The 95th Academy Awards ceremony has taken place, and the Red Carpet was a sight to behold as celebrities displayed their fashion sense. This year, the carpet was not the typical “red,” but a sophisticated champagne hue. The stars opted for maximalism, with vivid colors, flamboyant silhouettes, and exquisite embellishments that were hard to miss. The Dolby Theatre in LA deviated from its usual path, resulting in some exaggerated fashion statements. One of the most notable stars to grace the red carpet was Deepika Padukone, a global superstar who exuded class in her Louis Vuitton bodycon dress. As a presenter at this year’s Oscars, her appearance was particularly special, making India proud. The gown’s most striking feature was its timeless appeal, with a plunging neckline and a perfect fit that accentuated her figure. Her Cartier crystal neckpiece added an extra touch of glamour to the ensemble. Her makeup was flawless, with a neat winged liner, dewy skin, and a messy bun that oozed Audrey Hepburn energy.

Ram Charan and Jr NTR were a stunning duo as they rocked black ethnic outfits on the red carpet. Ram Charan wore a custom-made three-piece ensemble by Shantanu & Nikhil, featuring an asymmetrical kurta, a bandh gala jacket, and straight-fitted pants. The golden brooch he wore was the standout piece, stealing all the attention. Meanwhile, Jr NTR opted for a Gaurav Gupta number, with a similar bandhgala silhouette but a golden tiger motif on one shoulder and a neckline suited for an angrakha style. Their Indian style was on full display, showcasing the best of their fashion sense on an international platform.

The color white was a popular choice among many of the celebrities at the event. Emily Blunt and Michelle Williams both looked stunning in white, with Blunt wearing a body-sculpting Valentino number, and Williams donning a classic Chanel couture dress adorned with crystal embroidery and a sheer overlay. Cate Blanchett, who received her 8th Academy nomination this year, exuded elegance in a simple yet striking blue velvet gown paired with a long satin skirt. Michelle Yeoh, known for her role in “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” looked like a vision in a white feathered Dior gown, perfectly complemented by her diamond accessories.

Moving on to the music world’s top divas, Lady Gaga once again wowed everyone with her exceptional fashion sense at the Oscars. She donned a sheer corset ensemble by Versace, featuring a daring low-cut back that left little to the imagination. Gaga also gave a stunning performance of her song “Hold My Hand” from the movie “Top Gun: Maverick.” Meanwhile, Rihanna opted for a sheer black Alaia outfit with minimal cut-outs on the lower half. The outfit showcased a visible mesh over her baby bump, leather straps, and a floor-sweeping train – all of which contributed to her flawless red-carpet look.

With maximalism being the hottest fashion trend of the year, British actress Florence Pugh certainly embraced it at the Oscars. She turned heads in a ruffled gown paired with black shorts peeking out from underneath and a stunning asymmetrical silver necklace, adding a touch of silver lining to her look. On the other hand, Nicole Kidman opted for a sultry Armani gown featuring a thigh-high slit and intricate floral embellishments, making a bold statement on the red carpet.

Corsets, bold and vibrant hues, ruffles, and structured silhouettes were some of the most popular fashion choices seen at the event. Mindy Kaling turned heads in her stunning Vera Wang gown which featured intricate boning around the waist, while Jamie Lee Curtis donned a blush-colored Dolce and Gabbana gown with crystal embellishments and external boning, giving the illusion of an inside-out corset.

The male celebrities at the event didn’t shy away from making bold fashion choices. Some opted for classic looks with a modern twist, while others went for more daring and unconventional outfits. Lenny Kravitz went for a rock-and-roll vibe with layered necklaces and no shirt. Austin Butler wore a vintage-inspired tuxedo by Saint Laurent, complete with sharp shoulders, a bowtie, and boots. Dwayne Johnson opted for a pink satin jacket with a matching corsage, a daring choice that paid off. Finally, Steven Spielberg made a statement in a midnight blue Gucci tuxedo paired with sneakers, proving that style and comfort can go hand in hand.

The use of men’s jewellery and embellishments on the red carpet has been gaining popularity in recent times. Celebrities such as Michael B. Jordan, Brian Tyree Henry, and Daniel Kwan have been seen sporting some stylish choices in this category. Michael’s large lapel pins set a new trend, while Tyree’s starburst buttons added a complementary touch to his lavender suit. Bright colours also had their moment as Daniel Kwan donned a red tuxedo with golden embroidered sleeves, creating a flattering effect.

Eva Longoria graced the red carpet in a breathtaking Zuhair Murad ensemble. The outfit featured a sheer fabric adorned with sparkling crystals across the bodice and a plunging neckline. Andrew Garfield looked dapper in a Fendi black suit paired with a crisp white shirt, a bow tie, and lace shoes to complete the look. Jennifer Connelly opted for a classic black bodycon gown by Louis Vuitton. The highlight of the outfit was the inverted pyramid of rhinestones that added glamour to the neckline.

Fashion has always played a significant role in the international red carpet events, and this year’s Oscars was no exception. With several celebrities opting for vintage looks, some even took inspiration from their on-screen characters, making the red carpet all the more exciting. The champagne-hued carpet was a sight to behold with stars making a strong statement with their incredible outfits. From Indian stars to international stars, everyone had their A-game on, showcasing custom-made ensembles that were truly breathtaking.
