The excitement surrounding awards season is palpable, especially as the ceremonies approach. While I may not have first-hand experience of walking a red carpet at an Oscar or Emmy event, I can only imagine the elaborate preparations involved. The period from the Gotham Awards in December 2025 to the Oscars in March 2026 will undoubtedly showcase a dazzling array of gowns and tuxedos, yet some events offer a more relaxed atmosphere. One such occasion was today’s Oscar Nominees Luncheon at the Beverly Hilton, a celebration for those nominated for Hollywood’s most coveted accolades.
Rose Byrne epitomized effortless style this afternoon, wearing a piece from Louise Trotter’s spring 2026 Bottega Veneta collection: a brown tank top with one strap elegantly slipping off her shoulder, paired with tapered high-waisted black trousers and off-white mules. Joining her in the stylish display was Wagner Moura from The Secret Agent, who took a bold departure from traditional attire with a rich plum shirt and matching trousers under a coordinated overcoat.
While many attendees chose tailored suits, their ensembles deviated from conventional red carpet fashion. Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas from Sentimental Value—a rising star in the fashion scene—also turned to Bottega, donning a draped cream silk blouse paired with an oversized navy suit. Her co-star Elle Fanning opted for a distinctive touch with a feminine take on suiting from Givenchy by Sarah Burton. Emma Stone also added her flair with a tuxedo-inspired minidress by Julie de Libran, featuring striking lapels and a plunging neckline.
In a nod to individuality, Jacob Elordi pushed fashion boundaries by pairing a black jacket with gray trousers and brown shoes, while Timothée Chalamet opted for a vibrant, electric blue double-breasted suit, completely shunning neutral tones.
Here, take a look at some of the trendiest outfits from the 2026 Oscar Nominees Luncheon.
