Last night's 89th Academy Awards red carpet was full of fashion hits

The 89th Academy Awards took place last night. The stars on the red carpet were spotted wearing trends like nude dresses, long sleeves and dashing bow ties for men. We complied a list of the must see looks of the evening.

Hailee Steinfeld

The actress and singer looked like something out of a Disney princess movie yet at the same time she looked like the queen of the red carpet. Hailee is wearing Ralph & Russo.

 

Taraji P. Henson

Taraji was probably one of the most elegant women on the red carpet last night. The actress stunned in a custom made Alberta Ferretti gown that was off the shoulder and showed just the right amount of skin with a statement diamond necklace.

Nicole Kidman

Nicole has been on red carpet after red carpet but still seems to be getting better each time. This nude, beaded Armani Prive gown, the red lip, combined with the up style is perfection.

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen

When they're not melting our hearts they're amazing us all with their fashion sense. John in his Gucci and Chrissy in Zuhair Murad are the epitome of high fashion couple goals.

Felicity Jones

Felicity arrived on the red carpet as a flawless Dior Ballerina. Nude Tulle has never looked this good.

 

Ryan Gosling

Gosling wore a daring look from Gucci. The ruffled shirt was a risky choice but alas Ryan pulled it off well. The bow tie was a great finishing touch.

 

Emma Stone

Ryan Gosling's co-star from the award winning movie Lala land looked dazzling too! Not only did she win an Oscar for best actress but she wins our vote for best dressed as well. Emma is wearing a fringe detailed Givenchy gown.

 

Brie Larson

The actress showed off on the red carpet in a velvet, ruffled and strapless Oscar de la Renta gown. We love it!

 

Emma Roberts

One of our favourite looks of the night was definitely this vintage Armani Prive gown that Emma Robert's wore. She looked like an actress out of an old Hollywood movie.

 

Riz Ahmed

Blue is the new black. Riz Ahmed looked dashing in a blue Ermenegildo Zegna suit at The Oscars. He just proved that men can dazzle us at award shows too.

Janelle Monae

Janelle looked like a goddess in a beaded Elie Saab a-line gown. The actress turned heads for all the good reasons as she strolled down the red carpet in this master-piece. Rocker-chic and royalty combined; she was one of the best dressed actresses of the night.
