On Sunday, March 12th the Oscars were televised live around the world, honoring high achievements in the art form. For the first time in decades, celebrities walked across a “champagne” colored carpet instead of the usual red carpet to make them appear more “lux” according to Academy CEO, Bill Kramer. Below are photos of four celebrities in their red-carpet outfits and a detailed explanation of what and who they are wearing.  

Rihanna stepped onto the red carpet wearing a gorgeous deep brown Alaïa set exposing her bump. The set included a leather bra and maxi skirt with a brown mesh top underneath. The skirt had cut-outs on each thigh and a long train causing the outfit to look more elegant. For accessories, she wore Moussaieff High Jewelry earrings and rings and strappy heels hidden by her skirt made by Gianvito Rossi. 

Austin Butler wore an extremely modern look to the Oscars this year consisting of a black velvet tuxedo by Saint Laurent paired with a plain white button down and a black bowtie. He is wearing black square-toed heeled boots with a black glossy finish making the outfit look sleeker. He included a Cartier ring, bracelet, and earring into this look also. Fans believe he is doing an amazing job at truly embodying Elvis Presley through not only his actions, but his style.  

Michael B. Jordan was insanely well dressed at this year’s Oscars wearing a Louis Vuitton double-breasted tuxedo with a satin lapel. Under the tuxedo he wore a white bottom down with a black bowtie and black square-toed dress shoes. To add color to his look he added a pair of Tiffany & Co.’s Bird on a Rock Brooches, one stone was a blush pink and the other was a deep emerald green. Adding to accessories, from Tiffany & Co. he also wore diamond earrings, a diamond tennis bracelet, and a diamond ring finishing it off with a stainless-steel watch with a black strap.  

Cara Delevingne looked stunning in her vibrant red gown by Elie Saab. The dress is one-shoulder with a puffy design on the side and a thigh high slit. She wore a pair of platform peep-toe pumps by Stuart Weitzman in a red shade matching the gown perfectly. For accessories, she wore a diamond jewelry set made by Bulgari consisting of a thick choker, earrings, and a large bracelet. To pull the diamond accents together she added an emerald cocktail ring made by the luxury label.
