We’ve watched every movie, predicted every win and argued over what (and who) our favourite celebs should wear to earn the unofficial title of best dressed. After a season packed full of surprise performances, unexpected hosts (or lack thereof) and disappointing snubs (where are all the Eighth Grade noms?), the award show supreme is finally here, and we’ve got very high expectations.
Let's get one thing straight right now: the red carpet is the real main event — especially on Oscars night. Where the Grammys invite sartorial risks and celebs could probably show up to the SAGs in jeans and a T-shirt, the Academy Awards are all about glamour. Who will show up donning new Celine (Lady Gaga and Lucy Boynton for round two)? What surprise trends will make their debut (sadly no bibs without Timothée in attendance)? Will suits return as the replacement for gowns (we're looking at you, Emma Stone)? There's only one way to find out.
Ahead, we're calling out the best and most trophy-worthy looks of the night. Share your best dressed list in the comments below.
We never knew that we needed to see Rachel Weisz in red Givenchy until tonight, and safe to say, we won't forget it anytime soon.

Rami Malek proved he could pull off any and every mode while personifying Queen frontman, Freddie Mercury. But at tonight's festivities, the Bohemian Rhapsody star and Best Actor winner showed us that a simple tux can be just as good (if not better).

When does Ashley Graham ever not look stunning? But the supermodel outdid herself tonight in this very Old Hollywood gown that hugs her in all the right places.

The Mother of Dragons is looking even more royal than usual in this drapey lavender gown. We bow to you, Khaleesi!

A lead actress nominee, a tear-jerking duet and a potential Best Picture win weren't enough for Lady Gaga tonight. The Queen of Pop herself stepped foot on tonight's red carpet in an all-black Alexander McQueen gown fit for a star. Oh and did we mention that she's wearing The Tiffany Diamond, which hasn't been worn since Audrey Hepburn strapped it on for the 1961 film, Breakfast At Tiffany's? Great way to wrap up a stellar award season, Gaga!

Can Amandla Stenberg do it all? From breaking our hearts as Rue in The Hunger Games to giving us goosebumps in The Hate U Give, we didn't know the 20-year-old actress could get any better. That is, until she stepped foot on the red carpet donning this '20s-inspired Miu Miu dress.

Crazy Rich Asians star, Gemma Chan always loves a colour moment, but this hot pink Valentino look might just be her best one yet.

Lucy Boyton has to be the most glam magician we've ever seen in this off-the-shoulder purple number by Rodarte.

Tessa Thompson is giving us major Grecian vibes in this tiered Chanel dress, courtesy of the late Karl Lagerfeld's spring summer haute couture 2019 collection for the brand.

Angela Bassett gets more stunning every. Damn. Year. Dressed in a hot pink frock by Reem Acra, we can confidently say that this year is no exception.

After wowing us in a rosé-coloured gown at last year's Oscars, we've been waiting in anxious anticipation to see what If Beale Street Could Talk star, Regina King would bless us with tonight. Thankfully, the results are in, and let's just say, the Best Supporting Actress winner looked white hot in this very Grecian (and meaningful) number by Oscar de la Renta.

We're ready to get behind any and all dudes who take risks on the red carpet, but Stephan James in this red velvet cake-inspired Etro tux might just be our favourite.

Vice star, Best Supporting Actress nominee Amy Adams, looks like a literal work of art in this Versace gown. It's so perfect, it practically looks painted on.

Melissa McCarthy was forgiven the second she stepped onto the red carpet in this caped two-piece by Brandon Maxwell.

Emma Stone is proving to be one of our Favourite looks of the night in this bronze-coloured, meme-inspiring ensemble by Louis Vuitton. Dress for the award you want, right?

First up of the night: Pose star Billy Porter, looking to die for in this velvet tuxedo turned ballgown courtesy of Christian Siriano. But that's not all. From the embellished sleeves to the meticulously chosen bling, this entire look is setting us up for a night of can't-miss fashion.

Captain Marvel star, Brie Larson was a modern-day Joan of Arc in this metallic Celine number. Hedi Slimane, we see you, and we approve.

Coming in at only 15 years old, Eighth Grade star Elsie Fisher is already making a name for herself on the fashion scene. Dressed in her usual sleek suiting — this time by tailoring genius, Thom Browne — it's safe to say we couldn't be more excited to experience her style game for many years to come.

Black Panther's Danai Gurira is a gold ray of light tonight in this Brock Collection gown and matching headband.

We'd happily stare in the mirror all day if it were J.Lo, decked out in a mirrored number by Tom Ford, that we saw in the reflection.

With the neon trend sweeping the nation, we knew at least one attendee would show up donning hot pink or slime green — but both? Disney channel alum Laura Marano stepping onto the red carpet in this duel-toned Celia Kritharioti frock was everything we could've asked for and more.

Queen Latifah has been serving up red carpet lewks on Oscar night since her debut, but after seeing her tonight in custom Michael Costello, we think 2019 might go down as her best one yet.

Laura Harrier is serving looks and spreading sustainability all in one with this 100% sustainably sourced sky blue gown by Louis Vuitton. Hats off to you, Laura.

The Wife actress, Glenn Close is going for the gold — literally. Decked out in a whopping 42-pound Carolina Herrera dress (made with over four million beads, according to ABC's pre-show), Close isn't letting anything go to chance when it comes to winning her first Academy Award after six nominations and no wins.

Nominated for best live action short and wearing sustainably sourced Christian Siriano? Not a bad way to make your Oscars debut, Danielle.

After starring in not one but two fashion-focused films ( Ocean's 8 and Crazy Rich Asians), we expect nothing less than top-notch style from Awkwafina. Surprise: she gave us just that in this DSquared2 metallic suit.

Hot pink wasn't exactly a nuance trend on the red carpet tonight, however, the eye-catching waistline and metallic details on this Brandon Maxwell gown put Sarah Paulson's Oscars look a notch above the rest.
