Michael B. Jordan, nominated for Sinners, is chic personified in a black Louis Vuitton suit with Nehru collar, and waist chain. Understated, but with something a bit interesting, who needs more?Photograph: David Fisher/Shutterstock
Anne Hathaway brings gloves back to the red carpet - combining them with a fish tail frock covered with Chinoiserie pattern. Expect internet sleuths to be analysing the look for clues to what Andy Sachs will be wearing in the much-anticipated Devil Wears Prada sequel when it drops in MayPhotograph: Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP

It’s been a relatively sober night for menswear but this Amiri suit and tie (so many ties!) on Sinners star Miles Caton, seen here with his mother, is chic and contemporary and different without clamouring for too much attentionPhotograph: Kevin Mazur/Getty Images

It’s all white on the night for Timothee Chalamet. The suit – made by Sarah Burton at Givenchy – feels a little sci-fi, and not at all the world of Marty Supreme, which is set in the 40s, and has had a signature colour of orange. If the actor infamously leaned into that, with him and his partner Kylie Jenner wearing the colour for the film’s premiere, he’s gone for a blank canvas here. Add the shades and shoes that look like they could easily stand up to 10k steps a day and he could be a futuristic overlord. Maybe that’s his next role?Photograph: David Fisher/Shutterstock

Zinzi Evans and Ryan Coogler. Coogler wears Louis Vuitton, and what has now become a foregone conclusion: A Visible Watch. There seems to be some anxiety around over-dressing at the moment, particularly among the men. Still, the white tie on white shirt helps temper any stuffinessPhotograph: Julian Hamilton/Getty Images

Appropriately for a queen of Hollywood, Sigourney Weaver, star of Avatar 3, looks regal in gold floorlength sequins. The contrasting cuffs add a perfect note of whimsyPhotograph: JC Olivera/WWD/Getty Images
Here’s Bugonia’s Emma Stone going full Regency in silver Louis Vuitton with little cap shoulders. It’s a little à la statuette to really stand out – but maybe that’s the aim. A word on the makeup though, which is the reason every female nominee under 40 looks more or less the same. You can tell makeup artist Nina Park’s work from the lips. There’s no discernible lip liner, just a natural glossy tint smudged slightly above the cupid’s bow. A bit dewy, a bit glowy, with this slightly fat lip, Park has weaponised no-makeup-makeup.Photograph: Mike Coppola/Getty Images
Teyana Taylor won a Golden Globe as Best Supporting Actress wearing a Schiaparelli dress which she said made her “feel and look like her own statue”. For the Oscars, she’s gone for Chanel, a brand that is currently winning fashion thanks to its new designer Matthieu Blazy – and a dress that is less statue and more show-stopper. Who knows if that will translate to Taylor winning again?Photograph: Mike Coppola/Getty Images
Maleficent chic comes to the red carpet! Demi Moore’s dress is pure evil queen, complete with feathered bustier and a feathered skirt with the kind of sheen found on birds of paradise or – twitchers might note – a great-tailed grackle. Expect the birds – apparently found in south-eastern America and Mexico – to be on more moodboards soon.Photograph: Lexie Moreland/WWD/Getty Images
Nicole Kidman goes full frou frou white swan in Mathieu Blazy’s Chanel, a fashion house which has frankly won the red carpetPhotograph: Arturo Holmes/Getty Images
Chloé Zhao has some good previous with red carpet outfits – she wore trainers, pigtails and a plain Hermes dress to the Oscars in 2021, when she won Best Director. She’s gone in a different direction this time around – channelling all the best goth elements in one: shiny black layers, big sleeves and a veil. Can’t wait to see what she goes for next.Photograph: Mike Coppola/Getty Images

A textbook Oscar dress might have a full skirt and strapless bodice, with lots of sparkle. Elle Fanning’s dress – designed by Sarah Burton at Givenchy – fits the bill. Combined with an up-do and diamonds, the best supporting actress nominee is nothing if not classic glamour.Photograph: Richard Shotwell/Invision/AP
