Oscars red carpet style: 10 standout looks from this year's Academy Awards

The best looks from the 2022 Oscars red carpet.

It’s the most glamorous night of the year, as Hollywood stars shine bright on the red carpet. As always the glitz and glam was in full force at the Dolby Theatre, where we were treated to sartorial feast. In true Hollywood style there were the ultimate A-list winners while others remain unforgettable for all the wrong reasons.

Whether the homage to Sharon Stone’s Gap shirt was intentional or not, Zendaya, made the exposed midriff, red-carpet-ready.

Zoe Kravitz wearing Saint Laurent

Pretty in pink - Kravitz channels her inner Audrey Hepburn in the season’s must-have shade.

Rosie Perez wearing Christian Siriano

It’s 28 years since her last Oscar’s red carpet but Perez still has it, causing a fashion code red for all the right reasons.

Sorry Billie but taking the dramatic effect of oversized ruffles to the dark side leaves little to be desired.

Kristen Stewart in Chanel

While this may work as a Saturday night, cocktails-in-the-city-look, it misses the Oscar-worthy mark.

Maya Rudolph wearing Valentino

We think Rudolph should have left this feather-trimmed nightgown back in a ‘70s boudoir where it belongs.

Serena Williams wearing Gucci

Thanks to the lace gloves and dark floral motif this dress ain't so pretty in pink.
