Oscars 2026: Gurus Style Picks the Best Dressed of the Night

by Jennielyn Salmorin | Mar 16, 2026

From couture gowns to modern tailoring, Hollywood’s biggest night delivered unforgettable red carpet fashion moments.

The Academy Awards celebrate the year’s most powerful achievements in film, but the red carpet has always been where fashion tells its own story.

At the 2026 Oscars, Hollywood’s biggest names arrived in looks that balanced timeless elegance with modern creativity. Designers, including Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Valentino, Givenchy, Gucci, Dior, and Bottega Veneta, brought couture craftsmanship to the carpet, while stylists helped shape the visual moments that define awards season.

Several of the evening’s standout appearances came from nominees and winners themselves. Jessie Buckley, who would later win the Academy Award for Best Actress, arrived in custom Chanel, while Michael B. Jordan, later named Best Actor, showcased modern tailoring in custom Louis Vuitton.

The evening also delivered a cultural milestone when “Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters won Best Original Song, making history as the first K-pop track ever to receive an Academy Award. EJAE, who walked the carpet earlier in a custom Christian Dior, later accepted the Oscar on behalf of the songwriting team after performing the song during the ceremony.

Below, Gurus Style highlights our favorite red carpet looks from the 2026 Academy Awards — the artists, designers, and stylists who turned Hollywood’s biggest night into one of the year’s most memorable fashion moments.
