The Most Unforgettable Red Carpet Moments From The 2026 Oscars

After much anticipation, the coveted Oscars are now in motion ― and the red carpet looks are already trickling in as your favorite celebrities pull out all the stops.

On Sunday, the biggest stars of the year hit the red carpet at the 98th annual Academy Awards at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre to show off their best looks. From Demi Moore to Zoe Saldaña, the stylish heavy hitters are all here and dressed to the nines.

Among the stellar looks, Moore stunned in a floor-length green and black feathered Gucci gown with Boucheron jewelry, while Saldaña sizzled in a lingerie-inspired Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello lace slip dress.

With mega stars like Michael B. Jordan, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ethan Hawke and Timothée Chalamet all contending for the coveted Best Actor award, this year’s awards ceremony is sure to keep viewers on their toes during the three hour-plus broadcast.

Some of the evening’s burning questions include which of the biggest contenders will score the Best Picture Award — “Sinners” or “One Battle After Another”? And who will take home the Best Director award — Chloé Zhao for “Hamnet” or Josh Safdie for “Marty Supreme”? These are the questions that fans are waiting in much anticipation to uncover.

Hosted by Conan O’Brien for the second year in a row, this year’s ceremony will feature live performances of two of the five tunes nominated for Best Original Song — “Golden” from the animated film KPop Demon Hunters and “I Lied to You” from the vampire horror “Sinners.”

“Golden” will be delivered by EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami, while breakout star Miles Caton and songwriter Raphael Saadiq will perform “I Lied to You” alongside artists Brittany Howard, Shaboozey, Buddy Guy, Eric Gales, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Bobby Rush and Alice Smith.

The films competing for the hankered after Best Picture award are “Frankenstein,” “Hamnet,” “Marty Supreme,” “One Battle After Another,” “Sinners,” “Train Dreams,” “F1,” “Bugonia,” “Sentimental Value” and “The Secret Agent.”

Leading the pack for nominations is Ryan Coogler’s hit vampire film “Sinners” with 16 nods, setting a new record for the most nominations in Academy Award history. Trailing closely behind is Paul Thomas Anderson’s action-thriller “One Battle After Another,” which scored 13 nominations.

Presenters for the evening include Javier Bardem, Chris Evans, Demi Moore, Zoe Saldaña, Robert Downey Jr., Nicole Kidman, Jimmy Kimmel, Delroy Lindo, Pedro Pascal, Sigourney Weaver, and many more.
