Rose Byrne, Kate Hudson, Emma Stone, Teyana Taylor, Elle Fanning—it's their moment.
And with each of those stars among those hoping to hear their name called at the 2026 Oscars March 15 so they can go up, up, up to the stage inside Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood for the Conan O'Brien-helmed ceremony, you better believe their looks are gonna be, gonna be golden.
No surprise that Fanning placed a lot of, uh, Sentimental Value on her Academy Awards look.
Earning a Best Supporting Actress nod for her work in the Norwegian tragicomedy, she put a lot of care into tying the wisteria design on her custom Givenchy gown and her Cartier jewels to the trellis that bloomed each spring on her childhood home.
And her "dear friend," designer Sarah Burton, and her team painstakingly sewed "each little wisteria petal with so much love," Fanning noted to Zuri Hall during the Live From E!: Oscars red carpet. Admittedly, though, she was in stitches over her bling. "It's from 1903!" she revealed. My heart is pounding. I’m nervous about a lot of things right now."
Joining Fanning in shinin' like they were born to be, KPop Demon Hunters' cast showed fans how it's done, done, done.
"I feel like a queen," Arden Cho (who plays HUNTR/X lead singer Rumi in Netflix's runaway smash) raved to E! of her Miss Sohee look. "I was very much being like, you know, Rumi let’s be main character energy." And, happily, the hand-embroidered look from the Korean brand, "Kind of reminds me of a hanbok in a very modern way."
And her costar Ji-young Yoo (the trio's bubbly rapper Zoey) was right on her side.
Though Yoo and her stylist had discussed choosing a Korean designer, the feel of the Carolina Herrera they chose "was a happy accident," she told E!. "This looks like a hanbok, which is traditional Korean style dress, it just really worked out nicely."
It was also "somewhat comfortable," she added, "But slaying is first and foremost."
And their vocal KPop counterparts were definitely, uh, golden in their coordinated gilded look, though, Dior-clad EJAE (who belts out Rumi's songs) admitted to E!, "I did not expect us to match so well."
F1's Damson Idris, though, fully expected to race away with some red carpet recognition.
"I don't have a stylist," the actor admitted to E! of selecting his satin blue Prada and custom engraved Didris brooch on his own. "I'm trying to see how long I can save money."
Count Chase Infiniti among those who have been winning one red carpet after another during award season.
"I feel actually so amazing," the One Battle After Another star told E! of her custom lilac Louis Vuitton. "And I love the color. I love how it looks and I’m just very, very happy with it."
Similarly, Heated Rivalry star Hudson Williams decided to shoot his shot with custom Balenciaga and Bvlgari jewels, telling E!, "I'm having fun."
Marty Supreme star Odessa A'zion has also been serving on every carpet. Yet, "I'm still learning," she insisted to E! of getting a crash course in fashion. Though her Valentino 'fit paired with a pile of Pandora bling proved she's a quick study. As the actress put it, "We just shoved a bunch of necklaces together."
Her film also piled up the nods, with the Timothée Chalamet-led sports dramedy getting recognized in nine categories, including Best Actor.
And then there's Sinners' historic 16 nominations, including nods for Michael B. Jordan, Delroy Lindo and Wunmi Mosaku, who recently told E!, "It feels incredibly humbling to be a part of this legacy of this film. I would do this job all day, every day forever and ever."
And she's just one Oscar attendee living out her greatest fantasy.
Joining Mosaku and Taylor in the stacked Actress in a Supporting Role category are Sentimental Value's Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas and Fanning, along with Weapons' Amy Madigan. (See all the winners here.)
Meanwhile Byrne, Hudson and Stone are up against Sentimental Value's Renate Reinsve and Hamnet's Jessie Buckley.
And for the men, Mosaku's costar Lindo joins Benicio Del Toro, Jacob Elordi, Sean Penn and Stellan Skarsgård in the supporting actor race while the lead actor trophy will go to Leonardo DiCaprio, Ethan Hawke, Wagner Moura, Chalamet or Jordan.
As for the contest that takes place before a single trophy is handed out, well, you be the judge.
These stars are done hidin' the Oscars looks they spent months planning. Now they're shinin' like they're born to be.
