Red Carpet Roundup: The 2023 Oscars

See all the looks from the champagne carpet at the 95th Academy Awards.
Red Carpet Roundup: The 2023 Oscars
By Essence Fashion · Updated March 13, 2023

We’ve made it to the big night; The Oscars. Tonight the biggest names in Hollywood gathered at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles to celebrate an amazing year in film, last year. And while we await the suspense of if some of our favorite nominees this year will win it big at the ceremony (like Brian Tyree Henry and Angela Bassett), you know why we’re here — the red-carpet fashion. This year marks the 95th ceremony, with the red carpet going champagne instead. Stars like Laverne Cox in her custom icy-blue Vera Wang gown and Disney’s live-action Ariel, Halle Bailey in a voluminous blue princess-esque ball gown glowed on the red (we mean champagne) carpet.

Angela Bassett did the thing, looking regal in purple yet again this season (as she did at the BAFTA’s and the Wakanda premiere), this time in a purple Moschino gown. Fellow Wakanda star Danai Gurira opted for a sleek black Jason Wu gown worn with a sculptural updo. Zoe in Fendi couture, Jay Ellis in a sleek Fendi suit, and a special Halle Berry appearance in a white Tamara Ralph gown with a slit and floral appliqués.Our stars showed up and showed out!

Making a last-minute red-carpet appearance, in typical fashion, was Rihanna (who was nominated for Best Music/Original Song). The multihyphenate megastar wore a custom brown leather Alaïa gown that perfectly accentuated her pregnant bump.
