Hollywood’s biggest night, the 96th Academy Awards, was a star-studded affair with several prominent celebrities in attendance. The stars were seen showing up in their best outfits, turning a lot of heads on the red carpet with all the sequins, sparkles, and metallic colours. While the ladies looked ethereal in their glamourous avatars, the men also stood out in their formals, largely stuck to a black palette.
Here’s a look at some of the top picks from Oscar red-carpet looks:
Clearly, the winner of the night, _Oppenheimer_ star Cillian Murphy made a style statement on the red carpet in a custom Atelier Versace suit paired with a gem brooch from Hong Kong-based designer Bertrand Mark’s Sauvereign.
