All The 2019 Oscars Dresses That Deserve A Second Look

Feb. is a good month for high-fashion followers. You're treated to New York Fashion Week early on, with the energy of Parisian haute couture still lingering in the air. Then, perfectly timed, some of the best shows of award show season kick off — ushering in celebrities wearing the luxurious ballgowns and sleek slips you've swooned over from fashion weeks gone by. And this year, watching the best dresses from the Oscars float across the red carpet was a present in itself — whether the gowns were from a recent, buzz-worthy collection or the mind of a designer you'd never heard of before.

You knew the dresses were going to be stunning judging from the movies nominated, though. A Star Is Born, The Favourite, and Black Panther were all up for the Best Picture title, meaning the fashion-forward actors from each film would be walking the Oscars carpet. (And an iconic fashion moment is created any time Lady Gaga walks the red carpet.)

The lineup of women in the running for Best Actress brings a diverse array of styles to the stage, too. Besides Lady Gaga, Yalitza Aparicio, Glenn Close, Olivia Colman, and Melissa McCarthy are up for the title — though all five actors should win an award for style.

While there may be no Academy Award for red carpet dressing, The Zoe Report's list of favorite Oscar dresses may come close. Ahead, all the best dresses — aka fashion moments — from the 2019 Oscars.
