Last night in Los Angeles, the 98th Academy Awards ceremony took place. This time, celebrities opted for a trendy combination of red and pink – like Jesse Buckley – in luxurious evening dresses with feathers and floral motifs. Vogue.ua reviewed the star's exits and collected the main trends on the Oscars 2026 red carpet.

Feathers
Feathers were one of the most striking decorative elements of the evening. They appeared on the hems and bodices of dresses, adding drama and movement to the look. This technique, used by Teyana Taylor and Demi Moore, among others, instantly gave even a minimalist silhouette more theatricality.

Glitter is back on the red carpet in the form of dresses covered in sequins. From silver and gold to colorful options, this trend highlights the glamorous side of Hollywood. Thanks to the play of light, these dresses look especially impressive under the flashes of cameras.

New “naked” dress
The “naked” dress trend continues to evolve. While it used to be extremely provocative, it now has a more refined character: transparent fabrics are combined with drapery, embroidery, ruffles, lace, sparkling stones and strategic appliqués, creating a balance between sensuality and elegance.

Peplum dress
The peplum has made a surprise comeback in evening fashion. On the Oscars red carpet, designers are reimagining this silhouette, making it more sculptural and modern. This element emphasizes the waist and adds architectural expressiveness to the look. The evidence is the looks of Nicole Kidman, Georgina Chapman and Lee Jun Lee.

Gold
Gold dresses have become a symbol of true Hollywood glamour. From soft shades of champagne to rich metallic shine, this color was especially appropriate at a ceremony traditionally associated with a golden statuette.

Floral motifs
Floral details became a romantic accent of the evening. Volumetric appliqués, embroidery or large decorative flowers adorned the dresses, adding softness and drama to the images at the same time. This trend proves that floral motifs can have not only a gentle, but also a truly spectacular character on the red carpet.
