Tonight, the 94th Annual Academy Awards place Hollywood’s shiniest in one place: the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. Luckily for us, there’s a red carpet involved. This year, the award ceremony’s preceding fashion procession proved to be anything but boring. Timothée Chalamet and Kristen Stewart showed some groundbreaking skin in the form of bare chests and legs (respectively). Jada Pinkett Smith and Billie Eilish opted for excessive volume while Lupita Nyong’o and Alana Haim sparked in the evening sunshine. Though it was challenging to them narrow down, the 10 looks ahead are the ones we believe will go down in Oscars (fashion) history.
