The 96th Academy Awards, one of the most-anticipated nights during award season, has returned and was packed with a slew of A-list stars.

With an award season brimming with big-screen hits, including Barbie, Oppenheimer and Killers of the Flower Moon, we expected a night packed with jaw-dropping ensembles, but little did we think we'd be treated to such sartorial beauty.

Following last year’s red carpet comprising Rihanna in an unforgettable Alaïa halter dress, Salma Hayek in a riotous Gucci gown and Florence Pugh in Valentino haute couture, this year is bound to include looks we’ll not forget in a hurry.

Here are the best red carpet-outfits from the 2024 Oscars:
