Another, unglamorous thing I am attributing to having a good skin moment is Differin. After moving to NYC, my skin began to consistently become more congested and clogged, and so I finally decided to try Differin. It's been three months of consistent use and I am finally starting to notice a significant difference in texture and tone. Miracle product!" - Ella O'Keeffe, Senior Fashion Editor
"This Blue Lagoon cleansing balm has been my go-to this summer. It breaks down makeup, SPF, and every last trace of grime in seconds—without leaving skin greasy or stripped. The Icelandic microalgae complex is what initially intrigued me, and I have found that my skin has been less angry and reactive since I started using it." - Kala Herh, Social Strategy Lead
"I'm a sucker for a product where you can see the effects happen in real time. If you're into gommage-style exfoliation (and the satisfying dead-skin reveal), like me, you have to try the Dr. Melaxin Exfoliating Ampoule. You massage it onto dry skin, and the cellulose-based formula visibly lifts away dead skin cells without any harsh scrubbing." - Kala Herh, Social Strategy Lead
"While everyone else is leaning into gloss this season, I’ve been really into a vampy lip. This new lipstick from Christian Louboutin Beauty has been a staple because it has that rich, moody depth I love, but still feels surprisingly wearable for daytime. I feel like it especially looks good with a simple white tee and a pair of jeans." - Kala Herh, Social Strategy Lead
"I’m embarrassingly late to the Kosas hype, but there’s a reason Hailey Bieber swears by it. I’ll say it once and I’ll say it again: if it’s good enough for Mrs. Bieber, it’s good enough for me." - Natasha Sheridan, Social Creative Lead
"When I recently moved apartments, I was at the last minute packing stage where I was literally throwing random things in bags and boxes. Because of that, I had no idea where the products I was currently using were when I finally got to my new place. I luckily found this product, started using it, and don't think I'll ever stop. Aside from being the most fun and uplifting color, this ampoule is multi-functional: it brightens and energizes the skin while also providing a noticeable boost of hydration." - Bianca Asare, Associate Editor
"A setting spray that actually works and is actually hydrating? Hard to come by in my experience. This offers a natural, smooth finish that I love." - Bianca Asare, Associate Editor
"I'm obsessed with peptides and vitamin C in the formula, along with the fact that this lip smoothie is genuinely hydrating. But I'm also so obsessed with the sensory experience–the honey and vanilla paired with the results make this my favorite lip product." - Bianca Asare, Associate Editor
Naturally, Amal Clooney knows her way around a red carpet. Though you might be familiar with the star’s glamorous eveningwear moments, she’s also earned her fashion stripes for her unique collection of vintage pieces. That streak continued this week, when Clooney—along with husband George Clooney—stepped out for The King’s Trust 50th anniversary celebration in London, fittingly wearing a design from one of the city’s most legendary designers.
During the event at Royal Albert Hall, Clooney shone upon arriving in a golden dress from Alexander McQueen’s fall 2007 collection. The piece featured a deep neckline, complete with a long hem and capped sleeves ideal for the formal occasion. Most notably, sequins coated the piece in intricate geometric patterns, a standout within the darker, symbol-themed collection—which was inspired by McQueen’s family ties to a victim of the Salem witch trials.
Clooney paired the vintage style with a gold bangle, interlocking hoop earrings, and a shimmering sequined clutch. Pointed-toe pumps, a constant in her wardrobe, brought her look a gilded finish. Glowing makeup by Charlotte Tilbury completed the effect with a radiant touch.
George, meanwhile, took the classic route in a deep blue suit and smooth black derbies. A set of dark sunglasses brought a dash of movie star flair to his attire, which—like Amal’s—has retained a polished, streamlined look through classic details over the years.
Of course, Clooney’s no stranger to wearing historical designs on (or off) the red carpet. The star’s past outings have included archive and vintage looks from the ’50s’, to the ’90s, hailing from designers from Pierre Balmain to Yves Saint Laurent, Cristóbal Balenciaga, and Jean-Louis Scherrer. As the Clooneys make frequent appearances on the international film festival scene, it’s all but certain she’ll continue delivering more vintage-centric statements this season.

Jewelry is always a highly personal thing—heirlooms, pieces that carry sentimental value, pieces that carry personal history or belonging (see: nameplate necklaces). Many of us have a preferred metal, or preferred category (I opt for bracelets and earrings before I reach for necklaces), whatever your personal taste, jewelry trends are ever-evolving. Back in the early 2020s and late 2010s, dainty, barely-there jewelry was all the rage, but in recent years we’ve seen a return to statement jewelry across all categories; bangles, earrings, and particularly, rings.
From cult jewelry brands like Sophie Buhai to Tiffany & Co.’s ever-iconic Elsa Peretti line, jewelry trends currently say the bolder the better, showing up on multiple runways for the past two seasons. At Chloé Spring/Summer 2026, we saw chunky gold statement rings layered and stacked across models hands, while at Givenchy Fall/Winter 2026, it was all about a singular, intricately shaped ring on the pointer finger to…make a point (sorry). Over at Acne Studios this past season for Fall/Winter 2026, rings took form as fluffy bands to complement furry hoop earrings and bangles, while at Saint Laurent, giant, ornate statement rings added a gothic touch.
It’s not just the fashion houses that are ushering in the statement ring trend. Plenty of local, small, and highly popular brands are catching onto the trend, which includes wabi-sabi styles, domed resin forms, mixed metal bands, and statement rings set with precious stones for extra meaning.
Ahead, we outline where to shop the best statement rings now.
I love this fruit-adjacent shape with crystal embellishments throughout, you can customize the metal and the stone options, too.
This piece strikes a balance between wabi sabi and refined, not to mention the natural smoky quartz inclusion which adds a grounding feel.
Simuero has such a knack for natural forms that still feel elevated, and that's exactly what this gold-plated piece is.
Cult NYC jewelry brand Agmes has always been well known for its abstract forms, especially in silver. This piece is no exception.
I love anything Elsa Peretti, especially her Bone collection. This special piece features a series of Pavé diamonds for an extra special touch.
Mejuri always takes the prize for jewelry that feels luxurious at an accessible price point, and this mixed metal piece is the perfect example.
I love this resin ring with a mother of pearl centre stone for something different. It has the perfect contemporary yet antique feel.
Cult brand Sophie Buhai does statement rings best. This Jade domed ring is the perfect accessory for any outfit.
Almost all of Chan Luu's jewelry offering feels summer-adjacent in the best way possible, and I love this shell ring to add a little seaside magic.
