LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -“Wicked” star Ariana Grande walked the Oscars red carpet on Sunday in a sculptural flared pink top and a tulle skirt by Schiaparelli, one of several actors to make bold fashion statements.
Whoopi Goldberg wore a shiny blue gown with a flared skirt, while British actress Yasmin Finney sported a black dress featuring feathery attachments that shot over her head.
“A Complete Unknown” star Elle Fanning chose a lacy white gown with a full skirt and black belt, while “The Brutalist” best supporting actress nominee Felicity Jones wore a silver dress with slits and a tie around the waist.
Demi Moore, favored to win best actress for “The Substance,” won a sparkling silver gown with a train flowing behind her.
Zoe Saldana, a favorite to win best supporting actress for her turn in “Emilia Perez,” wore a multi-tiered maroon dress with a sparkling top and long gloves on her arms.
“A Complete Unknown” best supporting actress nominee Monica Barbaro won a voluminous high-waisted pink skirt with a sparkly top.
Halle Berry wore a strapless silver gown with shiny small tiles running down the dress, while Gal Gadot chose a bright red gown with a full skirt.
Among the men, the black tuxedo was popular and Oscars host Conan O’Brien sported one. But Jeff Goldblum picked a white jacket and a floral purple shirt with purple flowers attached to his lapel.
“A Complete Unknown” best actor nominee Timothee Chalamet chose a lemon yellow suit and shirt.
Colman Domingo, nominated for best actor for “Sing Sing,” amped up his look with a bright red jacket and shirt and black lapels to go with the black trousers.
Comedian Bowen Yang wore a pink shirt and an embroidered leather jacket with no tie.
The creators behind the animated film “Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl” carried props related to their film, and one of the directors of the documentary feature about Ukraine, “Porcelain War,” carried a small dog in his arms.
