Oscars 2026 red carpet LIVE: All the best and worst looks from this year's awards as A-listers arrive in Hollywood

The prestigious ceremony represents the culmination of awards season, offering A-list celebrities one final opportunity to make a lasting impression before the industry's spotlight dims.

The main ceremony is scheduled to commence at 11 pm UK time, with arrivals beginning several hours earlier.

Jessie Buckley is widely expected to take home the Best Actress award tonight after sweeping the major precursor ceremonies, including the Baftas, the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the Golden Globes.

Critics have hailed her performance as Agnes in Hamnet as the finest work of her career.

Ms Buckley arrived on the red carpet in a striking Chanel gown featuring a dramatic scarlet off-the-shoulder satin bodice paired with a flowing blush-pink skirt and train. The bold colour combination marks a departure from the neutral tones she is usually known for.

One Battle After Another star Chase Infiniti brought a touch of romantic drama to the red carpet in a soft lavender gown featuring a fitted bodice and cascading ruffled skirt.

The halter-style neckline and layered train gave the look a classic Hollywood elegance.

Although she pulls it off flawlessly- the dress took 750 hours to make.

Demi Moore was next on the catwalk. Showing off her slender figure, she delivered one of the night’s most dramatic fashion moments in a striking Gucci gown featuring a sculpted bodice with deep emerald, scale-like detailing that cascades into layers of black feathers.

Emma Stone entered the night with two nominations for the film Bugonia.

She is nominated for Best Actress for her role as Michelle Fuller, and for Best Picture as one of the producers of the film.

The La La Land actress opted for understated glamour on the Oscars red carpet in a shimmering silver gown that feels both modern and classic.

Damson Idris brought a bold, fashion-forward look to the Oscars red carpet with a dramatic navy overcoat that blends classic tailoring with statement style.

Mr Idris appeared on the carpet alongside F1 Co-star Brad Pitt. The film is nominated in 4 categories tonight- Best Picture, Best Film Editing, Best Sound and Best Visual Effects.

Brad Pitt opted for his traditional black-and-white tuxedo.

Timothée Chalamet was reportedly considering skipping the red carpet this year, but the actor ultimately arrived in style, stepping out in a striking all-white tailored suit.

Mr Chalamet received two nominations for his work on the film Marty Supreme, earning recognition for Best Actor and also as one of the producers nominated for Best Picture.

Michael B. Jordan brought a sleek, modern edge to the Oscars red carpet in a sharply tailored black ensemble.

Mr Jordan is nominated for Best Actor at the 98th Academy Awards for his performance in Sinners, directed by Ryan Coogler. The nomination marks the first Oscar recognition of his career.

American comedian and TV host Conan O'Brien is hosting for the second consecutive year.

The ceremony is currently underway at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

Leonardo DiCaprio is nominated for Best Actor for his performance in Paul Thomas Anderson’s dark comedy-drama, One Battle After Another.

Mr DiCaprio kept things classic on the Oscars red carpet, opting for a timeless black tuxedo.

Nominated for Best Supporting Actress this evening, Mosaku arrived at the Academy Awards in an emerald green Louis Vuitton gown featuring a shoulder cutout, paired with David Yurman jewellery.

Her nomination is one of the film’s record-breaking 16 nods tonight — the most for any movie in Oscars history.
