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.
