With the 2019 awards calendar reaching its grand finale at the Oscars Sunday evening, so too does a season of show-stopping red carpet fashion. <\/p>\n

While the tone was relatively restrained — compared with the bold statements of recent award ceremonies, at least — many stars had saved their best for last. <\/p>\n

All eyes were on the best actress nominees as they arrived at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood from mid-afternoon. Lady Gaga evoked the spirit of vintage Hollywood in a stunning black Alexander McQueen dress. She completed the look with with elegant evening gloves and a diamond Tiffany’s necklace once worn by Audrey Hepburn.<\/p>\n

Fellow nominee Melissa McCarthy was among a number of actresses seen sporting powerful pantsuits, wowing onlookers in a black and white ensemble by Brandon Maxwell. “The Wife” star Glenn Close, meanwhile, wore a gold Carolina Herrera dress (in a shade not dissimilar from the statue she hoped to take home) created from an astonishing 4 million beads.<\/p>\n

The supporting actress nominees arguably eclipsed their lead actress counterparts, however, with Regina King and Amy Adams both opting for sophistication over spectacle. Emma Stone proved more divisive: Her elaborately sequined floor-length gown sparked widespread debate on social media, where it drew gastronomical comparisons from waffles and honeycomb to burned fish skin. <\/p>\n

Elsewhere, pink proved to be the color of the night. It came in all shades imaginable, from Marie Kondo’s joy-sparking powdery pink gown to Angela Bassett’s one-shouldered hot-pink Reem Acra dress.<\/p>\n

The color appeared in a variety of shapes and styles too. “Green Book” actress Linda Cardellini and country singer Kacey Musgraves both arrived in layers of breathtaking pink ruffles; screen legend Helen Mirren wore a playful pink tulle gown; and “Forever” star Maya Rudolph wore a pink floral number paired with a cape.<\/p>\n

Jason Momoa even joined the trend, donning a light pink Fendi tuxedo. The actor’s wife, Lisa Bonet, wore a complementary number, also by Fendi.<\/p>\n

\nIn the absence of a host (following Kevin Hart’s
\ndecision to withdraw<\/a> over a series of homophobic tweets), the spotlight fell on the presenters tasked with keeping proceedings running smoothly. Of them, “Game of Thrones” actress Emilia Clarke stood out in a sparkly lilac gown, custom-made by Balmain, while sporting a new, sleek bob.\n<\/div>\n

Also among the presenters were members of the “Crazy Rich Asians” cast. The movie may not have picked up any Oscar nominations, but its stars were out in force, continuing a dazzling run of form on this season’s red carpets. <\/p>\n

Michelle Yeoh stunned in a shimmery Elie Saab gown, while Constance Wu looked glamorous in a vibrant off-the-shoulder yellow Versace gown. Gemma Chan continued the night’s pink-colored palette in a bright Valentino Couture gown and Awkwafina wore a sparkly lavender pantsuit. <\/p>\n

By and large, the men played it safe, with muted tones and sharp tailoring reigning large. Rami Malek and Bradley Cooper were among the male nominees demonstrating how to make a classic black tux look effortless. <\/p>\n

But there are certain male stars we’ve come to expect something something special from, including Billy Porter (who had previously worn a pink-lined cape to the Golden Globes, and a silky jumpsuit with enormous orange bow to the Critics’ Choice Awards). And he didn’t disappoint. One of the first arrivals on the red carpet, Porter stole social media’s gaze with a gender-defying velvet tuxedo gown.<\/p>\n

While not quite as outlandish, Spike Lee also stood out in a purple Ozwald Boateng suit and matching cap. The “BlacKkKlansman” director completed the look with a pair of custom gold Air Jordans and a necklace paying homage to pop legend, Prince.<\/p>\n
