AceShowbiz - The 95th Annual Academy Awards kicked off on Sunday night, March 12 at Los Angeles' Dolby Theater in style with some of the biggest Hollywood stars arriving in their most glamorous looks. Among those who turned heads at the awards show were Michelle Yeoh, Lady GaGa and Angela Bassett.
Michelle was among those who stole the show as she looked gorgeous in a sleeveless white Dior dress. The actress, who's nominated in the Best Lead Actress category for her work in "Everything Everywhere All at Once", paired the gown with a matching sparkly headpiece as her long hair was down and she accessorized with sparkly dangling earrings.
Lady GaGa also turned heads when hitting the red carpet. The 36-year-old singer/actress wore a sheer drop-waist gown from Versace. She added red lipstick to the look and a sleek, simple French braid. The star, per Variety, will perform "Hold My Hand", her Oscar-nominated song from "Top Gun: Maverick".
Angela, in the meantime, looked stunning in a strapless purple Moschino gown with an extremely low-cut neckline and a diamond serpent necklace. The dress exposed the actress' ample cleavage while a massive bow covered up the front section. She's nominated for the Best Supporting Actress award for her work in "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever", after winning the same prize at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards.
Cara Delevingne also put her best foot forward at the Oscars. The 30-year-old model/actress, who's on hand as a presenter on the awards show, was simply sizzling in a Elie Saab dress, in what was her first appearance since going public about her struggle with addiction. She gave off pure confidence as she slipped into an asymmetrical red silk taffeta ball gown with a thigh-high slit, one-shoulder billowing bow and a dramatic overskirt.
Meanwhile, Ana De Armas paid a special tribute to Marilyn Monroe. The "Blonde" actress, who's up for Best Lead Actress nomination, channeled the iconic gown Marilyn wore in 1962 to sing "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" to John F. Kennedy. The 34-year-old star wore a corseted gown with ruffled skirt by Louis Vuitton. She kept it fresh with shades of pink makeup and long hair.
Also turning heads on the red carpet was Florence Pugh. The "Don't Worry Darling" star, who's presenting one of the awards, looked pretty and punk in an unconventional Valentino Haute Couture look featuring hot pants. Her outfit included an off-the-shoulder gray high-low gown with voluminous sleeves and a long train over the black shorts underneath the layers of fabric, complete with pockets.
Halle Bailey, meanwhile, wowed in a princess-inspired gown for the award-giving show. "The Little Mermaid" star wore an aquamarine-colored gown designed by Dolce & Gabbana. Her gown featured a fitted nude-illusion corset top and a long flowing skirt of tulle
Rihanna, who's set to perform her Oscar-nominated song "Lift Me Up" from "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever", looked extremely stunning in a chic black Alaia dress with a leather skirt with a long train and sheer mesh paneling at the torso, exposing her growing pregnant belly. The floor-length dress also featured leather straps, a mesh turtleneck and mesh at the sleeves. She accessorized with two massive diamond rings with large brown stones and diamond-and-emerald drop earrings.
In the male department, most of them delivered sharp looks in typical tuxedos. Austin Butler, Brendan Fraser, Andrew Garfield, Ke Huy Quan and Miles Teller all looked dapper in classic black tuxedos.
