They say it's a marathon and not a sprint. And while that applies to just about anything and everything (all at once), it's definitely true for awards season, which started way back in 2022 with the Emmy Awards and included everything from the BAFTAs just a few weeks ago to the Grammys and the Golden Globes. Now, the stars are out to get the crown jewel of them all: the Academy Awards and one of the most anticipated red carpets of the year.
Of course, with Fashion Week in the rear view, the fashion stakes are higher than ever, with nominees and presenters all hoping to step out (and show out) in the most eye-catching looks on offer. From Florence Pugh's dramatic silver and Stephanie Hsu's Valentino confection to Ariana DeBose's sheer Versace and Eva Longoria's Art Deco look, it's clear that the stars left every fan's jaw on the floor.
