12 Best Dressed Celebrities at the 2024 Oscars

Sandra Hüller in custom Schiaparelli

With a custom black velvet Schiaparelli with sharp sleeve details reminiscent of a pair of angular wings, Sandra Hüller single-handedly redefined what a power shoulder could—and should—look like.

America Ferrera in Atelier Versace

With this spectacular sequin look by Versace for America Ferrera, Barbie pink lives to see another day. But we’re honestly not even mad at it—it’s the kind of dress we’d write a monologue about.

Kirsten Dunst in Gucci

Kirsten Dunst is the queen of ethereal style. Her own personal aesthetic feels inseparable from the Sofia Coppola lens so many of us have long seen her through. And this sleek white Gucci dress with a square neckline feels like femininity personified, with an angelic aura that is extremely and uniquely Dunst.

Celine Song in Loewe

Celine Song has been wearing Loewe on her press run for Past Lives, but this Oscars-night look from the label might be her best yet. The pinned two-tone navy and black blazer and tiered ruffle skirt worn with oxfords was refreshing in a sea of extravagant gowns.

Anya Taylor-Joy in Dior

Anya Taylor-Joy’s Dior was a custom creation inspired by the Junon dress from the Fall/Winter 1949 collection. The original skirt of ombré petals was meant to mimic the look of peacock feathers, and Taylor-Joy certainly looks as regal as that feathered symbol of royalty (and beauty).

Lupita Nyong’o in Armani Privé

Peplum is controversial, but not when it’s flared with feathers adorning a pastel-purple sequined gown by Armani Privé. If the silhouette does make a comeback, it’s because Lupita Nyong’o made it look so good.

Greta Lee in Loewe

Greta Lee has been the star of this red-carpet award-show run, and it’s because every Loewe look she wears feels like it was made for her and only her. This goddess-esque look is straight from the Fall/Winter 2024 runway, with a draping white cape that falls off the back of her shoulder. Lee is, simply, the queen of chic—actual, true, honest, hard-to-find chic.

Da’Vine Joy Randolph in Louis Vuitton

Da’Vine Joy Randolph had the first win of the night, for her supporting actress role in The Holdovers, portraying a boarding school cafeteria manager grieving the loss of her son. Her custom Louis Vuitton had textured sleeve details that felt aptly celebratory and reminiscent of the boas that have been trending this past season on the runways.

Zendaya in Armani Privé

Zendaya has not taken her foot off our neck all award season, with standout look after look after look after capital-L look. While this Armani Privé gown could only be considered subtle on someone who has worn the archival Mugler Gynoid suit, it was still the kind of striking look the Dune star has become known for.

Carey Mulligan in Balenciaga

Carey Mulligan wore an archival 1950s Balenciaga gown by Cristóbal Balenciaga. There’s no adjective in the English language to describe this level of perfection. The only way to put how we feel about it into words is through a breathless exclamation of “Oh my God!” This is what they mean when they say Old Hollywood glamour. It has the authentic enchantment of decades past.

Michelle Yeoh in Balenciaga

Opera gloves have been happening on the runway for the past couple of seasons, but it feels like they’ve now finally and rightfully made their way to the Oscars. Along with Mulligan, Michelle Yeoh proved there was no better accessory right now than an elegant pair of long black gloves (especially paired with a watch on top). With every appearance she makes, Yeoh shows that women over 5o own the red carpet right now, and her shimmering Balenciaga is oozing with glamour.

Lily Gladstone in Gucci

Lily Gladstone’s Gucci look paid homage to Indigenous design. Creative director Sabato De Sarno worked alongside Indigenous artist Joe Big Mountain of Ironhorse Quillwork on a blue velvet gown with a matching cape embellished with floral quillwork motifs. The Siksikaitsitapi and NiMíiPuu actress is making history tonight as the first Native American ever nominated for Actress in a Leading Role. So it feels only right that her gown would reflect the historic moment.

Tara Gonzalez is the Senior Fashion Editor at Harper’s Bazaar. Previously, she was the style writer at InStyle, founding commerce editor at Glamour, and fashion editor at Coveteur.
