Who are you looking forward to seeing on the red carpet tonight? Who will be the best dressed? All will be revealed in a few hours time!

Meanwhile have a look at the 100 best Oscar dresses of all time, according to Vogue, or the best vintage looks. Is it hairstyles you're after? We've got those, and best makeup looks too!

I was thinking yesterday that it would be a great environmental message to wear something old.

hopeishere · 09/02/2020 18:36

They tried that with the BAFTAs @Apileofballyhoo and only Kate seemed to do it! A few vintage dresses would be good.

Hey Queen

Checking in from the royals thread.
Looking forward to seeing the outfits 😁

Lottapianos · 09/02/2020 19:50

Oh yes, Michelle Williams! Another one who loves colour and looks amazing

SeaViewBliss · 09/02/2020 19:57

Disclaimer: I know nothing of style.

I do however love something Navy. Not so keen on white or nudes in a gown.

Julia Roberts always looks amazing to me and I just love Reese so will look forward to seeing what she is wearing. Also Jennifer Lawrence.

Great to see some really memorable dresses in that Top 100 list, but one of my all time favourites is missing!

Unfortunate shadows there, makes it look like ScarJo's bra and pants are on display!

But as I said on another thread, everyone hires a stylist and they're so tasteful these days. We'll never seen the likes of Cher's Bob Mackie outfits, Céline Dion's backwards tux or Björk's swan dress again!

Oh for a Swan Dress... Much as I love a bit of glamour I think it is all taken far too seriously now.

NextdoorNeighbourIsATwat · 09/02/2020 21:07

Queen, British actress Cynthia Erivo is up for two Oscars (woot!) and she's got quite a distinctive sense of style so I'm hoping she pulls a Bjork

EachandEveryone · 09/02/2020 21:09

What channel are you watching? E!?

wildone81 · 09/02/2020 21:24

Live from red carpet starts on E! at 10pm....

@QueenOfTheAndals I remember previous Oscars threads so hello.

I love Angelina's looks but she doesn't really do the Oscars now.

I'm looking forward to J-Lo, Zendaya, Lupita (love her use of colour). Been loving Renees looks this award season although it's her usual style. This was the Sprit awards, love it.

I thought there would be an Oscars film thread but I cant see one that anyones interested in.

frugalkitty · 09/02/2020 22:31

So it's not exactly a swan.....but not far off! Pic from the DM

Just came back to post Billy Porters outfit. He always looks spectacular.

whitershadeofpale · 09/02/2020 22:40

Early contender for worst dressed and ‘why the fuck are they invited’

MotherofPearl · 09/02/2020 22:48

Never heard of Lily Aldridge but she looks great.

Lily Aldridge is beautiful (model married to Kings of Leon singer)

whitershadeofpale · 09/02/2020 23:09

Sigourney Weaver looks great. Shocked to see she’s 70!

Agree that Lily looks lovely. That Billy porter dress is amazing. I wish we got more interesting ones like that nowadays as well! Not loving what I've seen of Laura Dern's so far. It looks like it needs ironed.
Not a fan of these huge ruffles a lot of them are wearing. They are all so slim that they look a bit drowned by them.
You can watch the arrivals live in youtube as well here.

DandyDuchess · 09/02/2020 23:12

Lily Aldridge’s outfit is gorgeous.
Agree Sigourney looks great!
I LOVE Idina Menzel’s dress. Gorgeous colour, really suits her.

I love Regina King

whitershadeofpale · 09/02/2020 23:20

I think Regina King’s dress makes her boobs look wonky.

Redcrayons · 09/02/2020 23:21

Just popping in here to have a nosey at the posh frocks as I don't want to succumb to the sidebar.

The white is lovely (don't know who she is)
