All Of The Looks On The 2019 Oscars Red Carpet
It's here! The night we've all been waiting for! We finally get to find out which movies will be granted the highest honors Hollywood has to offer. But more importantly, we get to see a whole bunch of pretty dresses.
We get to see some fancy suits too, let's not leave the men out of #OscarsFashion. They work hard to look good too. But let's face it, they don't work as hard as the ladies. Keep reading to see all of the best looks straight from the red carpet.
Emilia Clarke
Emilia Clarke got to the Oscars red carpet pretty early. I guess she couldn't wait for night to begin. She looks absolutely stunning in this metallic pinky silvery dress. I love the asymmetric neckline and the form-fitting (but not too tight) silhouette.
I wonder if we'll see any more Game of Thrones stars on this year's red carpet. Keep reading to see if any other citizens of Westeros show up to Hollywood's biggest night.
Constance Wu
Constance Wu looks like a literal princess in this yellow chiffon dress. And by a literal princess, of course, I mean Princess Belle from Beauty and the Beast. I know Disney just did a live action Beauty and the Beast, and Emma Watson was great in it, but now I kind of want Constance Wu to play Belle.
There can never be too many live action Disney remakes, right? Don't even talk to me about Aladdin...
Danielle Macdonald
Danielle Macdonald was all over the place this year. It seemed like she was in every hit show that came out on Netflix. We loved her as Olympia in Bird Box, we loved her as Willowdean in Dumplin', and we love her in this red dress on the red carpet.
Danielle definitely stands out in this of the shoulder gown. This is the perfect dress to wear when you show up to the Oscars for the first time.
Spike Lee
Unlike Danielle Macdonald, Spike Lee has been on this carpet a few times before. He knows how it's done, and he's walking the carpet with confidence. He looks like a regular Waluigi and he's sporting some serious bling. Look at those brass knuckles. I think I like the "love" one more than the "hate" one, but I guess you can't have one without the other.
He's even wearing purple glasses. This guy thought of everything.
Marie Kondo
Just a few weeks ago, most people didn't even know Marie Kondo's name. Now everyone is using her name as a verb. The other day my sister told me that she just "Marie Kondo-ed her cutlery drawer."
Not only does Marie Kondo know how to organize a house, but she also knows how to dress. Look at this stunning floor-length pink gown with silver appliqués. Is she always this perfect?
Amandla Stenberg
Amandla Stenberg has grown up a lot since we saw her play Rue in the first Hunger Games movie. Now she's walking the Oscars red carpet in this absolutely stunning dress that looks like something straight out of The Great Gatsby.
I think this is my favorite dress so far, but we're going to have to wait to see who else steps out a limo wearing something none of us can afford.
Yalitza Aparicio
Yalitza Aparicio strutted her stuff on the Oscars red carpet wearing this gorgeous aquamarine dress. I love the one-shoulder neckline and the color compliments her skin tone so beautifully.
Yalitza was amazing in Roma and I'm so glad that she got an Oscar nomination. Her performance was pitch perfect and I can't wait to see what she does next. She looks even better in color than she does in black and white.
Regina King
Ok, that settles it, Regina King is bona fide royalty. The clues were all there. I mean, her last name is king, her first name is Latin for "queen," what more do I have to say? Regina looks like she belongs in a castle guarded by the entire cast of Game of Thrones.
I love this white dress. It's simple, it's elegant, it's everything we've ever wanted. I love the matching white shoes.
Octavia Spencer
Last year Octavia Spencer was in The Shape of Water, the film that ended up winning the Academy Award for Best Picture. This year she showed up to the red carpet ready to present an award to another deserving artist.
This midnight blue dress looks like something a very wealthy, very stylish person would wear to prom. I love the subtle sparkle in the fabric and the little clutch ties the whole look together.
Awkwafina
We should have known that Awkwafina wouldn't wear a typical long gown to the Oscars. This is Hollywood's biggest night, and Awkwafina isn't going to miss an opportunity to be extraordinary. This pantsuit is everything we never knew we needed.
It kind of looks like it's made out of the same material as Emilia Clarke's dress. Watch out, Emilia, Awkwafina is coming for your look. I'm just joshing, I'm sure there's enough pinkish sparkly fabric to go around.
Billy Porter
There was a lot to see on the red carpet, but one of the first dresses was the most memorable. Singer and actor Billy Porter arrived in a one-of-a-kind Christian Siriano tuxedo ballgown. Before he hit the red carpet, Porter told Vogue that he wanted to play the part of both male and female on the red carpet.
The internet was torn about whether or not they liked the bold outfit, but Porter acknowledged that people would be uncomfortable but that "it's not anybody's business but mine."
Linda Cardellini
Linda Cardellini definitely didn't pick a dress that blends into the crowd. Her movie Green Book was up for Best Picture and that means it's time to celebrate. This is a celebration dress. I don't think I've ever seen so many ruffles on one garment.
Linda doesn't care that she wasn't nominated for an individual award this year. She's here to celebrate her cast and their collective accomplishments. Also, this is a gorgeous shade of pink.
Melissa McCarthy And Ben Falcone
Melissa McCarthy walked the red carpet in this beautiful black and white pantsuit. She's looking fitter than ever and I think I need a long white cape now. Melissa McCarthy is channeling her inner superhero and I'm living for it.
Her husband and frequent collaborator, Ben Falcone, doesn't look too bad either. A classic tuxedo is always a good look. These two definitely coordinated their outfits. They look like a match made in heaven.
Sandy Powell
I had no idea who Sandy Powell was until this very moment, but how can you not stop and stare at this amazing suit. All those lines are making me dizzy and I can't say that I'm mad about it.
Her bright orange hair is the perfect counterpoint to this monochromatic look. Sandy Powell is the costume designer who dressed all of the actors in The Favourite. She also worked on Marry Poppins Returns.
Glenn Close
Glenn Close looks like she's ready to win a golden statue in this statuesque gold dress. We've seen Glenn Close play countless queens, Cruella Deville, and now an underappreciated wife. Well, she's definitely not going to be underappreciated tonight.
Glenn Close owns the red carpet. She may as well roll it up and take it home with her in her limo. I'm so happy for Glenn! This woman totally deserves all of the recognition.
Kacey Musgraves
Kacey Musgraves just won a gigantic Grammy award and now she's walking the red carpet at the 91st annual Academy Awards. She's wearing a tiered tulle covered pink gown. Pink definitely themes to be the color of the night at this year's Oscars, and I promise you there are more pink dresses to come.
Kacey looks like a walking cloud or poof of cotton candy. That dress looks absolutely delicious.
Gemma Chan
I told you there would be more pink. Gemma Chan looks stunning in this easy, breezy, beautiful loose pink dress. It looks like she just threw this on even though I know it took her the whole day to get ready.
Gemma showed up to the Oscars as part of the cast of Crazy Rich Asians which totally smashed it at the box office this year. Enjoy your moment, Gemma!
Jennifer Hudson
Jennifer Hudson knows how to bring the drama to the red carpet. This dress screams drama, from its deep red color, to its one shoulder detail, to its giant center ruffle. Also, did you get a good look at those earrings? How much do you think just one of those earrings would cost? Probably more than my house.
Jennifer looks absolutely stunning. Take note people, this is how you do Hollywood glamor right.
Tina Fey And Maya Rudolph
Tina Fey and Maya Rudolph are kind of like yin and yang on the Oscars red carpet. Tina went for a low key cool blue strapless dress, and Maya chose a patterned, pink, long-sleeved gown. I love how these two balance each other out.
Also, both of these dresses are perfect for the person wearing them. Which dress do you like best? Tina's or Maya's? Personally, I like Maya's a little bit better.
Helen Mirren
It looks like Helen Mirren got the pink memo. A lot of celebrities have opted for lighter, more airy fabrics on Oscar night, and Helen Mirren is one of those celebrities. I love how this dress is made up of multiple pink tones, plus Helen's stylist made a great decision to pair this gown with a diamond necklace that can only be described as a show stopper.
How is anybody going to be able to pay attention to the awards when Helen Mirren is wearing that thing around her neck?
Amy Adams
I've always loved Amy Adams as an actress, but this year she starred in the HBO miniseries Sharp Objects and that show made me love her even more. Enough about Sharp Objects (which is amazing by the way, definitely watch it), let's talk about this dress. Who says a white dress has to be boring?
The structure of this dress is perfection, and the different shades of grey and subtle texturing in the fabric take the whole look right over the top.
Emma Stone
This isn't Emma Stone's first rodeo. She knows how this red carpet thing is done. She's won an Oscar once before, remember? That whole La La Land and Moonlight fiasco?
Anyway, let's move onwards and upwards. Emma Stone always picks the loveliest dresses to wear to events, but this one is particularly special. It kind of looks like it's made out of dragon scales. Maybe she's just excited for the new season of Game of Thrones.
Lisa Bonet And Jason Momoa
Speaking of Game of Thrones, I told you we'd probably se some more stars of that show on this list. Jason Momoa may not be on the show currently (which means he doesn't have any spoilers for us), but he's definitely a big part of the whole saga.
These two are wearing matching outfits and it's way too cute for me. Jason Momoa is so much taller than Lisa Bonet, it's ridiculous.
Brie Larson
I'm loving Brie Larson's new ice blonde hair. She's starting to look like a real superhero and I can't wait to see her smash buildings and save the day in Captain Marvel. Brie Larson always looks gorgeous in a very particular girl next door kind of way. Like she's pretty, but it's a kind of pretty that seems attainable. I like it.
This girl has charm seeping out of every pore. Also, that silver dress is stunning.
Charlize Theron
Well, Brie Larson's gone blonde and Charlize Theron is now a brunette. Who would have thought? I think the brown hair suits her. She looks like she's ready to become the next president or something. This periwinkle blue dress is so unique. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it on the red carpet.
Charlize is amazing. I wonder why she didn't host the Oscars. She probably didn't want to. She's too busy ruling the world.
Laura Dern
Laura Dern was amazing in Big Little Lies last year and in just about everything she's ever done. I think Laura Dern is one of the most underrated actresses of our time. Where's her Oscar nod, Academy?
I don't think she deserves an award for this dress though. I mean, she doesn't belong on a worst dressed list, but I just don't think it's anything special. I think this burgundy number kind of looks like a bridesmaid's dress.
Tessa Thompson
Tessa Thompson has been in this business for a long time, but I think 2018 was definitely her year. She was amazing in Westworld and she starred in all of Janelle Monae's music videos. She went from being that girl in that thing to being absolutely iconic.
This dress is stunning on her. She looks like a queen bee which is somehow very fitting. I love the details on this little black dress.
Jordan Peele And Chelsea Peretti
Jordan Peele is working on some very big things that are coming out very soon and I can barely contain my excitement. He won an Oscar for best original screenplay last year for Get Out. Now he's working on a Twilight Zone series and I have a feeling it's going to be amazing.
Chelsea Peretti, his partner in crime, is funny as heck and she looks amazing in this black and white off the shoulder dress.
Lady Gaga
We always expect wild and crazy fashion from Lady Gaga, but she decided to tone it down for this year's Oscars. She's wearing long black gloves and a long black strapless dress with some lovely crystal jewelry.
Lady Gaga was nominated for multiple Academy Awards this year. She was nominated for awards in a music category and in an acting category, which seems appropriate for this pop star turned actress.
Olivia Colman
Olivia Colman was nominated for an Academy Award for her work in The Favourite. She was absolutely amazing in that film, and I am so happy to see her looking so lovely on the red carpet. This green dress is stunning on her, and I especially like the long shawl she's wearing over it.
Olivia is a picture of beauty and grace (quite unlike the version of Queen Anne she plays in The Favourite).
John Mullaney And Annamarie Tendler
John Mullaney wasn't about to wear a normal black tuxedo to the Academy Awards. Nope, he's way to cool for that. He's wearing a shiny patterned jacket because he's John Mullaney and he can do whatever he wants. His wife, Anna Tendler, is also taking some fashion risks tonight, and I think they're definitely paying off.
That feathered neckline is everything. I can see why John likes her so much.
Rachel Weisz
Rachel Weisz decided to one up the red carpet itself with this stunning two-piece red patent leather-esque ensemble. She's accessorized her dress with a matching red clutch and a gorgeous jewelled headband.
Rachel was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her work in The Favourite. Ultimately, she lost to Regina King, but she still looked stunning on the red carpet. Really, that's what everyone is tuning in to see anyway.
Danai Gurrira
Danai Gurrira looks absolutely stunning is this floor length gold gown. I love how there are different shades of gold woven into the fabric. Danai showed up to the Oscars as part of the ensemble of Black Panther. You probably also know as Michone from The Walking Dead.
Black Panther won several awards at the Oscars, including one for Best Costume Design. The film lost Best Picture to Green Book, but at least the cast got to have a great time on the red carpet.
Laura Marano
Laura Marano is an actress best known for playing Ally on the Disney Chanel series Austin & Ally. Recently, she also had a part in Greta Gerwig's 2017 film, Lady Bird.
Laura walked the Oscars red carpet in this gorgeous color blocked yellow and pink dress. Laura looks like she's ready for Easter in this outfit. I especially love the pop of green she added to the look with her little emerald clutch.
Shangela
Legendary drag queen Shangela wore this stunning ruffled lilac dress on the Oscars red carpet. She attended the Oscars as part of the cast of the Oscar nominated movie A Star is Born.
Everything about this look is big and loud from the color to the metallic detaling to the hair. Shangela knows how to strut her stuff, and she can pose for pictures like it's nobody's business.
Julia Roberts
It looks like Julia Roberts heard that pink was in style, because she also showed up to the Oscars in a pink toned dress. This off the shoulder fuchsia dress balances a simple silhouette with a bold color.
Julia's new blonde hair looks fantastic on her, and I swear it doesn't look like she aged a day since she won her own Oscar. Remember that iconic acceptance speech? Julia never disappoints.
Elsie Fisher
Elsie Fisher, the breakout star of Bo Burnhams first feature film, Eighth Grade, walked the red carpet in this stunning pant suit. Leave it to this literal teenager to break fashion barriers and make a statement on the red carpet. Elsie Fisher is a queen and we don't deserve her.
Seriously, if you haven't seen Eighth Grade yet, do yourself a favor and go see that movie immediately. I can't wait to see what Elsie does next.
Billy Porter
Here it is. The outfit that everybody was talking about. Billy Porter's half suit half ballgown may have just broken the internet. I think it's clear that Billy Porter won the red carpet. I mean, how can you not love this look?
That pose, though. The pose sells it. You can't wear an outfit like this unless you have the attitude to match it. Billy definitely has a whole lot of attitude.
Sarah Paulson
It's been a big year for Sarah Paulson. This actress has just been quietly doing her thing for years, being an amazing actress and appearing in some of our favorite movies and TV shows. this year she was in Bird Box, which was something of a viral sensation.
Sarah chose to wear this puffy pink dress on the red carpet. I don't think I've ever seen a dress quite like this, and while it's not to my personal taste, I applaud Sarah for taking a risk.
Ruth E. Carter
Ruth E. Carter just became the first black woman to win an Oscar for Costume Design. She was recognized for her work on Black Panther. Ruth has been working in this business for years, and it's about time that she got to hold that golden trophy.
Ruth showed up to the event in a dress that looks like it could very well be a costume. I'd be surprised if she didn't make it herself.
