The red carpet is back and better than ever. While we’ve already had the Brit Awards and the Baftas, the Oscars mark Hollywood’s night of nights, where A-Listers flock to the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
While last year saw a cut-back version of the event due to pandemic-related restrictions, this year all the glitz and glamour we’ve come to expect from the Academy Awards has returned to this corner of Hollywood.
With Andrew Garfield, Kristen Stewart, Jessie Buckley, Beyoncé and Billie Eilish all nominated for awards, and Lady Gaga, Lily James, Zoë Kravitz and Mila Kunis among the presenters, luckily, for style watchers, the fashion did not disappoint.
Zendaya continues to be the star of every red carpet she graces, and this year’s Oscars is no different. Her Valentino look mixes a cropped white shirt with a sparkly silver skirt.
