Award season is coming to a close and arguably the night you’ve all been waiting for has (finally) arrived: the Academy Awards. Yes, the best event is saved for last. Year after year, the night is chock-full of breathtaking ensembles shown on Hollywood’s top stars. And, unsurprisingly, the best fashion moments at the 93rd Annual Academy Awards certainly did not disappoint.

While the majority of shows this season have been virtual, the 2021 Oscars allowed small in-person gatherings that included your favorite A-listers, of course. But, you’ll notice the venue is a bit different than years past. In addition to its typical Dolby Theatre, for the first time ever, the award show is also being held at the Union Station in Los Angeles. Celebrities arrived at both locations on Sunday, April 25 looking as glamorous as ever. Case in point: Even if you aren’t tuning into the show, you’ve likely already caught a glimpse of Borat’s Maria Bakalova in a stunning beaded Louis Vuitton dress on your Instagram Feed. On top of Bakalova’s talked-about look, there was also actor Carey Mulligan who was breathtaking in a strapless sequin orange cutout gown.

Scroll below for the best fashion looks at the 2021 Oscars. They truly ended award season on a high note.
