Last night's Oscars set a high bar for fashion, despite the setbacks and changes brought on by the pandemic. Despite the shock that the Best Actor award went to Anthony Hopkins rather than the late Chadwick Boseman, there were plenty of winners on the evening and this year's awards were evenly split. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the show was split into two venues and an innovative approach was taken to make the awards ceremony seem like a movie from start to finish. Not to be outdone, celebrities from all over the list brought their A-game to the red carpet and we're bringing you our favorite looks from the evening.
Maria Bakalova
Maria Bakalova, 24, hit Old Hollywood's coveted red carpet in a gorgeous Louis Vuitton tulle and satin dress that featured a deep V-neck and an array of crystals and beads. Bacalova was truly dazzling in her combination of diamond jewelry, classy updo, and red lip.
