Oscars 2024 fashion: Top 10 looks, who wore who

MANILA, Philippines — The 96th Academy Awards fashion parade on the red carpet reception simply continued the annual Hollywood spectacle that culminates the awards season annually.

Male celebrities looked dapper in their 'de rigeur' coat and tie ensembles. The actresses, on the other hand, sizzled in their gowns of choice; with most opting for metallic hues, the classic black, or the cool shades of azure.

This year, Hollywood's best and brightest flocked to the Dolby Theater on Hollywood Boulevard to honor the creme de la creme from movies made in 2023. The "Oscar Walk," referring to the red carpet arrival area, is 900 feet long and 33 feel wide. It would take one to walk its entirety in two to three minutes, but with the "step and repeat" posing along the way for photographers, it would take longer than three minutes to reach the auditorium. The "step and repeat" areas have set dressing Oscar statues standing at 7.5 feet, with each weighing 65 pounds.

One of the early arrivals was "Dune 2" star Anya Taylor-Joy who glowed in a silver off-the-shoulder Dior haute couture ball gown, with an art of repetition detailing.

Anya, said Dior, "illuminated the red carpet in a magnetic Dior Couture ivory silk silhouette inspired by Christian Dior’s iconic Venus dress."

Another lady in silver was Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh ("Everything, Everywhere All At Once") who shone in a one-sided ensemble that fell to a side hustle and train, complete with opera gloves from the House of Balenciaga. "Dune 2" star Florence Pugh donned a slinky number with a scooped neck detail.

Couples and families also made an appearance at the red carpet. Among then were Kirsten Dunst and Jessie Plemmons. Academy Award-winner Nicolas Cage ("Leaving Las Vegas") and daughter. Multi-awarded director Steven Spielberg ("Schindler's List," "Saving Private Ryan")
