The 2026 Oscars red carpet is one of the most closely watched style runways of the season, not only because of the star power attached to this year's ceremony but also because the guest list blends major nominees, returning winners, and actors who have already shown their spectacular fashion game, well before stepping inside the Dolby Theatre.

Spectacular looks that stars like Teyana Taylor, Emma Stone, Elle Fanning, and more are serving on the red carpet and other Oscar events, making the night a win for haute couture, fashionistas, and lovers of everything sartorial.

In all truth, fashion has always been part of the Academy Awards mythology, and this year the arrivals are carrying as much intrigue as the race for the statuettes themselves.

Among the stars most people were excited to see are, of course, Miss Teyana, whose first Oscar nomination has turned her into one of the night's most exciting style wild cards, and Zoe Saldaña, who is returning to the Academy Awards stage as a presenter after winning best supporting actress last year.

Kate Hudson and Emma Stone have shown up at red carpets with the best looks of their fashion life, so it's not a surprise that they shine at the Oscars' red carpet.

The carpet is also packed with talent from the films that dominated nominations. The Academy's official nominations list shows Sinners, Marty Supreme, Hamnet and One Battle after Another among the titles driving this year's awards conversation, meaning their casts, filmmakers, and creative teams are likely to shape the visual identity of the night before the ceremony even begins. When the most-nominated films arrive with ensemble energy, the red carpet usually becomes more than a parade of gowns and tuxedos; it becomes the first live snapshot of the stories Hollywood has chosen to celebrate.

Here are some of the looks that the Oscar nominees and other Hollywood stars gave at the iconic red carpet and at other Academy Award events.
