Oscars' red carpet rundown 2019

The 91st Academy Awards have been and gone, an exhilarating amalgamation of triumph, tears, and taffeta pink. Amidst the more noteworthy moments, such as Olivia Colman’s adorable awkwardness, Rami Malek’s moving speech (followed by falling off the stage), and that performance (more impressed with Irina Shayk's performance to be honest), the stars shone bright and the fashion shone even brighter. Sure, there were a few debatable decisions; Rachel Weisz’s red latex was a borderline faux pas, alongside Glenn Close and her red carpet workout carrying 20kgs of golden beads (before you next moan at the airport, remember Glenn wore the weight of your luggage). Linda Cardellini’s frock was just a Louboutin’s throw from becoming a very extra nightgown. Yet overall, the Academy Award attendees continued to serve fashion inspiration as 2019’s award season comes to a close. Read on to see some our favourite luminary looks (with an honourable mention to Mahershala Ali’s beanie).

Jennifer Hudson was a vision in ruffled red Elie Saab Couture, paired with Nicholas Kirkwood shoes.

Gemma Chan’s fuschia taffeta Valentino gown/duvet cover sent the Twittersphere into raptures, especially as the actress used its pockets to carry a mid-show snack (relatable).

regina-king-oscars 

Regina King left with both an Oscar and major fashion kudos after her white-hot Oscar de la Renta number became an immediate hit, complete with Angelina-esque thigh-high slit. 

lady-gaga-oscars 

Lady Gaga put a darkly seductive spin on old Hollywood glamour in Alexander McQueen, long leather gloves, and blinding Tiffany and Co. bling.
