From voluminous gowns to sleek looks and from metallic sheen to solid black, the Oscar 2023 red carpet looks ranged from being statement to elegantly chic. Renowned celebs walked the champagne-colored carpet at the Dolby Theatre earlier this week and the camera shutters went off in documenting the best-dressed looks from the event. The Oscars, one of the most significant award ceremonies in the entertainment biz fills us to the brim with the grandeur and sartorial brilliance of the fashion industry. The Oscar 2023 red carpet looks have given us a wide range of ensembles that have brought us face-to-face with the creative excellence of leading design houses such as Louis Vuitton, and Chanel, among others. Let’s look at the plethora of looks that flooded the list of best-dressed celebs for 2023.
For those wondering about the champagne-colored carpet at the 95th Academy Awards, the creative consulting and fashion experts Raul Avila and Lisa Love decided to go with the shade so that it doesn’t clash with the orange tent that was set up at the event. The reason behind the orange tent was to safeguard the guests from potential climate change events.
