After a long award season that’s included Harry Styles in a Swarovski-crystal onesie and Zendaya in more archival vintage looks than we can count on one hand, it’s finally time for the big finale—that is, the Oscars. *Pause for oohs and aahs.* Tonight, the biggest names in Hollywood once again came together to celebrate a year’s worth of work in film, but we all know that the most significant portion of the evening arrives before any of the awards are doled out.
The red carpet is the unofficial main event when it comes to Oscars night or really any award show, so it goes without saying that we kept our eyes peeled for the entire duration of the pre–Academy Awards parade. And though all our favourite celebrities in attendance came dressed to the nines, a number of them (with help from their ever-talented stylists) managed to surpass even our wickedly high expectations for the evening. Scroll down to see which guests at the Oscars nabbed a spot on our best dressed list in 2023.
