- The Oscars were hosted at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California, on Sunday.
- Corsets and plunging necklines proved to be two of the most daring fashion trends on the red carpet.
When celebrities want to make bold fashion statements at the Oscars, they typically opt for see-through gowns.
Just look at the lace dress Jennifer Lawrence wore in 2016 and the mesh gown Rachel Zegler donned in 2022 — both by Dior.
But this year, corsets and plunging necklines dominated the red carpet. Eva Longoria, for example, donned the latter.
Zuhair Murad designed her gown, which had long balloon sleeves and a floor-length skirt that matched the thin scarf around her neck.
The dress was also decorated with metallic pieces from top to bottom.
Ariana DeBose also wore a long-sleeved gown with a deep-V neckline.
Hers was custom-made for her by Atelier Versace, with crystal-embellished straps lining its neckline.
The gown also had a thigh-high slit, sheer sleeves, and a chiffon train.
Halle Bailey channeled "The Little Mermaid" with her corseted gown.
The tulle gown, which was strapless with a ruffled neckline, was created by Dolce & Gabbana. It was also sheer up top, so you could see the structure of its corset.
Jamie Lee Curtis, on the other hand, wore a tan gown with a corset bodice. It sparkled on the red carpet.
Also designed by Dolce & Gabbana, Curtis' gown had long sleeves and a straight skirt that reached the floor.
Male celebrities like Lenny Kravitz also rocked plunging necklines.
Dressed in trousers and a satin top, Kravitz left the latter unbuttoned to reveal his chest, silver chains, and a black cross necklace.
Mindy Kaling embraced the corset trend in a daring way.
Her Vera Wang haute couture gown was sheer across the waist, creating a cutout effect that contrasted its opaque skirt and long sleeves.
Monica Barbaro had one of the most colorful gowns that featured a plunging top.
Elie Saab designed her dress, which was sleeveless with a blue bodice and a full, eggplant-colored skirt.
The thin straps also created cutouts on Barbaro's sides, and the gown's skirt was semi-sheer.
Zoë Saldana paired her corset dress with a sustainable necklace.
Designed by Fendi, her dress had thin straps, a fishnet overlay, and strips of lace across its skirt.
And as she told E! on the red carpet, she accessorized with a vintage Cartier necklace. Oscars attendees were encouraged to dress sustainably, in partnership with RCGD Global.
Riz Ahmed used an unbuttoned shirt to create a plunging neckline effect.
Underneath his classic suit, Ahmed wore a pink and tan top left unbuttoned.
