Jessie Buckley did both: she won the best actress Oscar and delivered a red‑carpet moment. In her acceptance speech she said the role “cracked a kind of tenderness” in her, a feeling reflected in her Chanel gown of blood red satin‑backed leather and rose pink chiffon.

The colours brought emotional warmth and the silhouette shifted the focus to her face, the wide crimson neckline echoing her broad, lipsticked smile; the shawl‑wrapped top with a waisted full skirt nodded to an Edith Head gown worn by Grace Kelly to the 1956 ceremony.

Teyana Taylor, who missed out in the best supporting actress category, still stood out as part of the winning One Battle cast. Also in Chanel, her look was leotard‑tight at the torso, sheer and crystal‑bedecked, then exploding into black and white feathers from waist to hip — audacious and unapologetic.
