LOS ANGELES – Hollywood’s best and brightest stars on March 15 hit the red carpet for the 98th Academy Awards, the movie industry’s biggest night. Here are some of the top looks.
Spring hues
Pops of spring colour were a welcome sight on the red carpet.
Jessie Buckley, who won the Best Actress Oscar for her portrayal of English playwright William Shakespeare’s grief-stricken wife in Hamnet, looked regal in a red Chanel off-the-shoulder bodice and flowing pink ball skirt.

American actress Chase Infiniti, who plays actor Leonardo DiCaprio’s daughter in One Battle After Another, while not an Oscar nominee, oozed glamour in a lilac sleeveless Louis Vuitton dress with a fitted bodice and a cascade of ruffles tumbling from her hip to the floor, creating a long train.
And veteran director Spike Lee brought a splash of colour to his ensemble of muted neutrals with a bright purple hat and bow tie. In the past, he wore the hue to honour late singer Prince.

Black and white
Black and white is a perennial favourite of the stars, and Best Actress nominee Rose Byrne embraced it, while also adopting the spring trend in a strapless black Dior gown covered in white blooms.
Byrne, nominated for her performance in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, told US media outlet ABC the film was an examination of parenthood.

And Teyana Taylor, who has ruled the red carpet all awards season, wore a black-and-white feathered sleeveless Chanel gown with a sheer panel over her toned stomach.

Hockey stars, real and fictional
Shane Hollander has made it to the Academy Awards.
Heated Rivalry star Hudson Williams has been everywhere since the gay hockey love story series (2025 to present) went viral – carrying the Olympic torch in Italy, appearing on Saturday Night Live (1975 to present) alongside co-star Connor Storrie and, now, the Oscars.
Williams rocked an all-black Balenciaga ensemble – double-breasted suit, shirt and tie – with a glittering brooch to finish the look.
