The Best Dressed Stars at the 2024 Oscars

The Oscars 2024 red carpet marked the grand finale of a busy awards season, and Hollywood's celebrities and stylists truly outdid themselves this time.

The red carpet at the Oscars 2024 showcased a variety of looks, ranging from dramatic to simply dazzling. Notable surprises included Margot Robbie's departure from her usual pink attire, opting instead for a striking brown Versace gown, while America Ferrera embraced Barbie's iconic pink in a stunning chainmail dress by Versace.

Dark-colored gowns were a dominant trend at the 2024 Oscars, with sleek options like Jamie Lee Curtis' Dolce & Gabbana gown and more dramatic choices like Sandra Hüller's Schiaparelli and Carey Mulligan's Balenciaga mermaid gown stealing the spotlight.

Most men opted for traditional tuxedos at the prestigious event, with Cillian Murphy choosing a conservative look compared to his more avant-garde outfits from earlier in the awards season. However, some A-list men, like Ryan Gosling in a custom Gucci suit, added subtle crystal accents to balance formal and relaxed vibes.

Amidst a sea of elegant styles, certain stars truly stood out. Check out this selection of the night's best looks.
