As the crescendo of awards season, the Academy Awards are highly anticipated every year, and the stakes are always high on all fronts - from the red carpet to the stage.
The Oscars red carpet has therefore often been characterised by elegance, as designers give A-listers some of their top-drawer offerings.

So without wasting any time let's take a look at these offerings, where we notice our previous 2020 red carpet predictions are slowly becoming a firm reality.
Metallics and all things scintillating
Regina King
In Versace.
Sandra Oh
The Killing Eve star stunned in a Elie Saab gown with standout exaggerated sleeves. This is one time where we'd take Coco Chanel's advice, though, and remove just one thing from this look - the belt.
Janelle Monáe
Hooded in Ralph Lauren, looking like a bougie monk.
Ruffles, bows and drapes
Kristen Wiig
In head-turning Valentino that turned out to be meme bait on the internet. Personally, I love it.
Ryan Michelle Bathe
We bet this Fouad Sarkis gown from the Autumn/Winter '20 collection created a stir at the Oscars.
Kelly Marie Tran
In a black Schiaparelli ball gown with bow detailing.
Caitriona Balfe
In Valentino.
Elaine Welteroth
The doyenne of the publishing world showed up in Christian Siriano.
Saoirse Ronan
In a Gucci gown with contrasting fabrics.
Jewel tones
Mindy Kaling
In a yellow Dolce & Gabbana gown replete with Chopard jewels identical to the ones her Oceans 8 character stole in a heist along with her all-woman co-stars.
Kaitlyn Dever
In Louis Vuitton. Wait, does this mean shawls are back?
Back to black
Charlize Theron
In Dior. Anyone else noticed Charlize has taken a liking to black throughout this awards season?
Natalie Portman
Making a feminist statement in Dior by Maria Grazia Chiuri’s embroidered cape with the names of female directors overlooked by the Academy stitched into it.
Blac Chyna
We're not too sure why she was there, but we see Blac Chyna also got the black-and-blue memo from previous red carpets this year, and we love her well-considered slit on this dress by Donna Matoshi.
Penelope Cruz
In archival Chanel from the Spring/Summer 1995 haute couture.
Zazie Beetz
In a Thom Browne two-piece.

And a sprinkle of white
Cynthia Erivo
She made her Oscars in a white custom Atelier Versace gown with an embellished bustier. However, we would've preferred more delicate shoes to go with this dress.
Renée Zellweger
In form-fitting Armani.
Billie Eilish
In a Chanel tweed suit, which she swapped out for an all-black ensemble at the Vanity Fair after party.
