Fashion Gems and Blunders from the 2026 Oscars: Stunning Kylie Jenner, Elegant Demi Moore, and the Fright Donatella Versace
The Oscars are not just about films, but also about fashion, which annually attracts as much attention as the awards themselves. The red carpet showcased luxurious gowns, daring models, and outfits that caused a stir from the first moment. Some stars played it safe with certainty and elegance, while others tried to stand out at any cost. Who really shone this year and who, on the contrary, missed the mark?

Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson as Hollywood Queens
Beloved actress Goldie Hawn opted for tried-and-true elegance. Her black dress with a subtle shimmer and sheer details looks very tasteful and calm. Long gloves add a touch of old Hollywood, which suits her perfectly. The outfit is more of a safe choice than a bold move, but that's exactly how elegance should look.
Kate Hudson, on the other hand, caught attention at first glance. Her light green glittery dress with a prominent corset and deep neckline beautifully accentuates her figure. She appears fresh, feminine, and confident. It's a model that demands attention, but in her case, it doesn't seem overdone at all. Next to her mother, she appears as the one bringing a more modern and bold style, showcasing a generational ensemble where both have won.
Kylie Jenner as a femme fatale and Timothée Chalamet
Kylie Jenner opted for a striking black gown that is anything but subtle. The shiny material, deep neckline, and figure-enhancing silhouette make her the evening's standout star. The feathered lower part of the dress adds a dramatic effect to the model, pushing it even further into Hollywood style. It's bold, sexy, and exactly as we know her. Who would expect Kylie to blend into the crowd?
Timothée Chalamet chose the exact opposite. The white suit looks fresh and relaxed, but at the same time, it slightly breaks the formality of the whole event. The shoes and casual styling give the outfit a hint of a rebel who plays by his own rules. Next to Kylie, they create an interesting contrast – she is the perfectly polished diva, while he is easygoing and a bit untamed. Together, however, they make it work.
Demi Moore opted for black elegance
Hollywood star Demi Moore showed that sometimes the minimum is enough to achieve the maximum effect. Simple black off-the-shoulder dress fits perfectly and highlights the figure. The entire look is clean, elegant, and exudes confidence. Exactly the type of outfit that never goes out of style.
An interesting element is the dramatic feathered accessory, which adds flair and a touch of extravagance to the otherwise simple model. Long gloves and striking jewelry beautifully complete the whole look. Nothing is excessive, nothing is missing. The result appears luxurious, balanced, and above all, natural. And that's precisely where its strength and confidence lie, which is simply typical for Demi. She rightly earns admiration for how she looks at her age. This November, she will celebrate her 64th birthday, but you wouldn't think it.
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez: Luxurious Without Surprises
Lauren Sánchez opted for a proven sexy style. Strapless black dress with a prominent slit and corset top accentuates the figure and highlights feminine curves. The overall look is sensual and polished, yet a bit predictable. It's exactly the type of outfit we often see at similar events and doesn't really surprise us anymore. But if on the day you need to head to an event, you're lacking imagination - this is it. And no one can say a word about you not meeting the dress code.
Jeff Bezos stuck with a classic that never disappoints or surprises. A black tuxedo with a bow tie is elegant, clean, and without unnecessary experiments. It looks neat and confident, even if it doesn't stand out from the crowd. Together, they form a couple that bets on certainty. They won't mess up, but their choice of outfit won't knock anyone's socks off.

Fashion Icon Donatella Versace Made a Misstep
Italian fashion designer Donatella Versace has always banked on bold style and daring choices, and no one can take that from her. However, this time it seems everything has come together all at once. The dress is very bold, especially in the hips and material, and instead of elegance, it appears heavy and unnatural. The figure somewhat disappears in it, and the whole look feels harsh.
The overall styling doesn't support the impression either. Bold makeup, hairstyle, and the sharp lines of the dress oppose each other, and instead of harmony, it creates an impression of simply too much going on. Instead of the lightness and natural charm one would expect from a fashion icon, the result feels unnecessarily exaggerated. Although simplicity is usually her strength, it seems a bit forgotten here. It is also impossible to overlook the cosmetic procedures that have significantly transformed her face in recent years. Donatella has become synonymous with a love for plastic surgery, and in this case, unfortunately, it doesn't add to her beauty. Everything is just too much.
Wunmi Mosaku as a Disguised Princess
Actress Wunmi Mosaku chose a delicate lavender gown that looks romantic and festive at first glance. The cut beautifully highlights her baby bump and the overall look is gentle and feminine. This is definitely a plus and it works. The star from the series Dark Passenger is experiencing one of the most beautiful times of her life and it's clear that she literally shines.
The problem lies in the amount of details. The prominent train with ruffles draws too much attention and unnecessarily overwhelms the dress itself. Instead of the model appearing light and airy, it's rather heavy and overdone. It's a shame because a little restraint could have resulted in a much more elegant and impactful look.
Fashion Experiment by Kate Hawley
New Zealand set designer Kate Hawley certainly didn't blend in, and that was probably the intention. A striking black coat paired with simple white dress acts as a strong visual statement, but the overall ensemble is heavy and unflattering. The material resembles technical fabric rather than an evening gown and unnecessarily detracts from the elegance that such an event should have.
The volume and cut completely overshadow the silhouette, making the outfit look more like a costume than a carefully thought-out red carpet model. Yes, originality is appreciated, but this lacks lightness and elegance. The result is more peculiar than impressive. For such a major event, that's a bit of a shame. However, it must be noted that Kate Hawley is not among the typical red carpet stars, so she was likely doing the best she could. Next time, it would be better to seek advice from someone who understands fashion a bit better.
Da'Vine Joy Randolph and the Effort to Attract Attention
American actress Da’Vine Joy Randolph chose a subtle, romantic style that could work beautifully. The cream color is elegant, and the lace adds a delicate touch, plus the slit gives the design a hint of femininity. At first glance, it seems like a good choice, and it's lovely to see that even full-figured women are not afraid of bold designs. Unfortunately, these dresses might not suit any body type.
The upper part with transparent lace and a distinctly shaped bodice feels a bit shapeless and unnecessarily breaks the silhouette. The bottom part of the dress, on the other hand, is too simple, making the outfit seem unbalanced. The result is rather awkward. It's as if two different designs met that don't quite harmonize together.
