This year's Academy Awards strayed away from the traditions, from having no hosts to a big diversity of winners. But of course, the tradition of glamorous dresses was prevalent amongst the sophisticated night. Sparkles, pink, metallic, and showstoppers ran the evening. From Versace to Louis Vuitton, everyone was dressed to the nines ready to watch beautiful performances and cheer for their favorite nominees. Here is a roundup of some of the most stunning looks!

 

Gemma Chan

A sea of pink swarmed the red carpet and every one of them looked dazzling in their gowns. The Crazy Rich Asians actress paraded a high-neck fuchsia silky gown with luscious frills from Valentino's most recent Couture collection.

Billy Porter

The Best Dressed List isn't just for the ladies anymore; boring old tuxedos are a thing of the past thanks to fellas like Billy Porter! The "Pose" star stole the spotlight from everyone with this gender-fluid look by Christian Siriano, combining a traditional tux jacket with a flowing ballgown skirt. Such a statement.

Nicholas Hoult

The Favourite actor rocks what almost appears to be the tuxedo version of a wrap dress. The unusual look by Kim Jones is actually inspired by a Dior design from the 1950s. What's old is new again, and we're loving it!
