“Billie Eilish’s Chanel ensemble (worn with sneakers!) stood out in a sea of gowns and made my dreams of wearing a tracksuit at a formal event come true. ” – Christina Tourloukis, editorial assistant

“Cape? Check. Hood? Check. 80 gazillion sparkling crystals that ensure you shine brighter than anyone in the galaxy of stars at the oscars? You see where I’m going with this. Janelle Monáe showed UP and showed OUT in Ralph Lauren.” – Vanessa Craft, editor-in-chief

Best Dressed: Brie Larson

“Brie Larson shut it down with a backless cape moment. The Celine dress fit like a glove and she couldn’t have chosen a more flattering shade of soft pink. Could this be one of the most flawless Oscar looks of all time? One. Hundred. Percent.” – Melissa Perdigao, beauty editorial assistant 

Best Dressed: Natalie Portman

“The only thing that can make a Dior Haute Couture cape more iconic is to embroider names of talented female directors (who were, disappointingly, not nominated for Oscars) onto the garment and put it on Natalie Portman’s body. BEHOLD!” – Hannah Ziegler, digital editorial assistant 

Best Dressed: Saoirse Ronan

“Saoirse Ronan took a chance with the bold peplum and it worked. I love everything about her custom Gucci look – and the bangs moment! She’s head-to-toe perfection.” – Patricia Karounos, associate editor 

Best Dressed: Kaitlyn Dever

“I love how structured the bodice is on Kaitlyn Dever’s Louis Vuitton gown – it was instantly eye-catching. The leg slit and Swarovski-embellishments made this look glamorous enough for the red carpet, while the $47 Aldo platform sandals makes getting this outfit more budget-friendly for the rest of us. The best part? The dress is sustainably made with ethically-sourced materials.” – Erica Ngao, fashion editorial assistant 

Best Dressed: Penelope Cruz

“Penelope Cruz’s custom-made Chanel gown features some of the house’s iconic codes, like the white flower. Am I personally ready for the return of the high-low hem? No. But she looked amazing, as always.” – Victoria DiPlacido, digital director
