Which Designers Will be Worn by Oscar Nominees? Predictions and Insights
Hollywood’s leading ladies are set to bring sartorial flair to the 2026 Oscars.
From Emma Stone to Teyana Taylor, the nominees have been showcasing stylish looks throughout this award season. With the biggest night in film approaching on Sunday, March 15, Us Weekly is speculating on which designer each nominee might don on the red carpet.
Stone, 37, who has been a Louis Vuitton ambassador since 2017, is expected to dazzle in a couture creation from the French fashion house at the ceremony. Nominated for Best Actress for her role in Bugonia, she often sports Louis Vuitton at nearly every red carpet event she attends.
Elle Fanning is a bit of a wildcard, with possibilities ranging from Elie Saab to Gucci and Ralph Lauren. The Sentimental Value star, nominated for Best Supporting Actress, has donned both Gucci and Ralph Lauren multiple times recently. For the Oscars, Us anticipates the 27-year-old actress will shine in a custom Gucci piece, mirroring her outfit from the 2026 Golden Globes.
Jessie Buckley, a Best Actress nominee, has been seen in Chanel, Balenciaga, and Dior, but after sporting Bottega Veneta twice recently, Us predicts she’ll select the Italian label for the night.
Taylor, another fashion-forward star, is known to mix designers — always looking fierce in her outfits. With her recent stunning appearances in Ashi Studios, we’re betting on the Best Supporting Actress nominee, 35, showcasing that brand at the Oscars.
Renate Reinsve has worn custom Louis Vuitton for two of her last three red carpet outings, so Us projects she’ll be dressed by the designer while celebrating her Best Actress nomination alongside Stone.
Kate Hudson, who is also nominated for Best Actress for Song Sung Blue, has been favoring Valentino lately, so we expect her to grace the red carpet in another custom look from the iconic designer.
Rose Byrne, nominated for Best Actress as well, has favored several Chanel outfits leading up to the Oscars, leading Us to speculate she may once again choose the designer.
Best Director nominee Chloe Zhao is anticipated to don Gabriela Hearst at the Oscars, having previously rocked the designer’s creations at various events throughout the awards season.
Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, nominated for Best Supporting Actress, along with Amy Madigan and Wunmi Mosaku, present a more unpredictable style landscape.
Us speculates that Lilleaas, 36, might turn heads in an Armani ensemble, while Madigan, also up for Best Supporting Actress, could opt for Christian Dior, as she wore that brand at the SAG-AFTRA’s 32nd Actor Awards. There’s a solid chance that Mosaku, 39, a Best Supporting Actress nominee, will steal the spotlight in either Louis Vuitton or Christian Siriano.
