The Academy of Motion PIcture Arts and Sciences handed out awards for acting, directing, producing, costumes, music, writing and more at the 96th Annual Academy Awards in Hollywood on March 10, 2024. We, meanwhile, are judging which stars won (and lost) on the red carpet with their Oscars fashion.
Let's get started with the best and worst dressed of the night…
Sure, many fashion critics might love the pink Giambattista Valli haute couture gown that Ariana Grande wore to the 2024 Oscars — where she walked her first red carpet in four years — but we can't stop thinking she looks like a stick of cotton candy. Sorry, Ari! (But we did like it a little more from the back — see that next…)

Billie Eilish — who became the youngest ever two-time Oscar winner on March 10 when she (and brother Finneas) took home the best original song prize for "What Was I Made For?" from "Barbie" — looked great in a Chanel suit plus Mary Janes and socks… but we were really hoping she would have upped the glam factor for such a big event. It was giving more Oscars luncheon than Academy Awards night, right?
Keep reading to see the part of her look that we liked the most…
_
Billie Eilish's tiny Chanel bag in a houndstooth print was the best part of her look.

Keep reading for a closer look at the incredible details…

Emily Blunt's Schiaparelli couture gown featured the perfect little train.
Keep reading to see her best accessory…
_
"Oppenheimer" star Emily Blunt's best accessory of the night might just have been her husband, John Krasinski, who matched his cream-colored tuxedo to her sequined dress.
_
Emma Stone — who took home her second Oscar on March 10 — was also a fashion winner in a simple yet strong statement peplum gown by Louis Vuitton in a mint shade.
Keep reading for a closer look at her necklace…
_
Emma Stone accessorized her Louis Vuitton gown with jewelry by the brand including a stunning diamond and yellow gemstone necklace and diamond earrings.
_
Maybe Cynthia Erivo's green leather Louis Vuitton dress was meant to chanel her character in the upcoming movie musical "Wicked," but to us, it felt more inspired by a dinosaur.

Cynthia Erivo's leather Louis Vuitton dress gave off Godzilla vibes from behind.
Keep reading to see the one part of her look that we loved…
_
Cynthia Erivo's emerald, diamond and pearl earrings were wicked in the best way.
_
Two of the "Barbie" boys delivered killer looks on the Oscars red carpet despite both deciding to skip ties — we definitely thought the subtle sparkle on Ryan Gosling's tuxedo jacket was Kenough to place him among the best dressed men at the 2024 Academy Awards.
Keep reading to see another great look on another male star from "Barbie"…
_
Lookin' good, Simu Liu! No shirt, no tie, no problem — the brooch was a nice touch too.
_
"Barbie" star America Ferrera delivered our favorite look among the cast's female contingent: a pretty pink Versace chainmail dress that took more than 400 hours to make.
Keep reading for a closer look at her beautiful necklace…
_
America Ferrera wore Pomellato's Ode to Milan Castello Necklace — featuring rubellites and diamonds — to the 96th Annual Academy Awards.
_
"Barbie" star Issa Rae's 2024 Oscars dress appeared, at first glance, to be a basic black gown with some sparkle on top… but a closer look revealed that her Ami Paris dress was in fact crafted from dark green velvet that was embroidered with sequins on the bodice and across its wide belt. That subtle color shift made her look a win in our eyes.
_
Gabrielle Union shimmered in a unique silhouette: a strapless silver minidress worn atop a matching column skirt from Carolina Herrera, all accessorized with a diamond and aquamarine necklace by Tiffany & Co. "I am feeling myself," Gabrielle told E! preshow host Laverne Cox. We were feeling her look too!
_
Margot Robbie missed out on an Oscar nod for her performance in "Barbie" — and sadly, we think the ultra-structured black Versace dress she wore on the 2024 Academy Awards red carpet delivered another miss.
Keep reading to see it from a more flattering angle…
_
Margot Robbie's black sequined Versace dress had an almost entirely different silhouette when seen from the side.
_
Lupita Nyong'o stunned in a pale blue Armani Prive gown that was originally made for her in 2020 — proving her style is truly timeless.
_
Andrea Riseborough's plaid Loewe dress was fun and quirky — just not for Oscars night.
_
A winning pink look? Zendaya in this Armani Prive gown covered in sparkling black palm trees against a sunset-inspired background.
_
Florence Pugh was a vision in a silky silver Del Core gown accessorized with Bulgari jewels at the 96th Annual Academy Awards.
_
Also stunning in silky silver at the 2024 Oscars? Charlize Theron and her Grecian goddess-inspired Dior look.
Keep reading for a closer look at her decadent diamond necklaces and earrings…
_
Charlize Theron wore multiple pieces of Boucheron jewelry including the Quatre Radiant Edition pendant earrings, choker and necklace.
_
Anya Taylor-Joy also delivered a memorable silver Dior moment at the 96th Annual Academy Awards in this dress inspired by the iconic fashion house's famed "Junon" gown from the Fall/Winter 1949 collection.
_
We love The Rock, but we did not love Dwayne Johnson's silky silver suit — or all those wrinkles.
_
Hailee Steinfeld's Elie Saab gown looked a little too much like Princess Jasmine cosplay for our taste this Oscars night.
_
We loved "Killers of the Flower Moon" star and best actress nominee Lily Gladstone's look at the 2024 Oscars — and we loved the thought that went into it even more: Her midnight-blue gown was a collaboration between Gucci and Indigenous designer Joe Big Mountain of Ironhouse Quillwork, who turned porcupine quills into a stunning border on the bodice.
Keep reading for a closer look…
_
Check out the porcupine quills trimming Lily Gladstone's 2024 Oscars gown.
_
Julianne Hough's Alexandre Vauthier couture jumpsuit was just a little too voluminous, landing her on the miss list.
_
Kirsten Dunst's ivory gown by Gucci might have been super simple, but it was also ultra elegant.
_
Diane Warren is an incredible songwriter, but her flame-trimmed suit didn't earn any fire emojis from us.
_
Molly Sims' pink chiffon Georges Chakra Couture gown was pretty enough, but the ultra-low-cut bodice was more of a distraction than a winning detail.
_
We don't mind that Bradley Cooper skipped a tie (after all, we loved Ryan Gosling and Simu Liu's looks), but there's just something off about his 2024 Oscars ensemble between the double-breasted jacket, the cut of the trousers and those shoes. Next!
_
Mary Steenburgen has never looked better! The black Tom Ford column gown she wore to the 2024 Oscars was wildly elevated with a buckle detail on the bodice and a thigh-high slit.
_
Michelle Yeoh's Balenciaga gown would have been a winner if it wasn't two-toned.
_
Oscar winner Rita Moreno might be 92, but she's still a sucker for great fashion. The "West Side Story" icon arrived at the 2024 Academy Awards in this playful ruffled black Badgley Mischka gown she accessorized with long black gloves.
_
Da'Vine Joy Randolph's icy blue Oscars gown featuring voluminous sleeves and a long chiffon train was a winner — just like her: The star took home the best supporting actress Academy Award for her work in "The Holdovers" on March 10, 2024.
_
Jennifer Lawrence's polka dot Dior Haute Couture gown with a matching shawl was pretty, but ultimately, it felt a little too less-than-luxe for an event like the Academy Awards.
_
A polka dot dress we liked a lot more? Leslie Bibb's 2024 Oscars gown had that extra bit of oomph.
_
We adore Regina King but her orange Atelier Versace gown felt like something from red carpets of seasons past.
_
Come on, Kate McKinnon! You were Weird Barbie — a basic black suit doesn't do you justice!
_
Singer Becky G, who performed "The Fire Inside" from "Flamin' Hot" during the 2024 Oscars, delivered a fashion hit in this black-and-flesh-tone bustier dress by Vera Wang paired with full-length gloves.
_
Jodie Foster's custom midnight blue Loewe dress missed the mark — it was just too understated.
_
Filmmaker Ava DuVernay's pale blue Louis Vuitton dress was a big winner on the 2024 Oscars red carpet — we loved those buckled straps!
_
This sparkling wine-colored dress on Grace Gummer — who's married to "Barbie" music guru Mark Ronson and is the daughter of Meryl Streep — was a style winner on the 2024 Oscars red carpet.
_
Ncuti Gatwa — one of the Kens in "Barbie" who's also in "Masters of the Air" and is the newest Doctor on the beloved series "Doctor Who" — looked sharp on the 2024 Osars red carpet.
_
Brittany Snow stunned in a bright yellow Monet gown that she accessorized with Pomellato jewelry at the 2024 Oscars.
_
Screen Actors Guild President Fran Drescher was giving off "The Nanny" vibes in her big hair and custom Ami Paris dress, which she paired with a cropped tuxedo jacket. And we mean that in the best way.
_
Ryan Michelle Bathe looked beautiful but blended in too much in this beige gown. With husband Sterling K. Brown nominated for an Oscar at the 2024 ceremony, it was her night to shine too!
_
This haute couture velvet column gown by Tamara Ralph might have been basic black, but its unique structured neckline made it more interesting than most black dresses at the 2024 Oscars, landing Eva Logoria in the fashion winners column.
_
Never have we ever seen a more '80s-prom twist on a dress at the 2024 Oscars, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan — and we're not sure we like it.
_
Maternity style never looked so good! Vanessa Hudgens looked beautiful in Vera Wang haute couture as she announced her first pregnancy wearing a black stretch Italian cupro long-sleeve turtleneck evening gown with a floor-length hand draped sash accent at the waist.
_
Is it wrong to love a look more once you find out it's vintage? Laverne Cox impressed in this black-and-gold Benitier Plisse dress from Thierry Mugler's Autumn/Winter 1986 collection and accessorized with Mugler earrings from the designer's Autumn/Winter 1987 collection.
