The 93rd Academy Awards were held a little bit differently this year due to the ongoing Covid-19 as the award ceremony was held across two venues in Hollywood, the Dolby Theatre and downtown Los Angeles' historic Union Station.

The Academy Awards red carpet has witnessed some of the most glamorous and head-turning outfits along with some of the most not-so-flattering ensembles as well in the past. The 2021 edition of the Oscars was nothing less than a star-studded affair with stars walking on the red carpet in their best outfit with maintaining social distancing and showcasing the brilliant work the designers and the makeup artist had put up with. Even though everyone looked gorgeous while they paraded at the red carpet, we’ve selected some of the red carpet looks that we believe stood out from everyone. 

Let’s look at the best dressed Hollywood stars on the red carpet of the 93rd Academy Awards:

Zendaya in Valentino

Actress Zendaya surely knows how to make a statement on the red carpet and her stunning-looking yellow Valentino gown was one of the head turners at the Oscars 2021. She paired her gorgeous strapless gown with a unique cut-out below the bust with 183.3 carats Bulgari jewels worth $6 million. Zendaya kept her makeup on the minimum side and let her hair fall naturally.

Vanessa Kirby in Custom Gucci

‘The Crown’ actress Vanessa Kirby was nominated for Best Actress for her role in ‘Pieces of a Woman’ and appeared on the red carpet in a beautiful yet edgy custom pale rose silk gazar column gown with a box pleat train by Alessandro Michele for Gucci which had a subtle cut out detail at the waist. The actress paired her stunning gown with a sleek Cartier necklace and a deep red lipstick with dark nails.

Margot Robbie in Chanel

Margot Robbie with bangs appeared on the red carpet as a producer of the highly appreciated movie, ‘Promising Young Woman’ and she decided to don in a custom Chanel Haute Couture gown, a slinky black mermaid silhouette bedecked in silver-foiled floral. Margot mentioned, “It always feels like a special moment when I’m wearing Chanel but tonight was even more special because we finally got to see everyone from our film Promising Young Woman again in person!” She wore her hair in a low ponytail and debuted blunt bangs.

Amanda Seyfried in Giorgio Armani

Amanda Seyfried slayed the 93rd Academy Awards’ red carpet as she appeared in a red-hot Giorgio Armani Prive Tulle Gown. The dress was made of plissé tulle and had multiple ruffles at the neckline. She wore a red lip with it and decided to pull her hair into a low bun with classic finger ways and accessorized the entire look with Forevermark yellow diamond drop earrings and Stuart Weitzman heels. At the Oscars pre-show, she mentioned, "I really can't believe we're around people right now. It's like the Twilight Zone. In a good way."

Regina King in Louis Vuitton

Regina King appeared on the red carpet of Oscars 2021 in her stunning sky-blue custom Louis Vuitton gown with modern-day Cinderella vibes, encrusted with crystals, and featured a plunging v-neckline with dramatic winged shoulders. She paired the evening gown with Forevermark jewels, opted for a sleek bob and steel blue smokey eye look. Regina's gown "took 140 hours to make and is embroidered with over 62,000 sequins and 4,000 crystals."

Youn Yuh-jung in Marmar Halim

Youn Yuh-Jung not only made history by being the first Korean actress to win an award for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of a Korean grandmother in “Minari’, but she also appeared as one of the best dressed Hollywood stars on the red carpet in a boxy midnight blue brocade gown designed by Egyptian semi-couture designer Marmar Halim. She completed the look with a velvet belt, a diamond bracelet from fine jewelry brand Chopard, and sleek Bottega Veneta heels.

Viola Davis in Alexander McQueen

Nominated for Best Actress for her role in ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’, Viola Davis’ white Alexander McQueen gown with an intricate cut-out bodice and chiffon skirt was one of the head turners at the 93rd Academy Awards. The stunning actress accessorized her look with Forevermark diamonds, including drop earrings, a ring, and two sparkling bangles. Her look was completed with an updo hairstyle, smokey eye makeup, dark nail polish, and a white clutch that was embellished with crystals.

H.E.R in Dundas

The singer-songwriter H.E.R made her red-carpet debut in a stunning custom-made cobalt blue hooded cape and jumpsuit by Dundas. She was won the 93rd Academy Award for Music (Original Song) for "Fight for You" from Judas and the Black Messiah. The singer’s outfit was inspired by the legendary musician, ‘Prince’ who passed away five years ago and wore a similar sparkling hooded outfit at the Oscars in 1985. The singer paired her jumpsuit with signature sunglasses and jewels by Chopard, matching Giuseppi Zanotti's heels.

Angela Bassett in Alberta Ferretti

Angela Bassett walked the red carpet in a custom-made red Alberta Ferretti off-the-shoulder gown with full, draped organza shoulders, a high slit, and a long train. She paired the gorgeous gown with Christian Louboutin heels, Judith Leiber clutch, and accessorized with a Chopard bracket and ring.

Laura Dern in Oscar de la Renta

Laura Dern who won the Best Supporting Actress award last year walked the 93rd Academy Awards red carpet in Oscar de la Renta outfit which had a black turtleneck on the top, white ostrich feathers on the bottom. The actress paired her Oscar de la Renta mixed-media gown with shoulder-grazing dangling earrings and the loose curls that have become her signature 'do.
