There was no shortage of glam on the red carpet for the 94th annual Academy Awards as some of our favorites in film returned for the ultimate Hollywood family reunion. The ceremony saw celebrities mix and mingle–following safety guidelines of course—and viewers at home got a look into what award shows could look like post-pandemic.

This year’s celebration saw Hollywood royalty such as Angela Bassett Halle Berry, Regina King and breakout starlet Andra Day arrive on the carpet in avant-garde gowns, artful suits, breathtaking dresses, and couture moments.

Article continues after video.

Check out the best fashion moments of the evening below.
