The much-anticipated 2026 Academy Awards have arrived, bringing with them the inevitable mix of fashion triumphs and missteps as top-tier celebrities grace the red carpet.
Regarded as the pinnacle of award ceremonies, this year’s Oscars unfold at the iconic Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, with the witty Conan O’Brien taking on the role of host.
The competition is set to be particularly intense, especially in the Best Actor in a Leading Role category.
Contenders include Timothee Chalamet for his performance in “Marty Supreme,” Leonardo DiCaprio in “One Battle After Another,” Ethan Hawke for “Blue Moon,” Michael B. Jordan in “Sinners,” and Wagner Moura for “The Secret Agent.”
In the Best Actress race, Kate Hudson is recognized for her role in “Song Sung Blue,” facing off against Rose Byrne in “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You,” Jessie Buckley for “Hamnet,” Renate Reinsve in “Sentimental Value,” and Emma Stone for “Bugonia.”
This year’s Best Picture nominations feature some of the most talked-about films, including “Sinners,” “Marty Supreme,” and “Bugonia.”
Ahead of tonight’s ceremony, stars attended the awards in a slew of sartorial nightmares and over-the-top outfits.
The Daily Mail has rounded up the biggest fashion faux pas from the 2026 Academy Awards.
Heading to bed or heading to the Oscars? Actress Odessa A’zion looked like she was wearing a nightgown as she sported a silky, low-cut, black dress embellished with florals and studded sleeves for the big night. She paired the look with a long silver chain around her neck
Wrong season! TV personality Keltie Knight looked like she was headed off to a summer vacation instead of the Oscars red carpet, as she sported a bright, neon yellow, halter-neck dress with bedazzled detailing around the waist and bust. The dress was open back, and she paired the look with bedazzled heels
Chain mail vibes! Oscars host Conan O’Brien’s wife, Liza Powel, wore a dress that featured a top made of chains, which was paired with a plain black skirt. She finished off the look with a slick-back bun and diamond earrings as she stood next to her husband, who was wearing a classic black tuxedo
Business casual? Diane Warren looked like she was heading into the office rather than the Oscars, as she donned a dark, navy blue silk suit with a bejeweled black turtleneck underneath. She wrapped the look together with shiny black boots
Costume party or Oscars? Novelist Maggie O’Farrell wore a bright pink, silky cape-dress on the red carpet, which was cinched at the waist with a black belt. She tied it together with a pair of black lace gloves and a black mask, along with a large black pendant necklace
Way too over the top! Actress Auli’i Cravalho looked like she was going to the Met Gala rather than the Oscars, as she donned a strapless, cream-colored gown with a huge skirt made of tulle. The top featured two oversized, sculptural roses as the bust, as she tied her look together with two diamond necklaces
It’s prom night… or is it? Actress Chase Infiniti arrived to the Oscars wearing a lilac colored, halter-neck gown with an over-the-top ruffled skirt. The gown featured ruching at the bust and waist. She paired the look with minimal jewelry which included a silver choker necklace and diamond bracelet
Business attire seemed to be an overarching theme tonight! Musician Brittany Howard arrived wearing a rhinestone-studded trench coat, along with a black suit and dangling earrings
Art gallery opening or the Oscars? Lea Myren wore a sculptural white tulle dress that featured a feathered neck piece and black heels. She tied the look together with a dramatic, slick-back bun and a super dark smokey eye
