Here is a roundup from the rest of the attendees from the 2026 Oscar Nominees Luncheon which took place in LA on Tuesday.

A Sharper Direction

I feel like I have seen this Givenchy Spring 2026 by Sarah Burton look countless times already (but in reality, it has been different version of it), yet this feels new for Elle Fanning, and I welcome the shift. The sharp tailoring and plunging neckline bring a sharpet edge to her usual softness. Some of you may feel it reads too mature, yet I appreciate that she is not coasting on ingénue codes.

The sculpted waist and layered drape through the skirt prevent it from feeling underwhelming, while the Cartier brooch adds personality.

Suiting With Swagger

Amy Madigan is having an exceptional run in tailoring this awards season, and this shimmering silvery grey Thom Browne suit continues that momentum.

It is the brocade finish, the precision of the cut, and the assured styling with the matching tie and heeled brogues shoes ensured that this landed.

Minimal, But Not Basic

Chloé Zhao wore FFORME Fall 2025, staying true to her understated aesthetic. The sheer skirt adds lightness to what could have been a straightforward black look. It is subtle, but that transparency shifts the mood and prevents it from feeling flat.

Light Suit, Strong Presence

Considering how many dark hues dominated this red carpet, EJAE’s cream AMIRI Spring 2026 pinstripe suit felt like a breath of fresh air.

The soft tailoring and relaxed proportions already set it apart, but it’s the styling – the brown polka-dot shirt (over the green from the runway), snakeskin pumps and lace bra peeking through – that adds personality and a subtle edge to the look.

Oversized, Undone, Effective

Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas’ understated style received a lift in this Bottega Veneta Spring 2026 suit. The oversized tailoring gives it relaxed confidence, while the soft neutral palette of the blouse and shoes prevents this from being boring. Instead, the look reads clean and modern that still feels true to her style.

Back To Basics

After the sparkle in London, Jessie Buckley returned to black in this Alaïa Resort 2026 strapless dress. The cocoon silhouette adds dimension and shape, ensuring the simplicity does not slip into monotony. It is restrained, but still visually interesting.

Runway vs. Real Life

I assumed this Bottega Veneta Spring 2026 look – the top specifically – might not work off the runway, but it translates beautifully on Rose Byrne. The sculptural proportions do hold up on the red carpet.

Maternity Chic

Wunmi Mosaku continues to excel in her maternity awards season style in this Ri Mi fitted olive dress. The gathered detailing and sculpted hardware frame her bump beautifully.
