After a long awards show season, celebrities saved their most show-stopping fashions for Hollywood’s biggest night (as if we expected anything less!). Stars arrived to the 2022 Academy Awards, and it was clear bold ballgowns, high-shine embellishments and standout suits were the trending looks of the evening. Red carpet veterans like Jessica Chastain and Lupita Nyong’o went with shimmering gowns, while stars like Zendaya and Ariana DeBose shook things up with crop top ensembles. Hollywood’s leading men also brought must-see suiting moments thanks to Kodi Smit-McPhee’s blue tux and Timothée Chalamet’s embellished jacket (sans shirt). Below, see every best dressed star at the Oscars 2022 red carpet.
