Our 15 Favorite Looks From The Oscars

The gowns that took our breath away

Every year, the Academy Awards serve as an evening to celebrate the best of the best in the world of film. While all will be honored from the most standout actresses and actors of the past year down to the best of costume design and makeup, the red carpet looks deserve a shout-out in our books. With the Oscars usually serving the least risk-taking fashions of awards show season, we can at least always expect to see some truly beautiful couture.

This year, the stars did not disappoint. While there (surprisingly) were no pantsuits in sight, our favorite celebs served up some serious glamour in some of the most stunning gowns we’ve seen in a while. From the shimmering gold stunners worn by Jessica Biel and Emma Stone to the simplicity of Kirsten Dunst’s Dior gown, it was one remarkable red carpet event.

Below, check out the 15 looks from the 89th Academy Awards we’re obsessing over.
