## The Looks That Had Everyone Talking

**Emma Stone** arrived in a backless white Louis Vuitton gown, her signature copper-red hair now chopped into a bold bob — a striking contrast that worked flawlessly. It’s the kind of look that fashion editors pin to their mood boards immediately.

**Timothée Chalamet**, riding high on his acclaimed *Marty Supreme* campaign, walked the carpet alone. Fans hoping to spot girlfriend Kylie Jenner were left waiting — she skipped the pre-walk entirely and joined him directly inside the venue. Still, Timothée’s solo presence made for one of the most-photographed moments of the night.

**Nicole Kidman** delivered a masterclass in quiet confidence — a feathered Chanel creation that cinched her waist beautifully, paired with zero neck jewellery. All the attention landed exactly where it was meant to: on the dress. Kidman, who recently spoke publicly about her personal life for the first time in months, carried herself with unmistakable grace.

**Jessie Buckley**, a strong Best Actress contender, was a breath of fresh air in a colourful look amid the sea of black-and-white. **Zoe Saldaña** kept it sleek in lacy black, while **Anne Hathaway** added theatrical flair with a gloved outfit, playfully nodding to the upcoming *The Devil Wears Prada 2*.

The sweetest moment of the carpet? **Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams** coordinating in black — him in a classic tuxedo, her sparkling in a sequinned two-piece — sharing quiet smiles like no one else was watching.
