On Sunday evening, March 27, 2022, at 8 pm ET, the Academy Awards ceremony began at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood. As stars stepped out for one of the biggest events in entertainment, we took a look at the glamorous style that was on display at the ceremony.
The Oscars have long been a global stage for brands and celebrities to cement their collaborations, as well as a laboratory for designers to showcase some truly inventive designs. With young rising stars and new fashion forces such as Zendaya in Valentino, Timothée Chalamet in Louis Vuitton and Cartier, and red carpet regular Nicole Kidman in Armani, the star-studded extravaganza continues to be a celebration of luxurious creations.
While some dressed to impress, others, including the evening's co-host Amy Schumer, missed the mark on style.
Megan Thee Stallion
Singer Megan Thee Stallion wore a delicate high-slit dress with ruffles from Indian designer Gaurav Gupta. The American rapper's debut at the Oscars became one of the most successful images at this year's gala concert. And Dune actress Zendaya hit the red carpet in a white silk crop top shirt paired with a shiny long silver skirt, custom-made by Valentino creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli.
Timothee Chalamet
Young American heartthrob Timothée Chalamet turned heads shirtless in a monochrome sequined jacket with lace detailing from Louis Vuitton paired with Cartier jewelry. By the way, men looking for inspiration and new facets of their image do not need to look further than Jake Gyllenhaal, who was simply gorgeous and charming in a Givenchy suit.
Jada Pinkett Smith
Actor Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock on stage at the Oscars after Rock joked about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith's hair loss, sending social media into a frenzy. Drama aside, we loved the voluminous Jean Paul Gaultier gown Pinkett Smith wore on the red carpet. By the way, Lupita Nyong'o turned heads with her gold number from Prada. Nicole Kidman arrived in an elegant muted blue strapless dress with a sequin train from Armani Privé.
And while everyone was discussing the consequences of Smith’s action, American actor Wesley Snipes teamed up with his co-stars from the film “White Men Can’t Jump” on the red carpet of the 2022 Oscars, celebrating the comedy’s 30th anniversary in a stylish Givenchy ensemble. .
Cynthia Erivo
Cynthia Erivo stepped out in a cool black three-piece ensemble from Louis Vuitton that perfectly blended formality and elegance, proving that the red carpet isn't just about sparkly dresses.
Liya Kebede
Other celebrities used their designer choices to send a message. No matter how attractive the usual luxury outfits are, there is nothing better than seeing the newest addition to the Oscars lineup. When Liya Kebede walked the carpet in a burgundy velvet dress from Pieter Mulier's spring 2022 collection for Maison Alaïa, it was an exciting moment of fantasy that introduced millions of viewers to Mulier's expressive talent.
Some of those present were winners in their choice of clothing, while others were unlucky. And for every brilliant girl who looked amazing in her designer dress, there was another who became a fashion misfit. Likewise, some of Hollywood's leading men looked like runway models, while others were simply impossible to watch without laughing hysterically.
