This year’s Academy Awards – best known as The Oscars – provided a slew of surprises and entertaining moments inside the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. Hollywood’s elite gathered and used the red carpet as their moment to shine bright as the 2022 awards season comes to a close.

Heralded as the ultimate fashion arrival, each year, the Oscars red carpet is known to make or break a celebrity’s style ascent, with millions of viewers tuning in to see ‘who wore what.’ Major brands such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Prada, and others frequently clamor to dress the evening’s nominees and A-list attendees, but not every designer-clad starlet hits the style mark.

Implementing the current Spring/Summer 2022 trends of ‘saturated colors’ and ‘bold black’ allowed many celebs – including Oscar winners Daniel Kaluuya, Kevin Costner, and John Legend – to hit a home run at two of the enormous carpets of Hollywood (the Oscars and Vanity Fair’s Oscar After-Party).

Swipe through the galleries below to see who made the list.
