The Oscars red carpet is always a spectacle, but this year had a few moments that truly stole the show. From Chloe Zhao’s stunning, gothic black gown to Wunmei Musaka glowing in sequins, and Elle Fanning in her first-ever nomination dress, we’re breaking down the looks that had us swooning—and the ones that left us wishing for more colour and drama.

We also get caught up in some unforgettable red carpet chaos: a hilariously awkward moment with Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams, plus the real nerves, excitement, and insider moments that come with award season behind the scenes.

Tune in for all the fashion highs, the funniest red carpet moments, and our very human reactions to one of the year’s biggest nights in Hollywood.

And you can find all the looks we spoke about right here.
