The film industry’s biggest night has finally arrived. The stars of today – as well as year’s past – have gathered together at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood to celebrate the 94th Academy Awards, hosted by Wanda Sykes, Regina Hall, and Amy Schumer.
This year’s red carpet turned out to be a particularly special one, with the arrival of Oscar hopefuls Will Smith, Ariana DeBose, and honoree at the 15th annual ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood Awards, Aunjanue Ellis (just to name a few), showing up in some amazing outfits from the fashion world’s best designers. The combination of California’s beautiful weather, and Black Hollywood’s strong presence on the red carpet, the 2022 Academy Awards will surely be one to remember.
Take a peek at some of this year’s best looks on the Oscar’s red carpet.
