Today Hollywood is the epicentre of celebrity fashion as stars arrive on the red carpet for the 94th Academy Awards.
The parade of famous faces cinched, pinned and poured into the world's most exquisite gowns and suiting marks a return to normality for the film industry after two years of movie-making disrupted by the Coronavirus pandemic.
Here are the best looks from the Oscar's red carpet.
Her iconic Prada gown of 2014 was always going to be a hard act to follow. But Nyong'o was wise to enlist the fashion house again for this golden gown that's equal parts Hollywood glamour and shimmering festive fun.

Dune star and red carpet dare devil Timothée Chalamet has pushed the boundaries this year by opting for the no-shirt look under his sparkly black blazer. Giving us River Dance-but-make-it-fashion vibes, Chalamet's got our vote for pulling off this risqué ensemble.

A red carpet icon in her own right, Kidman's Armani Privé gown harks back to her pre-2000 days as she channels the classic peplum, pencil skirt and high-shine pastel combo.

Power of The Dog's McPhee brings a puff of powder blue to the red carpet and leads the trend in men doing monochrome.
It's royal purple Fendi for Aladdin star Naomi Scott. Cutting a strong, structured look, Scott's heavily embellished dress is a standout against the softer whimsy seen elsewhere on the carpet this year.

Cox is chic and demure in a streamlined velvet gown but makes sure she's not missed with the addition of a voluminous wrap.

You may have picked vintage Versace as the designer behind Gyllenhaal's structured velvet and bold gold look. But this against-the-trend dress from the actress is in fact Schiaparelli.

It may not be the pink scrunchie-on-the-wrist look Momoa used to accessorise his velvet Fendi tux back in 2019, but the star still makes our list this year, trading his hair-tie for a knuckle duster.
