2023 Oscar Awards Red Carpet: See All The Best And Boldest Looks
Old Hollywood glamour ruled the red carpet at the 95th annual Academy Awards on Sunday night.
Celebrities and stylists alike kept things classic, sophisticated and elevated at the Oscars pre-show, save for a few wonderfully wacky and wild ensembles that kept things fun (including the people who posed with pretzels on the carpet).
Stars including Allison Williams, Sofia Carson, Stephanie Hsu, Cara Delevingne and Elizabeth Banks battled it out for the most voluminous dress on the carpet, while Florence Pugh marched to the beat of her own drum and showed up in couture shorts ― very fancy ones, we might add.
Many of this year’s attendees showed up in white, despite the academy’s decision to switch the red carpet to a “champagne” carpet. It was the first change to the coloring of the carpet since 1961 and wasn’t totally embraced by everyone.
“I think the decision to go with a champagne carpet over a red carpet shows how confident we are that no blood will be shed,” host Jimmy Kimmel said last week, alluding to last year’s “slap” incident, which was still top of mind for everyone at the Oscars.
Compared to the SAG Awards red carpet in February, the Academy Awards red carpet also featured considerably less snow in the forecast and exactly zero blizzard warnings.
