Stone paired the set with a 30-carat yellow diamond necklace from Louis Vuitton High Jewelry and a simple, wavy hairdo.
2. Anya Taylor-Joy
A presenter for the awards ceremony, the “Queen’s Gambit” star made a graceful Oscars red carpet debut in a ball gown by Dior Haute Couture.
Inspired by Botticelli’s “Birth of Venus,” Taylor-Joy’s look showcased a bodice with trimmings and a skirt with the familiar, overlapping layers of petal-shaped flaps in silver-gray.
She finished the look with a pair of earrings and a necklace from the Blue Book collection by Tiffany & Co.
3. Ariana Grande
Channeling her inner Glinda the Good Witch, “Wicked” star and vocalist Ariana Grande looked resplendent in custom Giambattista Valli Haute Couture.
The bubblegum pink ensemble featured a ruched strapless dress with a dramatic, voluminous train. She paired the gown with a set of pendant earrings and a necklace finished with pink stones, both from Tiffany & Co.
4. Zendaya
Always sure to turn heads no matter the event, “Dune” star Zendaya delivered another look to remember in her Giorgio Armani Privé gown.
The dress consisted of a rose-colored silk gown with black embroidered palm trees and a single rope-like strap which hung over a glittering black corset top. Zendaya accessorized with a pair of earrings, a ring, and a bracelet from Bulgari.
5. Celine Song
“Past Lives” director Celine Song, who wore Loewe throughout her film’s press run, continues her string of wonderful ensembles with a piece that strikes an androgynous balance.

6. Colman Domingo
Nominated for Best Actor for his role as Bayard Rustin in “Rustin,” Colman Domingo took to the red carpet in a Western-inspired Louis Vuitton look.

7. Riz Ahmed
While understated, British actor Riz Ahmed’s red carpet look from Marni definitely made a statement.
Consisting of a minimalist chocolate-brown long coat, an asymmetrical collared top, and trousers—Ahmed paired the suit with only a few accessories and a pair of black loafers, making his red pin in support of the Palestine-Israel ceasefire stand out in stark contrast.
8. Taylor Zakhar Perez
“Red, White and Royal Blue” star Taylor Zakhar Perez stood out among the crowd of dark-colored tuxedos in his powder blue Prada suit paired with a black button-down and leather shoes.
Styled by Jason Bolden, whose clients have included the likes of Michael B. Jordan and Taraji P. Henson, Perez’s look is as unique as it is timeless.
9. Eugene Lee Yang
Attending the Oscars to represent “Nimona,” a nominee for Best Feature Film, filmmaker and actor Eugene Lee Yang looked elegant yet fierce in his custom Walter Mendez Atelier look.
A two-piece ensemble, Yang’s outfit consisted of a bright red, double-breasted blazer that cinched at the waist and a long skirt with dramatic pleating. His look was completed with a variety of white and silver rings as well as a necklace.
